I'm not a bro.
My definition of a man's man is a man who knows gun safety, and we all did.
There are alternate definitions of manhood in the West.
Masculine ideals have become very confused in the modern world.
Masculinity is kind of a toxic curse, isn't it? The expectations of it were hard on me.
Movies portray men as tough guys.
If you're a man, you don't have to worry about your manliness.
Trump... has the 'strong father' masculine energy.
Hef has always been attracted to younger women. He loves to see the world through the eyes of someone seeing it for the first time.
I've always had a problem with the average macho man - they've always been a threat to me.
I don't want to smoke cigars or go to stag parties, wear jockey shorts or pick up the check.
I actually don't think there is machismo in America, unless it's the cowboy type - the silent, smoking brooder.
Our society constantly promotes role models for masculinity, from superheroes to politicians, where the concept of being a 'man' is based in their ability to be tough, dominant - and even violent when required.
In the U.S., oddly, we have images of men as arrogant and aggressive.
Male bonobos really don't fit the human male ideal.
Our leaders are archaic masculine figures in so far as they are aggressively old-fashioned in their masculinity, people like Trump, potentially Boris Johnson.
Usually, like, anyone that would adopt, like, 'masc,' period, to describe them - it's a very phony, stereotypical masculinity.
I think we still live in this era of hyper-masculinity.
When you're a man you try and be macho.
I think a case could be made that there's sort of a crisis of masculinity in the West. Particularly with white males.
Historically, men have a hard time getting onboard with feminism, but I think that's changing.
I grew up in such a macho family. I had a former Green Beret for a dad, a mom who's really rough-and-tumble, and three very macho brothers.
I'm very empathic to the construction of masculinity within our culture and how we build these identities up.
In the America that I grew up in, men of Asia placed last in the hierarchy of manhood. They were invisible in the high-testosterone arenas of politics, big business, and sports. On television and in the movies, they were worse than invisible. They were embarrassing. We were embarrassing.
All over the world, young males and females, schooled in the art of patriarchal thinking, are building an identity on a foundation that sees the will to do violence as the essential way to assert being.
