Don't yield to sexists who think you have to be a certain way just because of your sex characteristics. Being a man solely means you've a male anatomy. Masculinity and femininity are social constructs which ever change and ever differ based on subjective perception and what not, with no actual value or benefit to anyone's life. You are perfect the way you are and the way you act is acting like yourself, which is perfect for you, even if it's not the standard for the average man. ^ ^
I disagree.
Social constructs have value and utility.
In this case, masculine and feminine constructs have multi-billion dollar industries built around their perceived value, though their definitions are subjective and malleable. People put food on their table because of these social constructs. People make and write profound art and literature because of these social constructs.
