A “man’s man.” Is someone who does what society needs him to do. Fight wars, stick up for his family/tribe. And when necessary, give his life, to produce these results.
A “man” will protect his community, and understand that his life, will be in jeopardy. He will put his safety in hazzard, when the situation calls for it.
A man’s purpose, is to keep his species life, above his own. This, is an evolutionary trait, in most men’s role, in any species. He is desposable. He is to do the hardest work, and if need be, sacrifice his life for the better of his species.
I suppose, that this means he is to do the worst things necessary for the survival of the women and children. That could be committing murder, or going down with the ship..
It’s basically, about sacrifice…
Sacrifice of their bodies. Sacrifice of thier lives, if called for.
Otherwise, you are a coward. Not a “man’s man.” And should be erased from the genome…
I have put myself in harms way, hundreds of times. Often, to protect a female. I consider myself a “man’s man” I was a bouncer/LEO for many years. I put myself between other men, sometimes a dozen, and held my own. I have been stabbed, shot at, kicked, punched, had bottles broken on me, and everything else you can think of.
I’ve walked away from all of it. I’ve hurt some people very badly. I’m NOT proud of that. But. I had to do, what I had to do. I took anatomy, and physiology, in college. So. Coupling that, with my training, I can/have seriously hurt someone, on multiple occasions. I hate it. I hate myself for it…. But it is my gift, and my curse….
I often wish that I weren’t born… But. I have no control over that.
I think a real man, should be able to talk his way out of violence. And I was good at that. But. Occasionally, I had no choice.
A “man’s man,” struggles with the damage he’s inflicted on others, but knows there was no other option…..
I have retired from law enforcement. I didn’t like what I sometimes had to do. I… resent who I was…. I don’t want to be “him” anymore…
I still get into situations, that call “him” out, but I mostly don’t do those things anymore.
A “man’s man, ” is a tool. We aren’t necessarily needed, in society, anymore…..
