A Real Man???!!

This week we learned about gender communication. For this post let's examine the image of of masculinity. First off, what is a man? Now whoever is reading this, I'm sure a picture of a man came to your mind. But for once, what makes a man, a man? And not biologically but what are the physical aspects? Because if I were to tell you that a man is supposed to be over 6 feet tall, you would contest to the fact that there are short men out there, no? Or what about hair, if it's too long? What about if it's too short? Can you think of a man's man? Who comes to your mind? What if those men started to cry out of nowhere? Would they still be considered a man's man? Or will crying suddenly be a popular thing to do???? There's no true definition on what a man is. Except for biologically. There's so much that I can say on hyper masculinity, I could make several books about it. But just to remind you Men can and should cry and show emotion. Just don't ridicule women for doing and showing emotions, men have them too; they're just conditioned to suppress it. Here's a link of hyper-masculinity looks like in the media...
