Honestly... Like IMHO (regardless if people care about my opinion), I think that makes you less of a man. I can't sit idle while people keep affirming this. Complete lack of emotion and getting in tune with your unrestricted animal-esque sexual instincts so that you can objectify women and make them your play toys doesn't constitute manhood.
It fits into the nice box of what many 15-25 year old men (and older, for some) believe manhood to be. Life's short right? Fuck it right? That's what we're told right?
(I know that I am being a hypocrite by rejecting one absolute definition of a man, and responding with another absolute definition, but I must anyways): Being a true man (imo) is treating a woman with respect. It's being a man of discernment and tact, one who earns respect and is actually aware that he does have emotions. Our typical defense mechanism as men is to repress and suppress emotion, and if it's still around, minimize it and either a. make fun of it, or b. take it out on something else (the gym, for example).
I know I'm in the wrong venue for honest intellectual discussion, but it Can be done

Feel free to find your favorite "cool story, bro" photo... but when we are affirming each other in our own deficiencies, someone needs to say something.
Discuss.
