Being a man unafraid of feelings.

MALCOLM  Dispute it like a man.
MACDUFF  I shall do so,
 But I must also feel it as a man.

• Shakespeare’s MACBETH

This world has more than its fill of “manly” men who believe masculinity is something void of emotion. To be a fully self-expressed human being, capable of empathy and compassion is an essential part of masculinity that has been part of human nature since our beginnings. Cutting it off and presenting “hard” doesn’t make you a man. Living fully as a well rounded, whole and complete human being and modeling that for your children makes you a real man. Try it out.
