Masculine
Man Series, Part 1
Merriam-Webster: Having qualities appropriate to or usually associated with a man; especially strength and aggressiveness.
Quintessential Voyage: Embodying the characteristics of strength, lack of emotion, strength, independence, and self-confidence
Disclaimer: This is not saying Femininity lacks any of the above characteristics, just what masculinity is.
Being Masculine is something that men are expected to be, being feminine is what they are not allowed to be as men. That's a little rough in this day and age with so many men being welcomed to be emotional, weak, and subdued. There is something to be said about men who can allow themselves to be exposed in some situations.
A man who is masculine (in my opinion) possesses courage and bravery, strong character, physically able, mentally developed, holds pride in himself, and has the ability to stand out in a crowd or a stand alone.
Next week we will look at a word that negatively bars against manly, physically strength.
