Rise of the Zeta Male

i was asking this very same question myself-on a dating site-lol

its a real bitch because there is no concrete answer

A real man to me is someone who is a gentleman but isn't a doormat either. Definitely isn't a mangina. Wants a real lady, not a feminist woman. Not afraid to cry and ask for help.

A "real man" in the context of a feminist is someone who takes care of a woman's every need, supplies their ever want, and never gets in their way. In other words, a man devoid of life.

I'm not afraid to cry or ask for help. At the same time I don't really want to be labeled a real man. I want to labeled as a person, who doesn't see a need to fit into a certain gender role.

Oh, and I would never want a feminist woman. Such is equal to death.

Here is one feminist's perception of what constitutes "REAL MEN".

Quote from Ashlee

Chauvenistic men like to call feminist men feminine in the hope that they stop fighting for womens rights. Chauvenists understand that every man has an ego, and calling a man feminine is very hurtful and detrimental. It's all psychology, it's to belittle the men who are REAL men for fighting for equal rights!

I was going to quote some other lines about what a 'real man' is from various folk on the Y!A site. After a search for 'real man', the FIRST advert on the page - directly above all the search-results is an advert for breast-cancer fund-raising which states "Real Men Wear Pink..." Ahuh - I think they meant, "Real Men put their money to women's health rather than gender neutral health research."

'Nuff said me thinks.

ehh idk theres nothing wrong with putting money towards a direct cause. We do the same towards prostate cancer. I think more people are likely to donate towards finding a cure for a specific illness if: they have been affected by it (victims themselves, lost loved ones, etc)
a man is probably more likely to donate money and work towards a cure for breast cancer if he has lost or is losing a family member because of it. Its sad, but thats generally the way it works.

I agree with the general point, Z, but nonetheless BC receives some 40x more funding (private & government) than does PC.
