The Man Effect

Strong

If you were to describe what it means to be a man in one word, what would it be and why?

“I feel that being strong is a large factor for men.  Being strong is something that also separates men from women who are much more emotional than men, men are generally not that emotional but it seems that this is shifting in society. “

Word: Strong
Occupation: Student

Who is the manliest person you know and why?

“I am going to pick Tom Hardy because in his movies you can really see how manly he is. Also he has also always been good with his family, even though he has younger brothers he has always taken care of them. And he has always been macho kind of like when he was Bane.”

How would you describe toxic masculinity?

“There is this guy I know who is always trying to convince everyone of how masculine he is and people start to believe him because he lies about it so much. But, when you actually hang out with him you realize how fake he is.

Or maybe better said is when you are not really masculine at all but you are hiding it. You are trying to stuff your masculinity down others throats making them believe you are tough.”
