Dichotomy

 

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

"I would choose dichotomy. Because being a man is a dichotomy. We are expected to be strong yet weak, be a provider and protector while also being loving and nurturing. Strong in the face of hardship, yet soft and emotional at times as well. At its core, being a man is the expectation to be things which are in opposition to other things which we are expected to be."

Word: Dichotomy
Occupation: Private Practice Therapist & Writer
Age: 39
From: Paola, K

Who is the manliest person you know and why?

"My paternal grandfather. He was a WWII vet, small business owner, and grew up on a farm. He was one of the toughest men I've ever known. Yet his kindness and love he showed still impacts my life twenty years after his death."
