MorningStar asked: I am curious about others’ opionions on this. A friend from another culture felt that it is the man’s job to protect and provide for his family, but also controlling the family including the wife helped reinforce his masculinity. What characteristics reinforce masculinity in American culture? In other words what do Americans feel makes a man a man?
Please give me realistic and serious answers….Thanks!
Let me rephrase that… In other words what makes a man a respected, ’strong’ man in American culture?
