The idea of Masculinity: is it harmful or helpful to today's black male youth?

[Ghost_In_A_Shell]

What is "being a man"? Are the standards of "being a man" harmful to black male youth or just black males overall? What are the terms associated with the idea of masculinity? do you feel any pressure if you do not conform to this idea of masculinity? what part does the media play into these things?

I just wanted to bring these issues out into the open and see if we can have an conversation, if you all want to.

The idea of "being a man" has gotten so twisted and convoluted these days. One person will tell you being a man is being a crutch to a woman. Another person will tell you being a man is being some tactless, unfeeling force of nature whos only goal is to hoard success, money and women.
It seems like parents would have a hard time teaching what real masculinity is because there's not even a concrete definition on what that is. People just say what is convenient to them at the moment.

correction..


Being a "male" means you have a dikk.....You have to have substance to be a man.

There are plenty of bytchasses out there with dikks.....There are also trannys with dikks.

If you get the definition from TV/internet, yes, it's harmful. If you get it from men handlin' their business, no, it's not harmful.

The idea of masculinity has definitely been lost. You got kids who are identifying their sexuality before they should even kno what it means

Being a man isn't about being tough and aggressive

Masculine traits: Honor, steadfastness, discipline, courage, sense of responsibility, Strength, sacrifice, noble, dominant, competitive, confident

Tell me how those things are traits we shouldn't instill in all young men


My son will have all of these traits taught to him, your sons are free to twerk tho
