What makes a man ? is it being prepared to do the right thing, no matter the cost ?

I'm like half the size of an average man so as a woman I sometimes have these moments even more intensified, like a goblin against a troll

LOL! Almost that exact phrase is what I use whenever my wife asks me why I'm peeing outside in my backyard instead of just going inside to the bathroom.

How to really feel like a man

1. Ignore gender wars bait, there are way more important things out there.
2. See step 1

Just change King to also say man.

Strong people build others up. Weak people knock them down to feel big. You want to feel like a strong man? Protect others and be generous with your spirit.

A patient I dealt with had schizophrenia and dementia, "but I'm a man, not a little girl with panties" was his counterargument to everything.

You can only have one cigarette at a time because otherwise you lose them all and run out. "But I'm a man."

You know the doctor says your food needs to be cut up. "Do I look like a little girl to you?"

That's the communal cheese bowl, this is your plate. You can't eat from the communal cheese bowl with a fork. "Do you see me wearing panties?"

Whenever I hear people making these kind of gender essentialist arguments, they just sound pitiably out of touch with reality to me.

If Men want to feel like Men then they have ways to deal with their insecurity:

Redo their own plumbing, twice. Once to change things and again to fix the problem they caused.

Chop firewood.

Build a furnace that you're only going to use like 4 times, ever.

50 pushups. If not reaching it makes you sad, start skipping numbers.

I have to feel that "a woman needs to feel like a woman" wouldn't get a similar reaction.

I'm stumped at the simple task of trying to imagine what does imply to "feel like a man".
