His masculinity was only too apparent Picture Quote #1

Masculinity is the glad assumption of sacrificial responsibility Picture Quote #1

For me, it’s a real shock to see American mainstream films. I can’t see these films because it’s always the same thing to me. This is very American. Violence is very American, and I can’t understand these films. Why do they use violence? To show what? Masculinity? To show fear? Defense? What are you showing with all this violence? Picture Quote #1

It’s great to listen to men talk about sports or fights or war or even hunting sometimes, but the presence of the other, the presence of art and beauty, which crude masculinity seems to discount, is essential. Real civilization and real manhood seem to me to include those Picture Quote #1

Defining and celebrating the New Father are by far the most popular ideas in our contemporary discourse on fatherhood. Father as close and nurturing, not distant and authoritarian. Fatherhood as more than bread winning. Fatherhood as new-and-improved masculinity. Fathers unafraid of feelings. Fathers without sexism. Fatherhood as fifty-fifty parenthood, undistorted by arbitrary gender divisions or stifling social roles Picture Quote #1

The men who are messing up their lives, their families, and their world in their quest to feel man enough are not exercising truemasculinity, but a grotesque exaggeration of what they think a man is. When we see men overdoing their masculinity, we can assume that they haven’t been raised by men, that they have taken cultural stereotypes literally, and that they are scared they aren’t being manly enough Picture Quote #1

Becoming Father the Nurturer rather than just Father the Provider enables a man to fully feel and express his humanity and his masculinity. Fathering is the most masculine thing a man can do Picture Quote #1

I have known a number of Don Juans who were good studs and who cavorted between the sheets without a psychiatrist to guide them. But most of the busy love-makers I knew were looking for masculinity rather than practicing it. They were fellows of dubious lust Picture Quote #1

Much is made of the accelerating brutality of young people’s crimes, but rarely does our concern for dangerous children translateinto concern for children in danger. We fail to make the connection between the use of force on children themselves, and violent antisocial behavior, or the connection between watching father batter mother and the child deducing a link between violence and masculinity Picture Quote #1

The sexual conquest is huge with men in terms of affirming themselves and their feelings of masculinity. That’s a misguided kind of affirmation. That is not helpful, but that stuff happens Picture Quote #1

There are just so many ways to talk about masculinity, it feels like one medium can’t do it alone Picture Quote #1

There’s an enormous difference between normative white masculinity and normative black masculinity Picture Quote #1

I think masculinity is bravado against the mystery of the universe of women. It’s just a fear of not knowing what women have that’s so powerful. It’s this shield they put up to try to get closer Picture Quote #1

A woman simply is, but a man must become. Masculinity is risky and elusive. It is achieved by a revolt from woman, and is confirmed only by other men. Feminist fantasies about the ideal sensitive male have failed. Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all Picture Quote #1

Sometimes with people I know, they’re playing the hunky action guy and there’s resistance to them coming out because it’s so connected to straight masculinity. There’s a plastic kind of movie star who has a very short shelf with very small kind of ambition. I see that but I still don’t agree with it Picture Quote #1

The sacraments infuse holiness into the terrain of man’s humanity: they penetrate the soul and body, the femininity and masculinity of the personal subject, with the power of holiness Picture Quote #1

My uncles, who are farmers in Minooka, Illinois - I grew up with them and their pickup trucks and mustaches, and to me that was masculinity: big hairy sweaty guys who could pick up a bus Picture Quote #1

When I’m talking to groups that are all men, we talk about how the masculine role limits them. They often want to talk about how they missed having real fathers, real loving, present fathers, because of the way that they tried to fit the picture of masculinity Picture Quote #1

There is a masculinity in riot grrrl music, which is probably why I don’t identify with it, but also why it was so important and powerful. That is something our scene has - regardless of who is in it, it has this very powerful feminine energy, like a Nefertiti head bust or Storm from X-Men. It’s a woman you see as very powerful, sassy, arrogant, and dark Picture Quote #1

Femininity and masculinity are social constructs. Female and male are biological. We don’t have to learn to be men or women but we do have to learn to be ladies and gentlemen Picture Quote #1
