As someone has said in a earlier posting..I base my thoughts of what a man should be upon my Fathers role..A man who is honorable,loving ,caring,protective,a hard worker,teacher of wisdom,with a bit of the mischevious little boy that peeks out at times and made all of us crack up when we saw it,one who puts his family first and foremost above his own needs.....be well..tempting

Above and beyond genitalia?

Most people think there are certain trait’s a male of the species needs to have over and above simply having the correct set of genitalia. What do you think makes a man?

Rudyard Kipling wrote the best answer to that question I've ever come across.

If
by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream and not make dreams your master;
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build them up with worn out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute,
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth, and everything that's in it,
And, which is more, you'll be a Man my son!

A male or female should be adaptable to the situation at hand, and smart enough to change as it changes.
Specialization is for ants.
Genitalia does make the gender. Human beings of every type can be equipped with either set.
Be your best. Then you are a decent human being.

I really enjoy the differences between the male species and the female species....I don't want us to be the same (lifts her skirt for the feminists in the audience to spank me) lol
