A real man does not objectify women and complain about his so-called "rights" on blogs and forums.

A real man does not harm others just to feel powerful.

A real man does not describe himself with a Greek letter.

A real man does not depend on someone else to define him, because he defines himself.

A real man is secure in his identity. He does not shirk away from anything just because he is afraid it would negate his manhood. A real man is man enough for even the "unmanliest" thing.

A real man does not belittle women, for he knows a woman brought him into this world.

A real man respects all women, yet only lays his life down for one.

A real man is totally cool with you replacing "women" for "men" in that last statement, if that's what you're into.

A real man does not deny his emotions. Instead, he masters them.

A real man does not deny his weaknesses. Instead, he seeks to strengthen them.

A real man uses sex not as a weapon, not as a tool to gain one-sided pleasure, but as an expression of intimacy and a deepening of relationships.

A real man can come in any size, age, color, and body type.

A real man has the capacity for violence, yet chooses not to use it unless necessary.

A real man is never satisfied with himself or the world and always seeks their betterment.

A real man does not seek glory, but instead seeks to achieve, to assist, and to aspire to greater things. Whatever glory may come from these, he accepts as a byproduct.

I am SystematicChaos, and I am proud to call myself a man.

I'm also a translator for and co-leader of Hokuto no Gun, where we do all sorts of MANga and MANime for those who enjoy a little extra testosterone in their Japanese entertainment, as well as manga and anime that have fallen through the cracks and been left untranslated for decades.
