  1. “Masculinity or being a ‘man’ isn’t even about being a macho meat head. Thats a false premise to begin with and judging men by that false premise is insulting. A real man is a provider and protector of his family. It takes real guts to have a family, support that family, provide for them and love them. The overwhelming majority of men do this” This comment said it all for me. Outside a small minority this is what I see all around me.
    I actually think its a good thing Grayson Perry is involved, for fun though he(and I’ll be honest I do think he’s entertaining sometimes), is he clearly is a blatant self publicist and effectively undermines his own point. And frankly does the same for the elite looking for enlightenment from a “ceramicist” in the most hilarious frocks. If he’s their guru…..

  2. Curious that to be accepted as a woman you just have to be a woman, but to be accepted as a man you have to BE something – fighter, provider, hero, tough guy, emo-man, doormat, macho-man. If you have a certain appendage you are a man. That’s it. You can be as ‘feminine’ as you want (or whatever you want); if you have that appendage you are a man.

  4. MacOisdealbh: not sure if your comment was aimed at me, so please excuse me if I misunderstood, but one’s being a man does not depend on who would rather hang out with you – that’s your right and your privilege. Being who I am – and a man, to boot – is mine.
