[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man I find this really weird. I thought she was going to talk about other qualities besides holding open the car door. It seems like she wants to be treated like a princess and yeah, what kind of man treats women like princesses? A man who thinks that women are property to be married off in order to form strategic political alliances. JK, a conservative man. This cannot be a shocker to her.

My husband is masculine in that he has a deep voice and a strong build and this really charismatic personality, and I'm a SAHM so yeah, he "cares for me and provides for me" (man that sounds gross). But he doesn't open my car door and he daydreams about the day I make it big and he quits his job.[/quote]

It would be very difficult to get this thread to agree on what constitutes masculinity. I think there is vaguely enough understanding of these cultural norms to have a conversation, but clarify if appropriate.

For example, for me "charisma" is in no way a masculine characteristic. I feel that men and women are equally charismatic overall and that society recognizes this. At the same, I respect your opinion and don't think you are wrong! [/quote]

Ha you’re right.  I was going to say “dominant” instead of charismatic but that’s just sounds weird! I don’t know how to describe it, but I truly think that anybody who interacts with him would call him masculine. Then again, he doesn’t open my doors or get a kick out of being the sole earner so I guess others might disagree! [/quote]
