What makes a man ? is it being prepared to do the right thing, no matter the cost ?
No a man is a miserable little pile of secrets
Or it's a plucked chicken
Ah yes, man bad
The first is a quote from Dracula in one of the Castlevanias, the other is an ancient Greek rebuttal on a logic statement regarding what a man is
No. That's just what makes a good person. Pretty much the same with every other "Being a man means yadda yadda yadda" I've ever heard so far. Every time, what follows are a list of qualities that make a good person/human, and are neither exclusive to men, nor counterfactual for women. To think otherwise would be to imply that women don't/can't/shouldn't possess those qualities (I'm not saying you thought otherwise Hadriscus; I'm just taking my thought to the next logical step).
I don't have a satisfying answer for what "makes a man" because I reject the entire concept that there is any list of qualities of what makes a [gender]; or that one is even needed. The closest could be a pair of testicles (per Laser's reply), but then we'd enter into a trans debate and frankly I support trans-rights.
Or to really sum it all up, the entire debate is just a bunch of gatekeeping and social identity politics ("man" and "woman" both) that really is just stupid and counterproductive to us all getting along.
yea, I agree,... nothing to add. 👌🏼 My post above was just a quote from the big lebowski, I'm glad it prompted such a thoughtful reply
[face palm] I haven't seen that movie in a LOOOONG time.
And what makes a man turn neutral? Is it the lust for gold? Power?
I was just born with a heart filled with neutrality.
Tell my wife I said hello.
What makes a man? Is it the power in his hands? Or is it his quest for glory?

Great, now it's time for me to listen to this on repeat for the rest of the week. Again.
Edit: Now you're a man, a
Has science gone too far?
I actually thought that was what the previous comment was referencing. Awesome
hahaha haven't heard that in a lifetime !
Sure, that, and a pair of testicles.
You joke, but perhaps... perhaps you're right.
