Your right, my bad. Definitely shouldn't be considered a strength, lol.

What is a man?

An adult male human being whose role in reproduction is prominently characterized by insemination.

How does a man behave in social interactions?

However he sees fit.

Is there a general/cultural standard of how a man should express himself socially?

Yes.

Are there psychological traits that are generally associated with men and women?

Yes.

Do these psychological traits result in uniform personalities among men and women?

No.

Are there any psychological traits that are prevalent and beneficial to one sex, but rare and detrimental to the other?

No.

What does it mean to be a man in one's self-identification?

That is up to the individual.

Are men disposable?

To whom are they disposable?

Athias, are you a man?

Yes.

What does being a man mean to you?

I follow my father's example, given that he's the most prominent male figure in my life. Be good to yourself and to those about whom you care. Don't hold grudges; say what you mean; never deny accountability; self-discipline; maintain your wisdom and intelligence; stand by your choices, etc.

Has your mother or female members of your family imparted or contributed anything to your sense of manhood?

Of course. Be kind. Be funny. Treat everyone like family. Have both empathy and sympathy. Be loyal. Have conviction.

You see, I don't tally up psychological points and keep score among my family and friends based on their physiological differences. I celebrate the traits I've adopted and of which I have made good use. I don't need to compete with anyone, especially using sex as a basis, because essentially my society at large, my world revolves around my family and friends, and we do our best to try to do right by ourselves and each other--male or female.

Just proves my point, and you aren't countering it.
