21 sats \ 1 reply \ @OT 30 Jul \ on: What is masculinity? FiresidePhilosophy
The man that died protecting his family was brave and heroic, but not necessarily masculine. There are also stories of mother's pulling a kind of superpower out of nowhere to protect their kids.
I think masculinity lies somewhere around the field of the stoic. Strength, confidence and calm.

I think it's masculine, because we'd think it odd for a woman to sacrifice herself like that to protect her husband. Of course a mom would go to any length to protect her kids.
