"In a guest lecture about masculinity to a college class, I ask the
students to generate two lists that might help clarify the concept.

For the first, I tell them to imagine themselves as parents whose
12-year-old son asks, "Mommy/daddy, what does it mean to be a man?"
The list I write on the board as they respond is not hard to predict:
To be a man is to be strong, responsible, loving. Men provide for
those around them and care for others. A man weathers tough times and
doesn't give up."
