    The Daddy Complex: If You Have To Ask If You're Masculine Enough, The Answer Is "No"

    thedaddycomplex:

    I keep hearing chatter about the decline of masculinity, especially with the rising numbers of stay-at-home and work-at-home dads. You think a role defines what type of man you are? Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.

    • Mikhail Baryshnikov is a ballet dancer and fucking masculine as hell.
    • Gordon Ramsay is a chef and could tear your fucking head off with his left hand while making a soufflé with the other.
    • Hugh Jackman can do a whimsical Broadway musical and play the most bad-ass mutant in comic book history.

    And being masculine doesn’t mean hunting and gathering. It means being a trustworthy gentleman who does what’s right. (Okay. If you’ve got muscles and a mustache, too, all the better.)

    It doesn’t matter what you do. What matters is who your are. You define yourself. I’ve said before that the most unmanly thing a guy can do is worry about whether or not he’s masculine.

    Stop whining, man the fuck up and get on with the ballet.

    ~ Hooah!
