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!

Men are men because they are men. They don’t waste time or energy thinking about being manly, they’re to busy doing!
