I thought a companion thread would be interesting.

Is that really what makes a man? How incredibly depressing.

Bench pressing
Liking football/rugby/cricket/racing
Being the driver
Tshirt, jeans and trainers

Cock and Bollocks sounds like ejaculations. You know, like "stuff and nonsense!", but more vulgar.

So if I identify as a man does that make me a man?

That is definitely a thing men can do missgraeme although unfortunately a sizable percentage of penis and xy bearing men don't actually even take care of their own children. They are still men though.

(also you're in feminist theory and this is a response to another thread "what is a woman" which is a response to another thread over in the 'News' section. But the thread this based on discusses what women literally are. So xx chromosomes, breasts and a vagina or "identities" that you can choose to be.

A man loving kids that he didn't make. Just because they are fab kids!
So strings
No fuss

Scratches inappropriate places at inappropriate times.

Likes beer and burgers. Or maybe steak.

Oo, and grasscutting abilities.

SwissWank · 27/07/2016 20:15

*Also superior bin emptying abilities.

Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails.

Nah, just kidding. Cock and balls. Every time.

Peeing standing up

Not a very interesting thread as I believe the answer is the same. Being of the male sex and being perceived as such by society at large.

Spider-catching ability

Y chromosome and male genitalia.

WilLiAmHerschel · 27/07/2016 19:08

Anyone who has facial hair, knows how to use a power tool or who is incapable of multi-tasking.

A Y chromosome. No matter what other chromosomes they have, anyone with a Y chromosome is biologically male.

Cock and bollocks
and/or
A Y chromosome

JacquettaWoodville · 27/07/2016 14:31

A man is an adult human male.

MephistophelesApprentice · 27/07/2016 11:50

Y chromosome and a testosterone dominated development, with it's attendant impact on neurostructural phenomena.

Patriarchy.
