A penis? Sure

A pecker makes you male.

But what makes you a MAN?

I submit it’s the acceptance and commitment to follow through with responsibility for others even when you receive zero credit.

To do the hard thing. To speak truth even if it hurts.

To be the punching bag that doesn’t give a crap what others think as long as what needs to happen…happens.

To be a man? Pecker…100%…heart and humility and wisdom…1000%

Biologically, it’s the body.

Spiritually, it’s leadership.

Practically, it’s servitude.

In America, yes. But in some Asian and Eastern cultures the measure of a man is different. Acceptance and supreme humility are valued.

Chosing what's right when it's not easy.

It’s pretty simple.


Do what you say you’re going to do.
Show up when you’re supposed to.
Do the right thing even when no one is looking.
Own your responsibilities.

Yes, this. I would throw in... being yourself, authentic.

According to the dominant political party in the United States, nothing. It’s a social fabrication.

That’s easy. Truck nuts, Guns, and the uncanny ability to not hesitate when telling a baw to meet u at the sonic.

I know a lot of women would say a penis and a good job.

If boys are made of snakes and snails and puppy dog tails it stands to reason that men are made with the same ingredients.

It's science.
