A man is not defined by his muscles‚ his facial hair‚ what he wears‚ what he drives‚ or by how much money he makes.

Such responsibilities may include obligations to family‚ friends‚ career‚ and community. A real man is a role model and

exhibits his masculinity. The idea of precarious manhood is that men constantly have to publicly prove their masculinity because manhood is viewed as “tenuous” (Clay‚ 2015). In addition to that‚ men are conveyed as the most dominant of the sexes. Men‚ unlike women‚ have to define themselves by means of action versus through nature. In fact‚ history shows that young males would participate in cultural rituals and competitions in order to prove their manhood (Clay‚ 2015). This all connects back to the
