Answer:
You seem to be emphasizing a high level of social control over men (in particular using a methodology of shame), and although it would be nice to see the men in our society regain their backbones, I can't say I much support this approach. OTOH I could probably support one or two years of mandatory military service for all able-bodied men starting at age eighteen (maybe even sixteen). It would produce the same result but without generating a nasty social environment. Do you have any suggestion in mind to shame out of existence women who are mannish, arrogant, butt-kicking, feisty, loud, and androgynous, by calling only feminine women 'women', and using a different name for all the rest? Or are you one of those types who just wants to keep men on a short chain-link leash while letting women run free?

A man biologically would have every aspect that a man has. A man in society only has to look like a man with a penis (encompasses transmen). A man in certain societies are men that stand up for themselves, are stoic, strong, loving, patriotic, sensible, helps others, morally good (in a sense that they try to do the right thing...and what is "right" can be debated but let's not do this..) ect. My definition of a man encompasses the first, the last, and a few other add-ons as well. But any man should be free to (NOT) do those activities without being harassed. In my opinion. So no.

I'm a retired man who boxed as a kid at my local Boy's Club, played varsity football as a starter when I was in school, and served honorable in the U.S. Air Force. I know know plenty of men who have not done those things but who are far from being wimps.

Nothing wrong with soccer as i play it and watch it and i'm a girl lol. I also practised Tae Kwondo when i was younger which included boxing. You seem to be following the urban myth of stereotype lol.

No. The ones you describe are jocks, a subset of men.
