"Manliness" is a social construct and inherently problematic--especially in white males.

>le phony manliness compensation cliche
Read Joyce's comments on him. He thought that Hemingway was actually more masculine than his persona.
Benjamin Nguyen
Hemingway wrote about dealing with a fragile or broken masculinity. How is it remotely interesting to point out that he may have had some firsthand experience with same?
Lots of people enjoy hunting, fishing and whoring without it being a persona, btw.

No, it, much like gender and sex, are biologically pre-dispositioned due to hormones.
Manliness, this "social construct" you speak of, is derived from the hormone testosterone which makes one more aggressive, strong, and risk taking. The drive to become dominant is inherent in all males, some in society falter, mostly due to bad parenting and the lack of a strong father figure. Another result of a weak male is actually modern society, which would completely refute your white male lie. The more society is refined, the less threats there are from physical harm.
Therefore, the most belligerent men who wish to become the "most manliness" come from tribal people, nomads, and primitive communities where the hierarchy is purely based on respect through physical dominance, and the ability to use a sound mind during high stress situations.
Go somewhere, tumblrlord.

18-25 year old Millennials are terrified at the idea of someone being not trans/feminine.
It scares them, and makes them afraid of the outdoors. That's why they have developed safe spaces and neo-facist politics damning anyone who acts like a normal human being.
