What Defines a "Real" Man?

There is an on going debate that a "real" man is defined by his masculinity or the ability to carry himself as such, regardless of whether he handles his responsibilities.  We are often taught that as men we should carry our self a certain way so that we don't appear weak. This is especially prominent in the black community, where showing signs of weakness is not acceptable. Men aren't supposed to cry, we are to remain strong. Provide for the family and be the backbone of our households. As we already know, that role has long gone unfulfilled considering the large number of single family household ran by the women, and in a lot of two parent homes, the woman makes more money, leaving the wife to be the primary provider.
