My Y chromosome. I'm secure enough to not need to cultivate and flaunt traditional banners of masculinity to prove my "manliness," whatever that is.

Stereotypes about my race suggest that somehow I am less than, or not "enough of a man". I say BS.

This is not me picking a fight with you, but you're the person I hear this from the most. Until I started reading your posts I never looked at Asian men as not being "enough of a man." You seem to point the finger a lot at other people for trying to make you feel weak (the race based posts and the 'macho man' thread)...there some insecurities there that you're not dealing with? Honest question.

I think the same thing everytime I post (no offense Vince, just unfortunate post timing on your part).

my masculinity is defined by my ability to be comfortable enough with my sexuality to do things with confidence that some lother guys might avoid due to insecurities and uncalled for social paranoia, such as wearing pink shirts and not having to leave a seat between myself and another guy at a movie theater.
