Excellent, excellent response! I must constantly remind myself that just because I feel a certain way about something, that I do not set the standard for society. I failed to in this regard; thank you for reminding me. Nothing so disturbs me as realizing I am or have been pretentious. You've spoken to the libertarian in me: people have the right to develop internal definitions of concepts like masculinity - or femininity for that matter - or to form opinions about what they feel is good for themselves or society as a whole. I can only appreciate the people who say "The world is already crowded enough" or "I shouldn't have children because I lack the capacity to care for them." Ultimately what they are doing is showing a form of consideration for which I should be thankful instead of ciritcal.
