I don't think the male gender is real. There is no distinictive male wardrobe and there are no male only hobbies or interests.
Masculinity is seen as this whole other thing just like atheism is seen as this whole other religion. Masculinity like atheism is simpley not having a gender in my opinion. Just like atheism is just about denying the belief that the universe was created.

It's odd that the word atheist even exists. I don't play golf. Is there a word for non-golf players? Do non-golf players gather and stragtegize? Do non-skiers have a word and come together and talk about the fact that they don't skii?
Religion to most people isn't about just about whether or not god exists. Their religion is typically heavily tied to how they view life as a whole. Its the same thing with women. With women being a women is part of their soul. I get the sense that if a women was born blind and deaf and was told all her life that she was a man she'd know somewhere in the back of her head that she's a women.
Whereas I doubt I'd be able to tell if I was a man in the same situation any better then this blind black racist from that david chappelle skit.Which causes society to simply believe like they do with atheists that men must also have this elaborate self identity that deeply entreached in what they do and how they think.

I disagree. We are free to make our own identity. I can figure out my own wardrobe. I can, with hard work, get where I want to go. I might have to work harder since there isn't much support out there for men. No scholarships, no quotas, no promotions because of my gender.
I love being a man. I'm free to accomplish whatever I set my mind to. What you're describing, the lack of distinctive male areas, is more a result of feminism and this obsession with getting rid of "boy's clubs". Of course there aren't many areas for men only...women are trying to fucking ruin them all, and screaming "misogyny!" when they aren't allowed.
You know what's part of my identity? Cars. Video games. The furniture I built for my apartment. The maintenance I do on my own vehicle. The aquarium which I built, stocked, and now maintain myself. I don't need society's approval to do those things. I just wanted to do them, so I did. And that is what it's all about.

Yes but none of that is tied to the fact that you have a penis.

Who cares? I've got a penis, it's my cock, and I do whatever the fuck I want with my life. that's the point, isn't it?
