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.
Neil Degrasse tyson sums up atheist as religion succinctly

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.

My title. "I dont think the male gender indentity is real" being a man=being a female or a person who happens to have a dick. Being a man isnt really part of a man indentity the same way being a women is part of a womens. Men dont "cosplay" as a "man" in the same way women take 20minutes to apply face paint (makeup) everyday and wear highheels to cosplay as *women

No I'm just tremendously confused. Being a man is not being a woman with a dick. Oh and speak for yourself, I apply war paint every morning before I go to work so that my colleagues know who is in charge.
I think what you're getting at is that masculinity doesn't have a concrete definition, and I think these days you might be right. Thanks to the efforts of feminists and SJWs what it means to be a man is totally up in the air. As for me, I think of myself as a pretty traditional guy.

Is there any feelings, experiences(outside of sex), or emotions that you as a man experience any less different or any less frequent then what a women can?
Yes but that obliviously has nothing to do with whats between your legs. In fact a women in your position would probably be dismayed in being forced to wear war paint instead of her choice makeup.
