This isn't directed at you personally, but at any man who chooses to answer it: is your grasp on what constitutes "masculinity" so slippery that the simple act of someone questioning it poses a threat?

Please do not project and do not be troubled for me.. I am in no need of analysis and am very secure in my Manhood. My point is that if I were a woman, I would be very confused. There was a time when few things like this were unquestioned. A man was a man and those that messed with other men were easily identified.
I never questioned the sexuality of any of my peer group prior to this down low phenomena, but now I look at certain male behavior a little more closely for my female friends
Oh BTW, I do care greatly what others think of me in this way. I not only represent myself, but my family, its good name, my Fraternity, and my God. So when I represent myself in any of those capacities, people know that they are dealing with. I represent them all in a manner deemed worthy.
2ndly, I believe it is incumbent upon me to represent the best of Black Manhood because we as Black Men are swimming against a very strong tide of failure, low achievement and overall negativity. I try to represent the best of what Black Men have to offer at all times.
