What are we going to do about all of the "non-manly" guys running around the United States? Apparently, the great assumption is that by engaging in activities ranging from military exercises to boy scouting, we could eliminate the "problem" altogether.

Gender distinctions in literature are arbitrary and often ass-backwards. Can women, for example, write "men's fiction"? Why not?

While Rev. Harris describes "gender distinctions" as God-given, he betrays his own assertion by demanding that parents break their children early of any forms of gender transgression.

I think it's high time we build a different manly culture. It is time for a new masculine strength, where men in power stand for principles that matter.

Progressives cannot blame the president for our highly militarized culture in which masculinity has been conflated with martial violence and military prowess. The roots of this tradition are so deep President Obama can't do much to soften it.

To react out of fear is neither manly nor authentic. Living in integrity is the moral high ground, and men needn't aim lower than that.

We as a culture have held fast to the idea that we need to protect the boundaries between male and female. This is wrong, and even dangerous. Instead, we need to be reframing the discussion, and asking: What makes a boy a boy?

Mr. Peanut has gotten a makeover -- a MANLY makeover. In an ad that seems at least in part an excuse for Planters to make a whole lot of "nuts" jokes (way to keep it classy, guys), the commercial joins other recent spots designed to make fun of the way advertising has represented masculinity in the past.

How do we end rape culture? We have to make sure these messages of change reach everyone within our campus communities, not just feminist activists and allies.

While the gender spectrum is a plausible stepping stone in better understanding gender, it is in no way a final solution to helping individuals find their identities.

There's not a whole lot about the world of The Hunger Games that I'd like to see carried into the future. But it's truly refreshing to see a world where gender isn't a restrictive category.

Challenging gender roles should not stop at the preschool door, and it should not just be about getting my daughter to see princesses in a different way or letting my son wear pink mittens.

In thinking about gender, I had hoped that the New York Times would deal with the recent Chris Christie attack on a law student. Christie is considered a "real man" -- a "regular guy" among his supporters, a future presidential contender.

Perceptions and definitions of masculinity vary from time to time and culture to culture. The advent of film and television went a long way toward shaping the public's visual perception of masculinity.

Many men are in a dehumanizing trap that is comparable, in a sense, to the "problem that has no name" identified in The Feminine Mystique. We applaud Michael Addis for taking one small step toward bringing the men of Mars back to Earth.

As the definition of "what it means to be a woman" changes, so does the definition of "what it means to be a man." The problem is the lack of support for this evolution.
