Fuck you, Michael Douglas.
First of all, you don't get to decide what constitutes a 'real man.'
Secondly, it's gotten more complicated in recent decades how masculinity and being male should be defined because society is finally accepting that transgender people exist and starting to treat them decently. This does, however, make it a little harder to say when someone is a man. In the past, I would have said that anyone with a dick is a man, regardless of the time they spent on social media and how they look. Not anymore. These days anyone who identifies as male is a man. That is the new definition. There are zero other requirements, so I wish people like Michael Douglas would stop trying to narrow down the definition with ridiculous and arbitrary qualities.
Thirdly, I am getting so tired of people who still whine about men and/or women breaking the gender mold. Newsflash: there are no gender-specific traits. Women work in science and construction and men cook and clean. Stop trying to make clothes, jobs and activities shameful for one gender because once upon a time these things were mostly associated with the other gender.
Being active on social media does not make someone less of a man. The way a guy looks does not make him less of a man. Being gay does not make someone not a 'real' man. Etc.
This whole stupid thing reminds me of how annoying politicians are always attempting to redefine 'American,' as if being an American citizen is not enough. Clearly, if you're not also doing this, voting that and going to this church then despite being an American you are not a 'real' American. What a load of bullshit.
Though, naturally, the exception to this 'no bullshit' rule is Iggy Azalea. She is not just real. She is the realest.
