Why do people need to be grouped into stereotypes in order for things to get done? I don't understand your logic here.

Then why post an article with a title implying that the quality of being a man is something to be attained? The quality of being a man is a natural birthright, and I wont let some 'positive masculinity' bandwagon dictate that right to me.

Have you any evidence for this claim? Or are you just projecting your own beliefs onto others - imposing a stereotype of masculinity?
