There are no 'true' men. Those that claim to be 'true' men themselves are more than likely douchebags that barely qualify as human. There are only people who act the way they think they should; some get things right, some get things wrong.

This is my policy. It can apply to both men and women, though;
"Treat those around you with respect, but within reason act as though they will do the wrong thing in a given situation"
For example, don't be a dick to someone (especially if you've never met them before), and if an argument starts then never expect the other person to be the one to stop it and just walk away.

That, and don't buy things that 'society' says is wrong but isn't. For instance, showing emotion doesn't make anyone weak (as opposed to people who think that emotion is a sign of weakness).

Also I do not see why men shouldnt be allowed to hit women. I aint talking about domestic violence that is just wrong and a horrible thing.

However if a women would just started beating up a man in public isnt the man allowed to defend himself? Should he just lie down and weep?
This is a fairly controversial subject. I subscribe to the 'if they dish it out, they have no right to be surprised when they have to take it' approach. Hitting anyone for no good reason (and there are very few 'good' reasons), regardless of sex or gender, is wrong. By that extension, striking someone in defence of yourself or those around you (as long as you do not go over-the-top; equal or less-than force should be used. For example, if someone punches you then you shouldn't pull a knife or something. Punching them back is totally fine though, as is simply restraining them.) is perfectly fine; again, regardless of sex or gender.

Men are men, women are women, but what makes a true man, is how he treats others. A true man treats others with respect and kindness not hostility, his ability to ignore those who do wrong to him. Remember, treat others with equality, you don't have to like em, but their human beings just like you and me.

I like how you think. The best parts of old-fashioned social ideology.
In my opinion, that is how every man should be. If they're not, then they cannot call themselves a Man.
Most certainly. Sadly, many men are missing this quality. Many women too, actually.

Careful with your conclusions there. What commonly is called "gender" is much more than you measured.
Because most measures of gender are irrelevant. Which, you know, was my whole point in the first place. Even talking purely bological constraints, we are talking about them as they pertain to the social being and societal impact.
