What are some manly traits you have?
Well, I don’t believe traits and interests are gendered, it’s all just human.
So while I wouldn’t see these traits etc. as “manly”, the conservative parts of society might perceive it so:
I’m:
calm and collected in crisis situations like accidents and such
can stand my ground in a fight and won’t get intimidated easily (I can be quite intimidating myself actually)
stubborn and rather dominant in most situations
the breadwinner in my household
not afraid to speak my mind
my classical fear reaction isn’t flight or freeze, it’s absolutely fight (I process fear as aggression usually. Always have been like that)
not very bothered by social expectations, just doing my thing
a huge nerd (from Warhammer to TTRPGs, videogames up to astrophysics)
Like I said, all of this isn’t gendered in my opinion. It’s all just human.
