The Idea Of A Man

What is your idea of a man? Your response - if sufficiently mined - will in fact vary considerably from the response of your contemporaries, your wider circle, your fellow country folk and invariably the many peoples of the world. It will vary based on what you uniquely bring to the table; your distinct characteristic’s - both surficial and way beneath the surface; it will be influenced by weather you are male, female, black or white, gay or straight or one of the many individuals who straddle these poles embodying within themselves more complex identification parameters. Therefore when contemplating The Idea of a Man we have a rich reservoir from which to draw. This channel is concerned with the philosophical elements of manhood in their various expressions focusing predominantly upon the life and times of one man (me) and my experiences and subsequent musings, and the resultant broader concepts of manhood and manliness, with its various expectations.
