I don't know how much I can contribute to this, as I think I'm just going to end up echoing most of what has already been said here. I never really had much exposure to a "traditional" male/female role with the exception of my grandparents. Even at a young age, I never wanted to be the guy who expected his dinner sitting in front of him at a certain time. I never thought I could command such a thing just because of what was between my legs.
To me, a big part of being a man means being able to be strong enough to be there for others while still being able to take care of myself. Whether that means being a shoulder to cry on or reaching something on the high shelf.
