What is a boy?

OK, I don't mean the legal definition or people's AOA... I mean what are the qualities of being a boy? I have had a few rather disturbing conversations around this subject with Django and especially LaudateAgno. Telling boys to "man up" really sets me off. That boys have to look a certain way, have short hair, dress like what they consider what a proper boy should look like etc... Django made a post a couple days ago referring to "the War on boys" by feminists but without elaborating. I do think that there is some truth to that, though very likely not in the way he does. The thing is that this idea of a War on boys does recognize that people have a predisposition to certain intrinsic qualities. That there is a class of traits that are uniquely "boy". Of course, where I would diverge for them in this is the idea that all boys have these traits or the same proportion/distribution of these boyish traits. I see it working the same way as I have explained 100 times as being a continuum of what is humanly possible, with grouping of trait clusters. Obviously, the largest cohort is not gay boys, trans girls, or even heterozero boys (thought heterozero boys likely would exhibit traits considered the archetype of masculinity, they are still a minority). That leaves all the average boys who aren't at the extreme ends of the continuum. That being said, perhaps all boys share some innate common qualities? ( even if they are trans-girls or at the far end of the gay scale) Can were enumerate these? Of course if you are like Django and LaudateAgno, maybe you think that all boys should be forced through some sort of negative/adverse conditioning to "act like men"? (It's the Christian thing to do :P) That reminds me of an story from my youth:) I use to go fishing and camping a lot as a lad. I always laughed internally when some of these "real manly boys" asked this fag/BL to put the worm on their hook. lol International Boylove Day BoyWiki
