Men and Women - Symbolized Gender

Being a Man, and Being a Women; i.e. the symbol and resemblance of Gender; is false.
Gender is merely the creation of a society mixed between powerful and powerless, attempting to reestablish the powerful's rule over the powerless.

Man: is merely a person who characterises symbols (acts, behaviours, or images) that signify "a Man".
Woman too is also merely a person full of symbols that signify "a Woman".

"Man". If you merely act those symbols and make them a part of you, a part of your habits and daily activities; then you a man.
What kind of symbols are they?
- Initiative, and making decisions
- Taking care of others
- Physically strong
- Kind, but Assertive.
- The supporter of the family (even if he doesn't 100% control the resulting finances).
- "strong", not only in strength (muscles and stance); but also in independence (one who can make the right decisions at the right time; one who has emotional strength and stability; and one who has confidence at all times).

Symbols are falsehood; merely language, speech acts, and acts of confidence that are able to convey an identity. This identity is being constructed and re-constructed by others; you and others; the world at large who decides who and what a man should be.
You should look at those symbols, the new ones and the old; become strong, and change depending on the external world.
