Defining manhood

What does it mean to be a man?

I need to review the challenge but first record some initial thoughts.

What benefit to defining roles? Without defined roles there is no ability to enforce responsibility or have a basis if expectations. (Without law there can be no sin, etc.)

A shared expectation of what manhood entails on a societal level helps boys to know what is expected. The real power comes when they internalize that expectation so that they expect it of themselves.
