Invisible black, interesting comparison defined in one single character (a bit limiting, yet your taste is impeccible). I'd probably have to throw most of the character's Vincent Price, or Rutger Hauger has done in with that list, save a few small exceptions. Even in their villain roles there was always something rather mannerly that belied the villain, unusual since most modern villains resembled nothing of the sort, and instead we get rude and crude obnoxious villains for the better part of 10 yrs it seems; most of the good ones died out in the 80's, though every now & then someone comes out with a rare gem, but it's not often.
Anyway, your response was very thought-provoking (unusual on this site half the time), yet I also much humor in sunshinemiss's response as well...haha, yes I agree there as well, and it really amused me that you tied that all back to star trek somehow, hmm, I agree the mirror universes saw much mayhem and humor.
As far, as the gender question...I suppose I should address that a little since the topic is what makes a man a man. Though, I feel that is not a clear question. It makes sense, it's just...my question is what is the real reason for asking it? I mean, to every question is a reason why we ask, I do find it hard to believe it was a random question. I guess that is the curious side of me wanting to know.
Hausboy, I have read some literature on the issues you are facing, but you are right in that most people never really have to question their gender (or if they do it's subconscious). Most people know & think of me in the female way, however at times perhaps I do appear a big androgenous, I can have this sweet & innocent look one minute, or a tough as nails, or rather annoyed masculine growl or stare. I think physical features are to me the last thing on the list though, of what makes a man a man, or a woman a woman. Like many others I believe it is an attitude or state of mind/spirit, though perhaps there are a few physical traits more associated with men than women (pure physical strength being one of them, women are usually attributed to being more emotional, and sadly though a stereotype in some ways, those are usually true in some form).
Little wonder, hehe, I am slowly changing my opinion about you...the fact that you quoted Hellboy as a reference to "manhood" was totally hillarious, why didn't I think of that? I recognized the passage right away though, & to me that was a fairly good definition of a man, in the movie. But really, you could say the same thing about a woman, that how one chooses to finish is in some ways more important than the start of a journey...it is in human-kind's nature.
Strangely enough, what can start out as a small topic, often seems to product mixed and varied results. All of us come from different walks of life, but most of us, do seem to vere in similar thought-processes, thus proving that to intelligence and manners there is no gender of the spirit.
