Aroura, if you can define "positive masculinity" I may have more to say.
I certainly meet and fulfill many (not all) of the masculine roles that my society has given me. Bread winner, cars, home maintenance, driving, opening doors, carrying the heavy stuff, picking up the check, defense from threats, grilling, killing spiders, putting down the pets, .....................
Some of you will say, yeah, but a woman can do all that stuff also. Fair enough. But understand this, my wife chooses not to perform any of these tasks. It's her expectation that these duties are required from me in the relationship, and I have no problem with that. She also has a list of tasks that she considers her feminine responsibility even though I could complete most of them also.
I guess my point is that in a relationship, each partner will need to define the role(s) of the participants, be they masculine, feminine or neutral.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
