ANSWER
True. When one’s manhood is challenged, men may feel the need to speak or behave aggressively to defend their masculinity. When so threatened, they are also likely to accept negativity toward men with what is seen as stereotypical effeminate behavior.

The Manhood Game cards were created and developed by Dr. George Simons as a way to reframe men’s perceptions of themselves.
As Dr. Simons writes in his intro post:
Life is often played as a game in which men’s welfare is a pawn to be sacrificed. Today I invite you to join me in another game, diversophy Manhood, a game for reframing men’s perceptions of themselves, for refreshing their mission in life, and disarming social biases that attack male health and limit the possible in their own eyes and actions. Each day I will post a new card from this game, a snippet of wisdom to GUIDE our exploration, a RISK to face, facts to test our SMARTS, a CHOICE to make, or an experience to SHARE.
