Evolution made me a man, and I’ve got the genitals and Y chromosome to prove it. Hormones gave me my libido, so, of course, I do my prancing, feather ruffling and courtship dances. I keep my nose peeled for the pheromones, and I try to make things happen. I’m a man. And I can stay stuck this way, stay a dickhead, for all my life.
But I can also come to the realization that there are other parts of me to care about and to share There’s my mind and my heart, my lovebido, my spirit. These help make me a fuller man, a more human man.
I don’t have to discard my evolutionary man-self. I can’t. I just have make it fit comfortably into the deeper man-me.
