Masculinity is possessing qualities or characteristics considered typical of or appropriate to a man. The term can be used to describe any human, animal or object that has the quality of being masculine. When masculine is used to describe men, it can have degrees of comparison—more masculine, most masculine. The opposite can be expressed by terms such as unmanly or epicene. A typical near-synonym of masculinity is virility (from Latin vir, man); and the usual complement is femininity.
Constructs of masculinity vary across historical and cultural contexts. The dandy, for instance, was regarded as an ideal of masculinity in the 19th century, but is considered "effeminate" by modern standards.
The extent to which masculinity is due to socialization versus inborn factors has been the subject of much debate. Some have argued that it is based largely on biology as masculinity is inextricably linked with the male body. In this view, masculinity is something that is associated with the biological male sex and having male genitalia, for instance, is regarded as a natural aspect of masculinity. Others have suggested that while masculinity may be influenced by biological factors, it is also culturally constructed. As such, masculinity is not restricted to men and can, in fact, be female as women frequently display behavior, traits and physical attributes that are considered "masculine" in a given historical and social context. Proponents of this view point out that women can become men hormonally and physically and that many aspects that are assumed to be natural are linguistically and therefore culturally driven. Facial hair, for instance, has been linked to masculinity through language in such forms as stories about boys becoming men when they start to shave.

(This is one of the neighbors from down the street.
This record of this music has been goin' on all afternoon
and I'm sick and tired of it. If it doesn't stop I'm calling the police!)
You got me on the run, you got it your way
Now I'm feeling pretty good and I'm beginning to sweat
Your love is so fine, it's got me feelin' alright
Going out of my mind, I got to have you tonight
The girl's so deep inside, like blood in my veins
Never lets me hide, now I'm going insane
It makes me climb the walls, bite my nails to the bone
It's always by my side, it never leaves me alone
Chorus:
When it's time to get tough, I'm masculine (masculine, masculine)
When she wants to play rough, I'm masculine (masculine, masculine)
Masculine
I know that I'm a man from the spark in my soul
It can make me so hot, you got out of control
Grab her by the hair, drag her back to your cave
It's what makes a man a man, people always stay the same
(chorus)
I'm masculine
(Masculine, masculine)
(repeats)
Anytime, anyplace, anyway, in the heat of the nite and in the dark of the day
Anytime, anyplace, anyway
When it's time to get tough, I'm masculine (masculine, masculine)
When she wants to make love, I'm masculine - what d'you say?
When she wants to make love, I'm masculine
When she wants to play rough, I'm masculine (masculine, masculine)
When she wants to make love, I'm masculine (masculine, masculine)
If you push me I'll shove, I'm masculine
When she wants to play rough, I'm masculine
When she wants to make love, I'm masculine...
