“A man does the right thing at the right time in the right way for the right reasons.”
This is the way that Stanton, Director of Family Formation Studies at Focus On The Family, defined manhood in his presentation Manhood Is Not Natural given at the 2018 Touchstone Conference. Just prior to giving this definition, he also said of manhood:
“Manhood does not exist in passivity or stasis. It exists only in action. It must be demonstrated. It is not conceptual. Manhood is never assumed. It must be demonstrated and it must be proven in order to be actual.”
