At the risk of over explaining, this is the standard leftist, feminist, and Marxist folly of conflation. The song "Be a Man" is sung as far as the speaker is aware, to an army of men. In this context, very obviously, a "Man" is aspirational, exclusive, and performative, and necessarily not something any boy is born as. This is evidenced by the adult male listeners who do not meet any of the qualifications at first.
The song does not presume or insist on any physical attribute at all, because it is neither important nor distinctive between what a boy is and what a "Man" is. Instead it focuses on spirit, mind, and comportment. The twist is that a girl is listening, and she is indeed not a "Man" nor is she even a "Woman" she is just a girl. She embraces these attitude changes and rises into a positive example along with the now Men around her who have also been influenced by the instruction.
The intentional distinction in the original movie is that a "Man" is divorced from being a male. It is instead an ideal that even adult men do not become automatically.
The conflation now, is that being a good example of the male ideal, is the same as being a man. Plenty of women can learn from the male ideal and strive for it if it is appealing. Not only does nothing in our culture stand in your way; it has been explicitly encouraged for 50 years. The original Mulan was very nearly peak feminist messaging pre-Current Era. "Girls, be great examples of Men," was a very strong message all through the 80s and 90s, and while it was tedious, it was at least largely positive and focused on a pursuable ideal.
The conflation was inevitable, especially as we pivoted into the understanding that women can't actually BE men, so men must be demoted for the desired effect of "equality." Trying to be stoic, trying to be strong, trying to be self-sufficient, these were at least beneficial things to try, but the desired measured outcome wasn't materializing. The female domination in all pursuits didn't show up as believed, so men had to be destroyed instead.
There are too many ironies to admit in the new reality where girls try to physically transform themselves into boys while somehow missing that boys are hated universally by the same forces that are encouraging them to do this. They are being sent down a chute of pain with hell at the other end in every single form. Boys are being seduced similarly with the fantasy that they can escape the ire of the monolith by rendering their body unto Caesar to escape the societal lions. This is obvious entrapment, and pitiable for all caught in its lies.
Summary: Being a "Man" is not the same as being male. Self-evidently so from the material being referenced. Fucking communists.
You can’t really be surprised by any of that, can you? It was clear from the moment trannies embraced Mulan as one of their own that they lacked an ability to understand nuance of human thought.
The thing your (excellent) analysis lacks is the sacrifice of motherhood a girl must make to "Be a Man".
Being a Man is performative. It is shown by demonstration.
To achieve the skills and attitude, to demonstrate the male virtues a woman must GIVE UP the chance of a family and children.
Feminists idolise the virtues of capability, independence and earning-power that a good man should demonstrate. For a woman to have a career and earn manly money, she attends university (or trade school) and then develops her professional skills to advance her career.
She graduates university at 23 (after fucking like a man) and then gets stuck into her career. Nine short years later she is 32 and her time is up. Her chance of getting pregnant halves every year until it vanishes. All pregnancies after 32 are considered, medically, to be a geriatric pregnancy.
As a work-around, many women decided to sperm-jack some poor sap, or, just as bad, "settle" for a man beneath her for just long enough to have a kid before she kicks him out five years later. This dooms her to a life of (relative) poverty. A two parent household earns about twice as much as a single parent household. She can either neglect her kids and earn money, or be poor as fuck. Pick one.
Women, in general, make shitty men. They don't earn as much, they don't do dirty jobs and they neglect their biological role of mother. Even Mulan, in the movie, could not beat any of her fellow soldiers in tests of strength or speed. She was clever and resourceful, but that wasn't really enough. Her team had to carry her.
Destruction of the family is an explicit goal of Marxism and the Neo-Marxist movement of feminism.
tldr; For a young woman to pursue the male virtues and to demonstrate manly characteristics in society requires her to sacrifice her chance at a family.
Where are these handshakes even coming from?
I think this one is the same retard's third account now. It's the third such account I've seen with a variant of "funni" in the name. Every time spouting retarded bullshit, desperate for anyone to bite.
Thanks for reminding me of the great Mulan animation only to then remind me of the live action filmed near a concentration camp..
Hey, at least they got the costumes for filming run up cheaply...
Or, hear me out, teaches men never to trust women especially those that work in the pleasure industry because that led to the huns downfall.
A man by definition "has a penis," so WTF?
OMG it is CURRENT YEAR you bigot!
Conflation of biological "man" with "masculine".
Nah, the Pokemon parody of that song is way funnier. This just feels like explaining the joke.
to be a man you must have honor
honor and a peeeeeeeeeeeeeenis
