Manhood and Womanhood defined: More, of course, could be said, but Pastor Ken thinks these sentences from John Piper get at the essence: "At the heart of mature masculinity is a sense of benevolent responsibility to lead, provide for and protect women in ways appropriate to a man's differing relationships. At the heart of mature femininity is a freeing disposition to affirm, receive, and nurture strength and leadership from worthy men in ways appropriate to a woman's differing relationships."
