When people tell a male he must act more like a "real man," what they mean is he should not act like a woman. Society sees women as inferior beings.

The term is often correctly labeled as sexist, but incorrectly labeled as misandry.
A "real man," is typically used towards heterosexual men who do not embody behaviors projected onto females by society, including submissiveness, nagging, complaining, weakness, or fragility.

A stereotypical term used by people when they mean to say "human with good qualities". In fact, these people make no sense, since a woman can have good qualities too.
Also used to manipulate insecure men.
Instead, this term should be used to describe a man with masculine qualities. Recommended especially when having sex because it can be a real turn-on and won't be taken seriously.
Incorrect use #1
Person: Do what I want

A real man is some hood rat's or wanna be hood rat's delusion that anything less than their type of guy is not even a "real man." Like the rest of the male population is supposed to be some kind of Pinocchio. In truth, a real man is an adult who was born with a certain identifying appendage. That is the qualification. In itself "real man" is irony, as that person declaring their desire for a "real man" is clearly playing make believe. Don't fall for it. They aren't asking for a real man, they're asking for a sucker.

A Real Man is a male that accepts that he is a man and will not dress up as other genders. To be a Real Man, the Man, will be normal and not be transgender or homophobic. Being a real man also requires other things such as not hurting women, not being disrespectful to Jesus even if your not a Christian, and having manners. There’s many more that requires being a Real Man. But I’m not going to list all of them because The Real Men should know.

A "real man" is the what you young folk might call old-fashioned. Chivalry is not dead! A real man has manners, is polite, and considerate. He is honest and open and true to himself. He will fight for and defend the people that he loves. He is a hard-worker. He is not spiteful. He respects women and shows appreciation for all of his blessings. A real man is the provider of the family. He is strong, physically and mentally, and is never too proud to exhibit strong emotion. Once committed, he is faithful to only her. He does not watch porn or disrespect her in any other way. He helps with housework and is a role model for his children. A real man knows who he is, what he wants, and is grateful for what he has.
