(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Male is a sex that denotes an animal which produces sperm cells in order to reproduce. (The sperm is defined as the smaller gamete). The male is one half of a heterogamous reproduction system, where the female is the other half.'Male' and 'female' designate reproductive structures in plants, so the concept is not just limited to animals.
Male or Masculine is a grammatical gender in many languages.
A man is a male human being.
In most cultures, men are expected to conform to a standard male gender role.
In hardware and electronics, a male connector is a fixture, such as a plug, which is designed to be inserted into a corresponding (female) fitting. (See gender changer.)

This article concerns how a man differs from women, or is conventionally expected to.
For other meanings of man, Man, or MAN, see Man (disambiguation).' A man is an adult, male human. The irregular plural is men.
Sex
In terms of sex, men have various sexual characteristics that differentiate them from women. In men, the sex organs are involved in the reproductive system, whereas the secondary sex characteristics are involved in attracting a mate or in defeating rivals. Men have mainly external sex organs. The study of male reproduction and associated organs is called andrology.
In general, men suffer from the same illnesses as women, however there are some sex-related illnesses that occur only or more frequently in men.
Gender Roles
In terms of gender, men differ from women by a variety of behaviours.
- Men, considered as a group, are often considered to be more aggressive than women. However, in interpersonal relationships, most research has found that men and women are equally aggressive. Men do tend to be more aggressive outside of the home.
- In modern western society, few wear cosmetics or clothing generally associated with female gender roles. (Doing so is known as cross-dressing, and is generally stigmatised).

John Locke | 1690 | In those viviparous animals which feed on grass, the conjunction between male and female lasts no longer than the very act of copulation; because the teat of the dam being sufficient to nourish the young, till it be able to feed on grass, the male only begets, but concerns not himself for the female or young, to whose sustenance he can contribute nothing.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | DOG, n. A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world's worship. This Divine Being in some of his smaller and silkier incarnations takes, in the affection of Woman, the place to which there is no human male aspirant. The Dog is a survival -- an anachronism. He toils not, neither does he spin, yet Solomon in all his glory never lay upon a door-mat all day long, sun-soaked and fly-fed and fat, while his master worked for the means wherewith to purchase the idle wag of the Solomonic tail, seasoned with a look of tolerant recognition. |
