As a guy, real masculinity is being comfortable with your gender and not becoming uncomfortable because someone else expresses theirs.

Guys, we're workers, and problem solvers. We're also so many more things like fathers, sons, brothers and friends. Masculinity as a concept is outdated. Adapt, overcome, persevere. That's all you need.

Anyone telling you that you're unmanly because you have, or don't have something, or because you do, or don't do something, is either a fool, or selling you something.

Be a man, ignore their bullshit.

I am a man, therefore everything I do is masculine.

You know the most masculine activity I can think of? Going to the beach and digging a hole in the sand.

[-] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 6 points 3 days ago

As a guy, I would like to thank you for this advise.

A man's music collection should consist of classic rock, country and blues

Does this give anyone else boomer vibes? Also, I suspect this is trying to invoke the Progressive Rock of the 1970s (Kansas, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Supertramp, etc.) and not Buddy Holly, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin or, you know, Elvis, The Beatles and the Rolling Stones

But then my man card expired in the early 1990s.

I love how the internet came together in the last few years and discovered that most men aren't washing their asses properly, despite it being made common knowledge by the classic MadTV sketch where Michael McDonald's friends are all getting divorced and his wife divorces him because he and his guy friends don't wipe their asses.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Wait but how do you wash your ass the wrong way?

I can see not the best way but as long as there's soap and water involved wrong seems harsh. So how badly do you have to fuck it up to be wrong?

[-] c0smokram3r@midwest.social 85 points 4 days ago

THE official MAN CARD 😆

[-] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 70 points 4 days ago

And it's a bottle opener

Because nothing screams manly like alcoholism

[-] Anivia@feddit.org 25 points 3 days ago

If you need a bottle opener to open a bottle you aren't alcoholic

I honestly can't tell if this website is being ironic

[-] drosophila@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 days ago

That's a very dumb name, but I really like the simple design and earth tone color of the bar itself.

On the other hand I don't think I'd like to smell like beer.

My birth certificate is proof enough that I'm a man. Now give me my strawberry Herbal Essences! 💪😡

Ohhhh YEEEEES...

Don't forget your tactical Christmas stocking this holiday season! 💪

[-] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 days ago

The whole tactical-style-for-not-tactical-thing makes me rage. Not because it exists, but because it's been picked up by the wrong demographic.

That sort of thing should belong to the realm of the ironic, and be worn by the person who has a bad joke to go with it.

Tactical baby carrier should be for the fun dad who uses it to make jokes about how you otherwise might notice the baby, and not the fragile guy who needs a shield to defend his masculinity in the face of raising his children.

It's like so much of these things started as a gag, and then got picked up by people who aren't in on the joke.

They do the same exact thing in the pink aisle in the supermarket.

By making everything more so called feminine, and now more so called masculine, companies realized they can charge a premium and people will fall for the packaging gimmick.

That’s all I think it is.

I do like the man card bottle opener though. Would be a fun thing to bring to parties and holiday gatherings.

So a real man let their choice dominated by another man?

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

Real men link up to the hive mind.

Can’t stand any of these masculinity targeted products. Also don’t flush any product down the toilet other than toilet paper. Those wipes clog sewers.

Man facts:

I listen to eurobeat and hard style

[-] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Its quite the norm in parts of Europe.

Had it been hard-core (from hell) i may have judged you but, even then, only as an xtc fiend.

For anyone curious, try dj mad dog : reset

Fair warning, it might be jarring on any mellow you might have going on. Eventually, when you've been raving long enough, you might find that, from time to time, you'll need sounds from the bowels of hell at 200 bpm just to feel something.

[-] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Speedcore my beloved.

Need me some good ol high bpm music from time to time

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

No one would blink an eye at a country rock cover of, "Gas gas gas". Hell they'd prob think the original was the knockoff.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

“A man’s music collection should consist out of classic rock and country. …… oh yeah and also blues. See we ain’t racist we added black music”

Lol bet they mean Eric “non-whites should be deported” Clapton and not BB King.

[-] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 28 points 3 days ago

Is there anything more manly than washing clothes?

Being a man is when you conform your freedom of choice to one of a few acceptable choices.

Expressing yourself, showing who you really, standing up to peer pressure is for pussies, you wouldn't want to risk people accidentally mistaking you with them sexually liberated folks by admitting you like electro-swing over country.

Only classic rock, country, and blues are manly? I didn't know metal, rap, and military marches were for little girls

[-] GiantChickDicks@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 days ago

It's a slippery slope. I heard if you listen to too many sea shanties you will start aggressively lactating.

Ska and punk are part of the woke trans agenda

Ska is what plays in a 10 year old boys head when he gets extra mozzarella sticks.

Actually the woke and trans movements are emergences of what Ska and Punk was doing decades ago.

I saw MAN CARD in the thumbnail and legitimately thought it said MAN CHILD and didn’t even question it.

classic rock, country, and blues

Metal is for sissies, I guess.

sigh I'll get the socks.

Man card bottle opener

lol he has to use a special tool to open his bottles. Table edge is right there tough guy... or literally any hard object you can get about an inch of leverage with (so not your dick ayo), Belt buckle is possible, doesn't even have to be a special one. Keys, a dollar bill, lighter, principle doesn't change too much between them. Hell even your wedding ring... oh... awkward.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

If you're really willing to take a risk, you can do it with your teeth. I wouldn't recommend doing this, but I would recommend telling these people it's "manly" to do so.
