0 Views

There’s nothing funnier or sadder on this world than a fragile man. I don’t imply a delicate man, or a medically delicate man. I imply a man who feels he’s continually combating for his life to keep up some form of robust man standing. It’s unhappy as a result of, gosh, what an terrible solution to dwell. But it surely’s humorous as a result of these guys are most of the time — it should be mentioned — trash, and watching them twist themselves into pretzels for essentially the most ridiculous causes is entertaining. Take, for instance, a current publish on r/AskReddit asking “what’s essentially the most ridiculous factor you heard a person refuse to do as a result of it was “too female” or ‘for women’?” And boy howdy did the toxic masculinity come rolling in…

Some individuals get offended once they hear the time period “poisonous masculinity.”

“So it’s poisonous to be masculine?” they’ll ask indignantly. And… no. That’s not how adjectives work.

Masculinity itself isn’t poisonous by itself: that’s why we’ve to add the phrase “poisonous” so you recognize what we’re speaking about. It’s like, if I mentioned “These are toxic flowers,” would you assume I meant all flowers are toxic? Clearly not. It’s the identical factor with poisonous masculinity.

And when poisonous masculinity rears its ugly, unmoisturized head? It’s dangerous… but in addition, like, tragically humorous. The Reddit publish spawned greater than 11,000 feedback. Right here have been a number of the extra unhinged solutions…

Save one other man’s life…

“I labored in a hospital setting, however within the company workplace. We did not work with the sufferers however we needed to be skilled on security procedures and the completely different hospital codes. My boss, who was a pleasant man in any other case, mentioned he would refuse to present CPR to a different man in an emergency /life or loss of life state of affairs and I assumed it was fully ridiculous.”

Fundamental hair care & hygiene

“Use conditioner in his hair. His actually lengthy, dry as fuck hair.”

“[Use] face wash and a loofa. He mentioned he was a person he doesn’t use shit like that. I used to be like rattling you’re actually that fragile: it’s cleaning soap.”

“Skincare. I dated somebody that labored building outside. An actual beer ingesting, cigar smoking man’s man. His pores and skin was turning into leather-based however he refused to moisturize or clear it correctly. Someday I forcefully carried out an at house self-care spa day on him – mud masks, exfoliation, cleanse, sheet masks, serums, chilly eye packs, moisturizer. He had half of Sephora on his face. Afterwards he was radiant and mentioned he felt fairly and favored how good it smelled. They do not know till they know!”

Be close to something pink

“[My father-in-law didn’t] let his spouse use a pink towel on his sons.”

“We have been tenting with a gaggle of buddies and my good friend’s small son was thirsty very first thing within the morning, however we hadn’t achieved dishes but so we solely had three pink cups obtainable. My good friend would not enable his son to drink water from a pink cup so as an alternative he let his son be thirsty.”

Be close to tampons or pads

“My brother-in-law refused to purchase female hygiene merchandise for his spouse. I by no means understood that. I at all times purchased them for my spouse I imply it is apparent they don’t seem to be for me.”

Sadly, and maybe unsurprisingly, this got here up quite a bit.

Eat the next meals…

Yogurt (“Too homosexual for me.”)
Fruity drinks
Quiche (“He referred to as it ‘girly breakfast.’”)
Chickpeas
Bananas (“Too phallic.”)
Ice cream cones (Ditto.)
Donuts with sprinkles on them
Soup
Greens (“Greens are for ladies.”)
Water (“He mentioned he ‘doesn’t must drink water, males simply robust it out.’” Apparently hyrdration is for the women and the gays…)

Carry or maintain the next…

An umbrella (this got here up weirdly quite a bit)
Their spouse or girlfriend’s purse
Cats (“He didn’t wanna take his girlfriend’s cat to the vet trigger a person holding a cat is female.”)
His personal baby in public (apparently that is ladies’s work)

Change diapers

“My boss at a earlier job did not perceive why none of his three youngsters would converse to him. Then after a coworker returned from paternity depart he proudly proclaimed that he had by no means modified a diaper in his life ‘as a result of it was ladies’s work’ and I am guessing that is the place it began.”

That is one other one which got here up a complete bunch…

Praise a lady

“My good friend’s husband gained’t praise her look as a result of ‘it’s homosexual to note little shit like that a couple of lady’…. Fellas is it homosexual to love ladies?”
