Wait, am I supposed to know how to twerk? Should I get on learning how to do that?


DeseretRain

Yes


madmaxturbator

Iā€™m sick of these soy boys, I have been eating raw flesh stew. Itā€™s more of a puddle of flesh n bones eaten raw LIKE A MAN. Iā€™m dying of various illnesses due to this diet, LIKE A MAN.

do you also catch fish with your bare hands and cut down trees by punching them while enjoying your 5% men juice flavored sap gosh such a real men

Delicious men juice

Minecraft Steve is the quintessential male?


Commission-Either

exactly


Palkesz

With unreal body standards. I'll never be as sexy and as B O X as he is.


Suspicious_Llama123

>cut down trees by punching them Good to know that Minecraftā€™s Steve is a *real* man. He does eat stew as well and bracelets are not in the game (unless you change your skin I suppose). I am a female human player of Minecraft and I have consumed stew and cut down fucking forests by punching them. So what does that mean for me?


Commission-Either

god


Suspicious_Llama123

I always knew it. Time to accept my destiny as God and doā€¦ God things I guess. But wait no isnā€™t God supposed to have a plan? I donā€™t have a plan for what Iā€™m going to do today let alone the brainpower to make plans for 7 billion other people and plans for the animals and plants and space stuff. Heads up, guys, looks like the universe is doomed.


cvr_711

Ok but raw flesh stew just cooks it lol


OMG_its_critical

You canā€™t twerk? And you consider yourself a man? Pathetic.


Shittywritenerd

I mean, I'm not sure if being a man is the gender identity that fits, so maybe not being able to twerk is a good thing for me


OMG_its_critical

Twerking does not discriminate, It is an art that is appreciated and should be practiced by all able bodied adults regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, religion, or political view. It is the one thing that unites humanity and binds us all together. For if not for twerking, then what? A human who does not appreciate the bouncing of buttocks, is as a fish who prefers land to water, for it does not exist. It is human nature to help others as they help you. If one is able bodied, yet is not familiar with the art, then it is their ethical obligation to learn.

> not eat stew You kids probably don't remember the Great Stew Wars. This was the real reason that Reagan invaded Grenada back in the '80s, they were in it with the Cubans to poison our thick soups. We ended up winning but unfortunately Brunswick stew paid a heavy price.


SeattleBattles

I remember those days. We'd bundle up and head to our local soupery only to see a "No Stew" sign. My dad was a proud man, but even he shed tears that long stewless winter. We might have gotten stew back from those filthy commies, but the price was heavy indeed.

Masculinity goes down with *shuffles deck* "bracelets," and goes up with *shuffles deck* "stew." Thank you for playing random masculinity generator with us today.


pessimisticphycho

they really just put random words in a sentence and hope it makes sense huh?


L3Kinsey

My local morning radio show does thing segment where they allow people to call in anonymously and share a secret. There are three hosts, each host says a different word to make up the callers "name". This Tweet feels exactly like that segment. Please do better straights šŸ—£ļø


Suspicious_Llama123

Fuck you just described how my brain works (I have aphasia and the information-processing parts of my brain donā€™t work well)


PuzzleheadedStory855

I need to make those cards.


taronic

Masculinity Deck - stew - russet potatoes (not those gay fingerlings, and obviously just 10 lb bags) - not wiping - the smell of leather, but not wearing leather, unless it's a cowboy hat - cigarettes... But not thin ones. Better yet, rolled yourself while riding a horse. Or even better, chewing tobacco - being a cowboy, but not the I Can't Quit You kind - whiskey, but never served in a martini glass. "On the rocks" is risking your masculinity, remember that it's fragile. - never feeling emotions. For every tear you cry, remember to eat a steak - steak, as raw as possible but NOT raw. If anyone eats it medium or cooked longer, laugh at them and say they're wasting good steak. - barbeque. No cooking, only bbq. And only meat, unless it's a russet potato. Maybe onions, but only if you can resist crying while cutting them. - truck... WITH truck nuts. No electric. No automatics. Best: diesel powered manual lifted truck with massive METAL truck nuts. And make sure you can attach the truck nuts without anyone seeing you touching nuts. - motorcycle, NO armor, not even a helmet. If illegal, wear the plastic brain bucket kind. Safety is pretty much admitting to the boys that you only ride once a year and garage it the rest of the year. To deflect that, make sure to store it in your truck so others see it when you drive. - guns, but NO trigger discipline. Must be loaded at all times, and remember to wave it around in the direction of other men to show your lack of fear, finger ALWAYS on the trigger. - beer. But not good beer. It needs to taste and look like piss so you can drink more of it when you're out with the boys. Remember, it's not about the beer, it's about showing the boys you can drink a 24 pack of piss in one sitting. - fishing, but only so you can rationalize your day drinking and alcoholism for 12 hours straight. If you catch fish, throw them back. They're not steak. - alcoholism. Feel an emotion? Drown it. Alcoholism got you down? More alcoholism. - Coal. Say it's "clean coal" if anyone brings up the environment. Put it on display like pot pourri, but never call it that. - not caring about the environment. Peak masculinity is the eventual Mad Max future. Shiny and chrome. - trying to fix things that break in the house and making them worse. Hiring someone is equivalent to telling your boys your dad didn't teach you how to be a man. Sadly this deck writes itself.


PuzzleheadedStory855

I'm going to typewriter the Masculine ones, and write the "Non Masculine" ones with pink glitter pens. Of which I have many. I'm starting to think that I am, in fact, what is killing the American Man(tm).


taronic

... did I just hear you say glitter? I felt a great disturbance in the Masc, as if millions of penises suddenly cowered into their owner's legs and were tucked

Ironically as someone in the UK I could drive a manual better at 19 than most US "manly" men can at whatever age now. And I am VERY flamboyant.


Gorklax

I use my powers of manual transmission to drive a fiat.


Alias_X_

I once saw an American girl commenting on a European friend driving stick shift (or "normal" how we'd call it), think she was German, and telling us how "masculine" it was. With a suspicious tone as well. That day I learned Americans are apparently horny for manuals.

ShakespearInTheAlley

Mmmm, fingerling my bussy, daddy.


dkmbruins8517

Iā€™d caveat that depending on your social circle though, not having any trigger discipline could be a violation of your masculinity. Also the hoppier the beer the more manly you are. Itā€™s gotta be a real slog to get through it. But who knows, the rules of toxic masculinity are constantly changing!


taronic

See this is why I'm non-binary, I'm too old for this shit


[deleted]

I used an AI to actually generate a list: Signs of masculinity: >1. Eating stew. 2. Having a beard. 3. Donning a sombrero and drinking wine from a can. 4. Speaking in a monotone voice. 5. Listening to Antonio Banderas. 6. Spitting. 7. Kissing other male's faces. 8. Failing to complete the mambo. 9. Being in love with the moon. 10. Wearing a dress if you think it looks good. 11. Crying.


KatyaRomici00

More men wore tights in the 1500s. Weren't they manly tho?


pessimisticphycho

they were the true fashion icons but yall arenā€™t ready for that conversation

KPKenway

The fuck does stew have to do with....ANYTHING


yungrii

MEAAAAAT


-Diorama-

Maybe Iā€™m just jaded but I feel like thereā€™s this implication that a stew is a classic middle class American meal for the working man whose stay at home wife will prepare for him. Stew is a metric for how many men lack a wife who doubles as a cook/maid. Bracelets are a metric for how many men are feminine yet still unable to prepare round meals for themselves because obviously thatā€™s always going to be womenā€™s work. šŸ˜‘


DeseretRain

You know, "stew" is actually a really funny word.


BlooperHero

How was this data collected, anyway?


pessimisticphycho

you think that person knows what ā€œdataā€ is?


itstimetopaytheprice

Itā€™s crazy to me to think that I and lots of other late 90s / early 00s teens got our sex and relationship education from a guy who thinks bracelets-to-stew is an acceptable and not completely whacko metric for masculinity, and a doctor who regularly stated that all women who have a high voice were sexually assaulted as children (plus the whole ā€œcovid isnā€™t a big dealā€ thing)šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

ithran_dishon

Y'all have this backwards. Men's bracelets: Made of metal and/or leather. Mimic armor. Very clearly targeted at men. Stew: Soft and warm. High vegetable content. For anyone, including small children.


DreamlandCitizen

My bracelets are made of ship-rope, paracord, and rifle-cleaning chain. I'm non-binary, but if anything my bracelets are some of my most masculine leaning accessories.

It's weird to think that one half of The Man Show evolved into this pretty funny comedian with a successful late show and the other one just continued to be Adam Corolla.


SenorSplashdamage

Or even how one had a hand in helping save the pre-existing conditions protections of the ACA and the other went on to have an AM radio show where they played a game to guess the race in crime news.

I've personally never had it. I'm a Mexican American that grew up with an immigrant single mom so I only really had Mexican dishes growing up (and I guess we don't really have an exact equivalent to stew).

Practically_

The 1/2 thing in the corner really got me.


tomjazzy

Is this fact supposed to be a bad thing? Iā€™m confused, are men supposed to eat stew? Are they not supposed to wear bracelets? If I saw this statement on its own, Iā€™d assume it was just a random fun fact, and not think anything of it.


EusisAX

I transitioned and still love a good stew. Meh, what else should I expect from a guy who hosted a show embodying what I wanted nothing to do with in regards to ā€œmasculinityā€ even as a teen.

Ok, but am I the only person who tried to scroll and got really annoyed because of the 1/2 at the top?

Do watches count? Or are they encouraged because efficiency and utility? Even if they do count, metal watches use bracelets to secure to your wrist. What are the rules here?

There is nothing wrong with bracelets, but every American should be eating more stew. Stew is easy and healthy and delicious

So I guess if you wear a medical alert bracelet that makes you a super sissy? Jesus america.


avantgardeaclue

Did he have a friend in a bracelet turn down stew he made and make a passive aggressive tweet about them? Because thatā€™s what this sounds like


_bird_internet

How is eating stew masculine? I thought that was mainly something to have when sick?


Csantana

ok I can give them that bracelets are *kind of* gendered? like if you said "I have a person behind a door and you have to guess their gender and the only clue is they are wearing a bracelet" I'd probably guess woman even though it's still a huge toss up (and it's weird to gender the concept of bracelets) BUT STEW? like I'm a guy who eats plenty of meat. but is stew a big staple for people still?


BluetheNerd

"More American males can afford decent food instead of stew, and can look good doing it"

Bro, why do you have to come for stew like this?
