    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 Masculinity as a concept is outdated.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 saw MAN CARD in the thumbnail and legitimately thought it said MAN CHILD and didn’t even question it.

      Duke Cannon has some cringe to it, but they are surprisingly crunchy when it comes to the ingredients they use in things, including the aluminum-free deodorant that I like.

      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.

        If you like earth tone soaps and are particular about scents, I’ve learned that making your own soap is pretty easy. I made my first batch a year ago and haven’t looked back.

        Bought beer shampoo for my dad once as part of a joke gift. It did not smell like beer, but did not smell good either.

    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.

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

      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.

        It still can be. The fun dad with tactical gear will reveal his fun-ness quickly enough. If the baby’s binky is tactical black, but the multi-tool is Barbie™ pink, it might be a clue.

          Heh, very true. It just messes up the first impression which is where the clothing jokes have the best impact. Never as fun if people take time to get to know you before getting the joke your appearance made.

    “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.

    These dudes are so uptight about masculinity. They could really use a prostate massage.
