He’s eating it with a spoon so no one can say he eats bananas for the shape
My daughters and I (and my son, and my wife) have been to more than 50 concerts together. Got another on December 5th: 12 of us.
We love music. And one another.You have 10 daughters and one son?
12 - 3 = 9
Ay yi yes I need a cup of coffee.
Man card please
If you’re a 40 year old grown ass adult you can do whatever the fuck you like. Man cards are for insecure idiots who need reassurance.
I don’t know how to tell you this but man cards aren’t real. If you have purchased a man care you have been a victim of fraud 😔
Metaphorical man cards are for insecure idiots who need reassurance.
I mean…maybe the two guys being talked about are just gay.
You don’t have to give up your man card if you’re gay, just if you’re the wrong kind of gaytm

Only having manbabies with them
Doing it with two men.
There’s a lot of gay ways to eat a banana…
But I can’t imagine a gayer way someone would legitimately try to eat a banana than with a spoon.
Like, being ridiculous, sure, chopsticks. But maybe doing this but mashing it up with a bobba straw till it was a smoothie and drinking it
What about eating it like this?
He could by two handing that banna shoving into the back of his throat until his eyes water and that is still a straighter way to eat a banana
You still gotta suck that Boba straw though.

I think it’s so funny that all these toxic masculinity types all pay for a little blue participation trophy
I went to a Lourde concert.
Because Run the Jewels was opening.
What now?
Lorde and RTJ are both great. If you enjoyed Lorde but were afraid to admit it, that’d be the only thing revoking your man card.
I did actually really enjoy Lourde! I wasn’t too sure what to expect TBH, I knew Royals and I knew the South Park parody, but that was it going in. She’s great!
If you are a man over 40 attending a Taylor Swift concert it’s highly possible you have a teenage daughter.
Caring for your kids interests is GAY men!

My brother actually gets this a lot from other fathers. They apparently can’t comprehend a world where a man with two daughters might actually give a shit about what their daughters like to do, and take an active interest in those things.
As someone whose father didn’t give a shit about his daughter, please tell your brother he is a kick ass dude and give him a hug from this internet stranger.
Having seen how little attention other fathers pay their own kids at those fathers-visit-school events, they absolutely don’t. They barely even notice their boys.
Our local Scout troop closed in part, I’m told, because parents treated it more like a daycare for a few hours rather than something to be involved in and do WITH their kids. The troop felt they were no longer fulfilling their mission and decided to dissolve.
We weren’t involved in the troop at all but I still found that news really disappointing. I’m a busy guy but I still try to make time for my kids.
A scout troop cannot exist without parent involvement. The national organization doesn’t run them, each troop/pack is a self organizing group not only made up entirely of parent volunteers, but a rotating group as the children age out.
The fact that scouts has exists in this form for decades indicates this is a new problem.
Turns out Gen X and millennials are more disengaged than their boomer parents. At least in terms of the type of families who typically participate in scouts.
This makes me think about my ex-wife, who made very little attempt at giving a shit about what our son was into, because that was just stupid boy stuff, then couldn’t understand why they weren’t all that close.
I didn’t really care all that much about half the stuff he was into, but I at least made an effort to meet him on his level, and wouldn’t you know, our relationship is great.
Turned mine in long ago, I don’t like beer and sports.
How did “watching other people exercise, competitively, while you stuff your face with excessive calories while sitting on a couch” become a"manly" activity
That portrayal you describe is marketing and nothing more. It’s similar to hating Christmas because you don’t like the Hallmark Channel. Many, many, many, many women watch sports and if you go to a game it’s about half women. Watching sports is and has always been a family activity.
Different cultures and groups do sports differently. There are “ultras” supporter groups for soccer / futbol in the world that are paramilitary organizations, or have strong gang affiliations, and almost everybody in those groups is male. But, even when you consider something more sedate like baseball, audiences are still mostly male.
YouGov recently did a study and found that men are almost twice as likely to have watched a men’s sport than women, and men are even the bigger audience when it comes to watching women’s sports.
As for in-person sports, I’ve never been to a professional sporting event where half the audience was women. It’s never 100% men, but it’s always over 50%.
I never had one - and not liking beer and sports might’ve played a role in that. Never missed it either. Who issues those man cards anyhow?
It’s fine. I’ve got plenty of man cards in my back pockets.
you get a man card, you get a man card… everyone gets a man card!
What an ALPHA manly man with hardworking man-hands!
…where did his chin go though?

Jason just needs clarification
My work has guys who have really high toxic masculinity. Off the top of my head, some of the things they complain about not being man enough are: umbrellas, gluten free, and mushrooms
I can hear the mongoloids now…
Hurr hurr, mushroom looks like dick. U ghey.
Glad I left the presence of that insufferable bullshit when I left high school. That really sucks you have to listen to that garbage
I can understand (NOT AGREE) how umbrellas and gluten free fit into their twisted view on what is ‘manly’; using external sources to cope with difficulties. But mushrooms? The fuck? Just man up and eat them, they’re delicious shakemysmheadmh
Looks like their micropeens
Mushrooms look too phallic to put it in a man’s mouth
I bet they’re the sort of guys who don’t wash their ass because “that’s gayyy”.
TBH I sometimes think that I’ll be the person who stops bathing and brushing teeth by 40.
Bruh. Eww. Don’t do that.
I hereby dub thee asmonold.
The umbrella one always cracks me up. Lookin at these wet fools in the rain when I’m nice and dry. Such a strange hill to die on.
I personally don’t use umbrellas cause I just put up the hoodie I wear and walk around like normal. But yeah, it has nothing to do with masculinity
I like the fact that the umbrella maintains visibility.
Rain?
I’m just here shoving them up my ass.
Yup, got em here too. We get provided either lanyards or extendable clips for our badges at work. Overheard a group of contractors saying wearing the clips made you gay. Its the dumbest shit I’ve heard. How can wearing an ID badge be anything?
Wearing the clip on your pants makes way more sense since the badge readers are all at waist height.
So where do they put their badges? Up their asses?
I’m fine with anyone saying “surrender your man card”. It lets me know I can safely ignore this moron; they have nothing of value to add to any conversation.
Leave him be - one of the turly few allies transgirls have. xD
I am fine with Dr Cox saying it and that’s about it
Perry would have been sued into unemployment so many times over, and he’d’ve deserved it.
There is value hidden in there, they are saying they need a card to feel like a man. No card exists, so they have not and never feel like a man. Really only useful if you want to manipulate them.
Gotta love when they loudly proclaim they are a fucking moron not worth your time.
plus I dropped it with my Gay Card back in '93
I’m pretty sure taking your daughter to a Taylor swift concert is just good parenting
This US thing baffles me. It goes “whoa, a man cannot possibly buy tampons, or hold his friends handbag, or whatever…” because some braindead six year old idiot character out of Beavis and Butthead might magically pop out of thin air and guffaw “Haha, tampons!”, which is somehow, potentially terminally embarassing and will end your public life.
Its not a US thing. Its a loser thing. This brand of machismo is globally available.
While it’s globally available, it’s really much much much more prevalent in the US. And it has been for, litterally, decades. Fourty years ago, a US girlfriend was already complaining about it, and I didn’t understand what it was about (Yes, I might be older than you are). It’s also completely obvious in US mass media.
It really isn’t, BUT American media is a power house globally and makes many of our cultural events more prevalent than reality. If you travel the world, you’ll find things far worse in India, Brazil, Mexico, and really most non-first world countries. I mean theyre so afraid of homosexualty in parts of the world they consider you a demon and kill you.
One of the reasons you hear about it in the USA is that its considered newsworthy. If it was as common as you were implying it would be like reporting on the prevalence of turkey sandwiches for lunch. We dont eat them all the time but its not weird or rare.
Modern men are engaged with their children of both genders and youtube has further propped up the narrative that being a good father means doing so at only a positive reflection of your masculinity.
It’s also, because you bathe in it, that you don’t realise how utterly different the US is in so many ways from the rest of the werstern world. No, really.
From the innumerable religious sects, the numerous racial things, the bizarre poliltics, the relationship to the body (like the ritual cock cutting to avoid masturbation, or the fear of areolas), the extremely strict gendered roles (see above), the love of money (which, admittedly, was kind of a global thing, until it became Gelt Uber Alles! and fucked up your whole society, even though it was the one that started with the most progress for the working class, inspiring people everywhere else… what the fuck happened?).
And that’s probably just scratching the surface. Of course, you can start to find some of this here and there in other “western” countries nowadays. And you can find more of it in “nonaligned” countries.
That’s not the point though. What I meant to say is that the US mindset is on average very different from that of the other western countries when you start to dig a bit (and yes, of course you’ll find lots of exceptions). So the rise of something weird in the US isn’t really surprising. Although I would have expected something more explicitly religious than a rapist paedophile.
I’ve travelled and it seems to me like every country has their own insecurities when it comes to gender roles. Like, in some countries they have hangups about men in the kitchen. But, those same countries don’t have hangups about men dancing that the US sometimes does. Other countries have hangups about hairstyles or shoes, but it’s ok for men to show physical affection by hugging or holding hands.
I mean theyre so afraid of homosexualty in parts of the world they consider you a demon and kill you.
A thing that also happened (and is probably still happening) in parts of the US.
