    I don’t even know what the fuck ‘masculinity’ means. Does it mean being aggressive, talking about sports and roughhousing with your friends? Because I don’t do any of those things, but I still think of myself as a man.

    A few hundred years ago, ‘masculinity’ included wearing makeup, a powdered wig and tights.

    It’s all nonsense.

      Masculinity is measured by

      • how tanned one’s nutsack is from baseline
      • how much one cares about beer and candy advertising and the sexiness therein
      • how much one beats and berates children
      • 'Murica coefficient x ignorant loudmouth asshole variable

      At least that’s what I learned from Tucker.

        Every time a vehicle with an obnoxiously loud engine goes by, I say to my partner, “There goes a cool guy.” It’s become an in-joke for us.

          See. We just ask how many gallons per foot it gets (if a truck) or committing on how impressive their speaker system is.

      If you want to hear more about the history of this kind of ‘masculinity thumping,’ We’re In Hell on youtube just uploaded a banger.

        Oh, man, I want a world where well-dressed mobsters are killing each other in the streets because of porn.

      Yeah, no surprise, it literally has no impact on anything I do. I’ve encountered it maybe like once, ever, because most websites don’t even bother.

    There are some porn videos that cross the line but I do not think it should all or mostly be banned.
