A real hetero cis-man doesn’t need a subjugate women in order to protect his fragile ego. He is a capable, involved father. He takes responsibility for his own life and doesn’t need a mommy to take care of him. He doesn’t claim ownership of women’s bodies. He at least does his own fucking chores, like an adult. He develops his own passions and skills, always seeking to improve himself and grow. He is emotionally open, vulnerable and able to demonstrate compassion and kindness towards others. He values people over things. He doesn’t give credit to an old man in the sky for his successes and failures. He is an ally who defends the vulnerable, like our queer allies.

People worried about anyone being "masculine enough" just seems ridiculous and pathetic to me. It's the whole concept of building your identity around other people's expectations that is wrong. Just be yourself.

A Real Man decides what kind of man he wants to be without concern for the opinion of macho clowns.

Dems always were the masculine party, full of workers and union members. It was the Republicans who were the weak, suit-wearing nerds.

That's one reason why I've always seen these tough-talking MAGAs as such phonies. In a fight, every one of those girlie men would drop to their knees and beg for mercy before the first punch. Remember how brave Hawley and Markwayne were on Jan 6?

MAGAs are pussies.

This is stupid.

Poor word choice. It's Machismo, not Bravado.

Ultimately, positive masculinity is the same thing as positive femininity. They are both about being a good person, helping others, and never being afraid of what other people might think of your behavior. They can be expressed in many different ways, but the principles are the same. There is just positive humanity.

God, can we just fucking not? Can we not go back to fucking insulting each other's fucking T levels and genitals?

All any of this shit is going to do is convince the next generation of men that there is a "war on men".

Fuck yeah I'm a Nacho man! Hamburger, chicken, steak, pork you put it on and I'll eat it! Onions, Black olives, jalapenos, some guac and sour cream. Don't forget the cheese! And the salsa oh yeah always get a good salsa. And beans they just add that right texture you know what I mean? Mmm nachos.

I doubt these men they're trying to court will respond well to even more shaming strategies. Why is having policies that help them such an unappealing option?

No one likes the democrats and that hasn't changed. They will win more elections because their opponents lost them, people are voting against the republicans.

Being republican light is not being popular, it's not appealing to conservatives, it just makes them look like cynical hacks that are playing us.

That is all they are doing here, copying the republicans again, because it's worked so well before. Meanwhile fucking everyone is on board wtih universal medicine but don't mention that you worthless pieces of fucking shit (the dem establishment being said pieces of shit.)

This feels the same as a Republican appealing to the left by embracing therapy and wearing a man bun.

Has anyone tried incorporating pyrotechnics at their campaign rallies?

I'm pretty sure that if you awe them with the gift of fire, thump your chest, spout some superstitious nonsense, and distract them with something shiny, Americans will just start worshipping you as a god.

Sounds like they want loose again

What makes a real man?

A pair of testicles?

I've heard food responses from Abdul on masculinity so I think most candidates have a healthy idea of masculinity, but that is of course different when you're throwing jabs at the other opponent who believes things like "beta" and "woke" are insults to begin with.

Call me beta all day long, I never care whatsoever lol. But they sure do.
