    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.

      Masculinity means having the biggest pickup in the neighborhood, duh…

        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.
