    A man’s music collection should consist of classic rock, country and blues

    Does this give anyone else boomer vibes? Also, I suspect this is trying to invoke the Progressive Rock of the 1970s (Kansas, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, Supertramp, etc.) and not Buddy Holly, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin or, you know, Elvis, The Beatles and the Rolling Stones

    But then my man card expired in the early 1990s.

    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 Masculinity as a concept is outdated.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.

    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

    They do the same exact thing in the pink aisle in the supermarket.

    By making everything more so called feminine, and now more so called masculine, companies realized they can charge a premium and people will fall for the packaging gimmick.

    That’s all I think it is.

    I do like the man card bottle opener though. Would be a fun thing to bring to parties and holiday gatherings.

      A bottle opener in your wallet sounds pretty dope, ngl. Then again, not having a multi-tool on your belt is a huge L for anyone that claims to be rugged and handy.

    “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”

      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.

      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.

        I haven’t bought beer scented soap from duke cannon but I have bought their solid cologne bars when I was looking for more sustainable alternatives to regular cologne. They smell decent and the scent lasts. The over the top masculine branding is cringe af though

    Can’t stand any of these masculinity targeted products. Also don’t flush any product down the toilet other than toilet paper. Those wipes clog sewers.

        According to my proctologist, we Americans are cruel to our butts with over-use of toilet paper.

        Never wipe but dab. Use a bidet. Start with a travel bidet, which is $5-$20, and you can fill them with warm water. Rinse liberally and dab, repeat until clean.

        Don’t worry about manliness. Being nice to your hemorrhoids is the adult thing to do.

        Dude, bidets and ass showers in combination with shaved butthole is a hygienic must for hairy folks.

        Dingleberry cultivation is no involuntary hobby anyone should have.
