How do you define masculinity?

[Ric Flair]

Is it their not s#!tty clothing that convinces you they can't "get the job done", or is it that they remind you too much of women?

Guys who can get things done rarely look like transsexual prostitutes. I’ve know some plumbers, electricians, and mechanics. Not a single one wears bedazzled spandex leggings.

You're just ignorant.

One of the best welders I know would go home and dress as a woman and wear makeup.

Weird. His ability to do skilled work was completely separate from what he did in other parts of his life. It's like human beings are diverse and complex. /s

Imagine that. 

Strange concept.

Good for him. And the Village People had a real sailor. So what.

It's the metro more than the sexual. A lot of urban dwellers who rent apartments and eat out often never pursue the DIY thing.

I lived in San Francisco for 15 years, and I don't recall bedazzled spandex leggings being anyone's thing. So I guess we run in different circles.

I thought the point of the thread was to define what is and isn't masculine. If you think assless leather chaps are masculine, you're both entitled to your opinion and simply wrong.

I'm all about disagreement here. But if you mock Ric Flair again, so help me, I see a Figure Four Leglock in your future.

In other words, your previous comment is BS. 

Thanks for playing.

Yawn. Your comment is the opposite of masculine.

 

[zoogs]

Oh, no, BRB. What will you do now.

 

[Ric Flair]

Oh, no, BRB. What will you do now.

My guess is it will involve some gentle weeping and half a pint or so of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream.

Real men aren't so worried about whether they're being masculine or not -- or whether other men are.

This is a toxicity that permeates our culture and is to the detriment of all of us, but especially to the men who are caught up in it. Know that there's a less hateful way of life, and you don't have to be this way.
