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.

Damn, well, guess I'm a transwoman now.

And you gotta get that mid-sack seam ironed out. It's unbecoming.

I think putting a hot iron on your genitals would make it unbecoming regardless.

Doesn't need to be hot, if you swing hard enough.

That's why you do your friend's. Teamwork makes the dream work.

Whew, that sounds like the proud boys dildo video.

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.

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.

I welcome them to try. It is just going to lose them votes. Proceed, please.

That just reminded me of Obama's "Please proceed, Governor." God damn that was sick at the time.

Anything can be addictive, but if gambling is legal I see no reason porn shouldn't be also.

Alcohol is obviously addictive and very bad for you. We saw how well that went when we banned it...

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

RIP my homies in Virginia. They got a taste of this first

NoVa and Norfolk really need to break away from the rest of that redneck shithole.

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.

xc2215x@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

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

Bwahhahahahahaha.

Dumbasses, they wish.
