He’s eating it with a spoon so no one can say he eats bananas for the shape
Depends. Is he over 40?
What does this “surrender your man card” even mean? I must transition to be a woman? So much for "protecting people from being “force-transed” for showing even the slightest form of gender-nonconformity!
I’m fine with anyone saying “surrender your man card”. It lets me know I can safely ignore this moron; they have nothing of value to add to any conversation.
I am fine with Dr Cox saying it and that’s about it
Leave him be - one of the turly few allies transgirls have. xD
plus I dropped it with my Gay Card back in '93
Take it, no giving backsies!
My daughters and I (and my son, and my wife) have been to more than 50 concerts together. Got another on December 5th: 12 of us.
We love music. And one another.Man card please
I am always fascinated how the man who is strong enough in his convictions to do whatever the hell he wants is considered the “weak” one whereas the “macho” shit is afraid of his own shadow and that some other man may not like what he’s doing.
The manliest thing a man can do is whatever the hell he wants.
In the 90s, especially in high school environments, homophobia wasn’t just common, it was socially reinforced. Gay was used as an insult, casually and constantly. People rarely questioned it. Teachers didn’t intervene unless things turned violent, and even then, the issue addressed was the aggression, never the prejudice. It was an era when appearing different, even slightly, could make you a target. Most people avoided standing out if they could help it.
During that time my grandma gave me a pink terrycloth nightgown. On her it was a nightgown, but on me it fit more like a long shirt. I thought it was amusing and comfortable, so I wore it regularly without giving it much weight.
Each time someone hurled gay slurs at me, I replied, “I’m secure enough not to care what other people think. Can you say the same?” They usually followed up with more immature remarks, which I’d call out too. The problem wasn’t what I wore, it was that I wasn’t afraid to wear it.
Because it’s specific types of strength that are part of traditional masculinity, not any and all types.
These things are mostly arbitrary, right? There doesn’t have to be some simple, overarching principle. Masculinity can be any combination of things, no matter how difficult it is to summarise them.
I also think though that there’s a real desire amongst progressives to find “contradictions” to “prove” that is bullshit. So they imagine that this guy who said that something is not manly is “afraid of his own shadow” when they have no reason to believe that. He’s probably incredibly confident in his masculinity but he also believes that masculinity is something worth “enforcing”.
We haven’t seen him worry that he might not meet the standard, only be part of enforcing it. It’s pretty silly to think that the latter implies the former
Only those macho dudes think that though. Literally everyone else know the truth.
I feel like it’s the “loudest voice in the room” effect. There’s so many insecure men that security is rarely visible and thus ostracized as otherly.
The most ridiculous thing in this image is someone calling himself “Gunther Eagleman”…
Maybe Beefy McSlabchest was already taken.

It’s like a name that 80s cocaine-addled Stephen King would have come up with.

Yes, he’s serious. I present: Ray Comfort
I remember when I first realized that Flat Earthers were serious. For a couple of years after hearing about them, I assumed it was satire. Something in me broke then, the realization that not only a few people, but many people were really that stupid. It’s only gotten worse since.
On the upside, my estimation of my own intelligence went from “average” to “above average”. And, I’m fucking stupid.
[holds banana upside down] Now if you look at the top of the banana …
These people must be incredibly insecure in their own sexuality.
Frankly, I think this guy is just oblivious to the innuendo.
Creationism, otoh…
If you are a man over 40 attending a Taylor Swift concert it’s highly possible you have a teenage daughter.
Caring for your kids interests is GAY men!
-twitter blue user & divorced twice
My brother actually gets this a lot from other fathers. They apparently can’t comprehend a world where a man with two daughters might actually give a shit about what their daughters like to do, and take an active interest in those things.
As someone whose father didn’t give a shit about his daughter, please tell your brother he is a kick ass dude and give him a hug from this internet stranger.
Our local Scout troop closed in part, I’m told, because parents treated it more like a daycare for a few hours rather than something to be involved in and do WITH their kids. The troop felt they were no longer fulfilling their mission and decided to dissolve.
We weren’t involved in the troop at all but I still found that news really disappointing. I’m a busy guy but I still try to make time for my kids.
Having seen how little attention other fathers pay their own kids at those fathers-visit-school events, they absolutely don’t. They barely even notice their boys.
I think it’s so funny that these toxic masculinity types all pay for a little blue participation trophy
I thought long and hard about what it would mean to me if someone called me “not a man” for anything I do and I came to the following conclusion: nothing. I can do all the same things with or without the label “man”. Funny.
From the other side, I got told I was “unladylike” many times and that never made me change.
There’s a lot of gay ways to eat a banana…
But I can’t imagine a gayer way someone would legitimately try to eat a banana than with a spoon.
Like, being ridiculous, sure, chopsticks. But maybe doing this but mashing it up with a bobba straw till it was a smoothie and drinking it
What about eating it like this?
You still gotta suck that Boba straw though.

Friendly reminder that vast majority of people are hiding their true identity out of shame and will play a “tough” character to compesate their “glass persona”. But keep in mind that looking tough is not the same as actually being tough, this is what these actors dont understand until they harass a guy who is crazier than them and now they are in a hospital.
I have seen these cucks personally, they are midwits and will play a volatile character to “impress” or “scare” you (does not work with me lol), they believe showing “manly” behavior will make them atrractive to women but women would rather chose to be near me instead of them everytime they are present (and I am an ugly guy lol). I say that from experience 💀.
Turned mine in long ago, I don’t like beer and sports.
How did “watching other people exercise, competitively, while you stuff your face with excessive calories while sitting on a couch” become a"manly" activity
That portrayal you describe is marketing and nothing more. It’s similar to hating Christmas because you don’t like the Hallmark Channel. Many, many, many, many women watch sports and if you go to a game it’s about half women. Watching sports is and has always been a family activity.
I never had one - and not liking beer and sports might’ve played a role in that. Never missed it either. Who issues those man cards anyhow?
I mean…maybe the two guys being talked about are just gay.
And what is manlier than doing it with another man?
Doing it with two men.
Only having manbabies with them
You don’t have to give up your man card if you’re gay, just if you’re the wrong kind of gaytm
