    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.

        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.

      Lol it will also gain them votes. There are plenty of foolish men that use porn out of habit and they believe without it they could be better men. Banning it seems like a reasonable way to get what they think they need. They will realize far too late that they’re just shitty human beings that no one wants.

      And then they’ll get mad again.

      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.

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