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 Masculinity as a concept is outdated.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.

I am a man, therefore everything I do is masculine.

You know the most masculine activity I can think of? Going to the beach and digging a hole in the sand.

For the man who never fixes anything. It is criminal to not put some more tools on that card.

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.

Bought beer shampoo for my dad once as part of a joke gift. It did not smell like beer, but did not smell good either.

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

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.

I was tempted by Naval Supremacy but I didn’t like the smell (which totally should have been Bay Rum).

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.

Don’t forget your tactical Christmas stocking this holiday season! 💪

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.

Heh, very true. It just messes up the first impression which is where the clothing jokes have the best impact. Never as fun if people take time to get to know you before getting the joke your appearance made.
