    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.

        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.

        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.

      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…

      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.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
