Some people would have just cut their hair to give the societal cue about their gender, but I give this guy credit for making a special pronoun vest instead of conforming.

According to the handkerchief code, he's a bottom that gives handies

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 21 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

His vest says he's proud of fukin' males. So, that checks out.

[–] leisesprecher@feddit.org 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I think being bottom is about getting fucked.

That's a very complicated way to spell "insecurity".

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 28 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

These idiots take other people being proud of who they are as a personal attack against males. I debate if it's insecurity or ego to think it's all about them. You can be proud to be male, it's just kind of dickish since society has literally never cared about you being male.

[–] schnapsman@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

In a hyper-individuelistic society where everyone is constantly being compared and judged, the feeling that you're better than everyone else brings incredible relief. Of course the concept of being better than others is deeply flawed but you never learned to question these things. So how do you achieve the feeling? Study hard, lift others around you, save your money. Sure, but that takes years, and it's hard work. So what if you're inherently better than others-- that solves it. Race, language, gender, nationaliry.. All things that cost you no effort. There's another shortcut to these feelings. All you have to do to in order to become better than most of the population and get into to heaven is say that you believe the Bible. That's it. Just gotta say you believe it and you're in the club. Zero effort, all the dopamine. Supporting some sports team. Buying a particular car. Using what you buy to signal to others something about you. Bumper stickers, adding a ribbon to your profile picture, posting some cringe on LinkedIn, attention seeking on your birthday.. All attempts to showcase how excellent you are with minimal effort.

So if your entire sense of self worth is based on attributes about you which you were either born with or cost you no effort, you'll want to support anyone who places importance on those things. Nationality, consumerism, race, gender, religion, etc.

I do find it quite weird when people claim to be proud of something for which they did nothing to achieve it. Like, his shirt literally says that he was born male. I guess, he did manage to get successfully born, so uh good job?

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

I mean chance/luck is a huge part of everything. Sure you can nudge things a bit here or there but you really shouldn’t be proud of anything you “accomplish” if you think about all the luck involved.

[–] leisesprecher@feddit.org 11 points 9 hours ago

It's a last resort.

Nationality, race, sex all are things that can't be taken away from you. Even the lowest of the low lives still can look down on mexicans, blacks, women because at least he's not that!

Attacking these last resorts by making them not matter, is an attack on the flimsy sense of self worth these people have. You can't be proud to be a man if it doesn't matter that you're a man.

I’ve never been prouder of that time I rolled 2 dice and got 12. A breathtaking, crowning achievement where all my years of hard work or education or whatever paid off.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 4 points 6 hours ago

You should now lecture others (who can't even afford to buy 2 dice) how you did it and they can do it, too.

They WERE 20-sided, though..

"The lady doth protest too much"

[–] recursive_recursion@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (2 children)

"The lady doth protest too much"

"The ~~lady~~ male doth protest too much"

Edit:
if people don't like this comment in context to the post I'm willing to take it down

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 hours ago

The male version of lady would be gentleman though...

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 15 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

It might be easier for people to understand the context if you quoted more of the original image, like

The "proud fuckin' male" doth protest too much

[–] recursive_recursion@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

ah totally fair, I'll do this next time

Thanks!🤗

[–] UmeU@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

I doth hath no fukin idea what you two are talking about

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 35 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

You're not a man until you've had a man

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 9 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

There was that meme that I read that I can't remember but paraphrasing.

How straight people will never ever be 100% confident they're straight. But if you sex a person of the same gender and don't like it, only then can you with no uncertainty, be 100% confident you're straight.

[–] rbn@sopuli.xyz 5 points 7 hours ago

Even then it might have been the wrong person. I never felt attracted to another man so far but how can I be really 100% (!!!) sure there is not 'the one' out there unless I meet them all? :D

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 3 points 6 hours ago

What if you did that and kinda liked it, but the uncertainty is still there? Asking for myself.

[–] recursive_recursion@lemmy.ca 9 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

ah yes the ye ol' adage does proclaim as such:
You are what you eat! ;)

So I am a three Turkey sandwiches and six cans of Mt. Dew code red on this day.

[–] Greg@lemmy.ca 13 points 11 hours ago

I guess this guy doesn't like to get misgendered

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I bet this male has never interacted with a left leaning person his entire life and is just wildly swinging.

[–] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Ironically this man is very very gay

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

I mean, the shirt does say that he's fucking male...

[–] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 4 points 8 hours ago

Actually, it says he's "fukin'" male. Lol

I question the fuckin' part. Don't think he's getting laid.
