How insecure can you be? Everyone was ordering beers but I didn’t feel like drinken, so I ordered tea. I guess my masculinity is in shambles right now.

Guys, drink whatever you want.

    For real. I’m 6’2 and work out 4 times a week. Even then some guys think you’re not men enough if you don’t tick all their silly boxes.ust be a miserable life.

    Edit: not that I think those measurements are manly either. The only qualification for being manly is identifying as one.

      Stuff like what you’ve posted about others expectations and their arbitrary boxes really exemplifies how people use gender roles to seek some sort of self validation. It’s funny how if you ask someone who cares deeply about their male identity what being a “man” is, it always conveniently aligns exactly with themselves, no need for self adjustment
