Walking around, stabbing my pocketknife into nearby pipes to get water when I get thirsty

TIL carrying things is a feminine trait. Bad news for the moving industry

I hope she's as nice as possible when she breaks it to the entire military that carrying a pack and rifle is female tendencies

"Dad, I'm thirsty!"

"Not to worry, I've got my pocketknife! Now all we need is to find a cactus...Ooh, or one of those vines like in Predator"

men is it gay to take a thing from one location to another

[-] honeynut@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

only if you don't burn up gallons of cancer fluid to take take 5000 lbs of metal with you. Then, even picking up your kids from school and buying groceries can be a very manly heterosexual activity as long you do it in your shiny 8ft tall tronck.

Hydration is very gay. Tell me you don't feel like immediately sucking on a big pocket rocket after a few sips of h2o.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

The line between a bit and actual chud ideology and practice is blurry and has lots of overlap.

This can't be a real person

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There is a certain type of person who is dedicated to determining which traits are feminine and which are masculine

Men are supposed to be angry, carry sharp objects, grunt and fart

Women are supposed to lie, eat hot chip and charge ~~their~~ they phone

This guy in the 1800s showing up to the HMS Terror to go find the Northwest Passage armed only with a pocket knife and nothing else, trying to explain to the crew that carrying things is feminine and gay actually

The only things men should be carrying around are his wallet and a pocket knife.

Real men leave their houses unlocked, don't have a car, and don't even own a cell phone.

Look at this aristocratic dandy. Paying for things and using tools. Did all his teeth fall out or something?

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

This is clearly reverse psychology meant to trick men into dying of dehydration.

[-] Tofu_Lewis@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Staying hydrated while being blasted with dry recycled air and surrounded by thousands of people with unique bacteria and virus biomes: very feminine.

Every gay person I know drinks water, so yeah seems preeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty gay.

imagine carrying a pocket knife around lmao

[-] BlueMagaChud@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

as someone who works in the trades, I'm almost always carrying a pocket utility knife, though I probably use the screwdriver part more than the knife part

I carry a mini screwdriver set around, it's actually been useful a few times. No pocketknife though.

It can actually be pretty useful, tbh

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

yeah, living rural or if I were into hiking, i could see the use.

but being a suburbanite australian like 90% of people here, it just seems so alien to me to actually need to carry a knife

Well, in the late eighties Australian men would frequently flourish knives as a part of a competitive mating ritual in front of the females. After which point the challenged male would exclaim, "That's not a knoife. THIS is a knoife!"and attempt to produce a larger blade. This trend continued until Prime Minister Bob Hawke was grievously wounded by a zweihander after which carrying knives without a permit was banned in Australia

Fellas, is it gay to not die of thirst especially when at an airport? rage-cry

I dunno how if this trick works in other airports, but at Portland's airport you can fill your hydroflask with beer at the bars inside the terminal. PDX has anti price gouging rules too, so the business's can't sell things for more than $1 over their menu prices outside of the airport.

dude yall live in a utopia other than the housing crisis

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

feminine trait

Unless you're constantly burning rubber in a parking lot doing figure-eights in a suburban assault vehicle while guzzling Monster(tm) to wash down that Baconator(tm) you're not masculine enough! Keep up! frothingfash

[-] Othello@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

the worst are the wives/gf who say their partners changing the diapers/ playing with their kids gave them the ick.

[-] GriffithDidNothingWrong@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Fuck, using the phrase, "gives me the ick" alone should be immediate gulag

[-] Othello@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

its almost always a used on someone doing something gender nonconforming, at least online.

real men have wives that carry all their stuff for them like mules, and then make fun of their wives for having such large purses.

[-] SkibidiToiletFanAcct@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

The only thing men should carry is a 5 inch pocket knife, a Bad Motherfucker Wallet, a huge keychain with a bottle opener and multitool and unapproved Tritium illunimated vial, and a powerful metal flashlight, and a solid metal pen with a gimmick way of opening it, and a little notebook that says "Field Notes" on the cover, and the cover is the same color as the scales on the pocket knife. and a polymer frame Subcompact pistol, and $300 Seiko watch, and a zippo lighter, and a little metal fidget toy or lucid dreaming token, and a leatherman, and a small canvas pouch, and a Sony Xperia I V, and a super old, kind of shitty, really skinny pocket knife, and a titanium ridgewallet, and a Casio calculator watch.

Wallets are extremely, wildly gay, the only option for the true alpha male is Burlap Sack of Coins

[-] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Swallowing any liquids is effeminate. Men just go until they're hospitalized and need to be intravenously hydrated.

[-] Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

crushing ice cubes and snorting them is also an acceptable form of masculine hydration

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
