        Ya then look at the military. My dad spent 8 years in the airforce and he swears it was the most homoerotic 8 years of his life even tho he’s straight. Gay shit is so common in the military it’s laughable whenever conservatives try to hold military men as the gold standard for what a man is. Meanwhile a whole platoon of Marines are seeing is Jim Bob can deep throat the plotoons gaint black dildo. But totally as a joke… Why does the platoon have a dildo… Don’t ask don’t tell.

        Which is nice when the item in question is like “onions” or “apples”. Things that don’t have a ton of variety or choice.

        There are so many soaps and he seems like a little bitch, the kind that will want to smell each one to make sure it’s manly.

          I don’t really care about all the options I’d say get me Body Wash bro and id be happy with almost all scents. Maybe mint isn’t great as it feels cold, but I’d still be appreciative and it’s on me to say any not mint.

          I’m not trying to be a dick about it but I love that you used apples and onions as an example of things with minimal variety when one of those is the most varied product class in the produce department. For onions there are red, green, white, yellow, and shallots. Most of those are different enough that you’d see and taste a swap out immediately. Then, with apples, there are so many varieties at this point, even without including the more niche varieties, a well supplied produce department can have an entire section just for types of apples. They could probably be knocked down into half a dozen categories but many people will be able to differenciate them enough to complain. Most other things are relatively unvaried, maybe a binary split, some a literal monoculture, but those two…

        “Hey man checking on that body wash I asked you about”

        “Oh sorry I forgot”

        “No worries, since I don’t like your rose stuff, I’ll just pour a few coors lights over myself right before I dry off. Try to grab it next time you’re out if you can, thanks”

      Being told I smell nice is why I’ve used women’s soap and deodorant since I was small. I would rather smell vaguely like a field of wildflowers, a warm summer breeze, and fresh-washed linens than whatever the fuck Axe is meant to be a gun in a pine forest (edit courtesy of /u/Stern)

    The fact that much of the world has defined masculinity as “rugged, raw, and remorseless rock n’ roll” is just wild to me.

      Seriously. For some people cooking, baking, sewing, cleaning, doing the dishes, laundry are all for women and not “manly”. A “manly man” is then someone who cannot take care of himself at all and needs a mother/nanny substitute his whole life just to survive. And that’s somehow “strong”???

      You don’t even need to have emotions while using a scented body wash. You can just go “ah, roses, cool” and get on with it.

      There is a legitimate reason to prefer something else. I would also want something that provides freshness in a minty/salty/whatever way. Roses do smell nice, but I would rather have something associated with icy/sporty freshness. But assuming it’s feminine just because it smells like flowers… consult renaissance folks.

    Used to do IT for a small meat packing plant; would shoot the shit with the warehouse guys whenever they came in for a break. Bunch of 20-something guys slinging 20-60 pound boxes of meat all day.

    Power went out one time, and we’re all sitting around waiting to see if the power is going to come back quickly enough that we don’t need to start unloading all the inventory; and one of them expressed a need to use the facilities. I told him the bathroom was right there; it didn’t need power to flush.

    There were no windows, and he didn’t want to end up peeing all over the floor.

    I pointed out that if he sat down, he wouldn’t need to aim.

    “I’m not gonna sit to pee!”

    “Dude, it’s not like it’s gonna fall off.”

    It might!

      i love sitting down to pee. with a penis, even. standing up takes effort. sitting does not. i can dribble off in the toilet instead of on my pants. i can check my phone quick. i can sit instead of stand. pee flows out better sitting down so i strain less. i don’t have to stand elbow to elbow with a stranger holding his dick, too literally ever. the pros are quite good.

      the only bad thing is apparently some men think it’s not manly! but im gay sooo oh nooooo anything but that. also sometimes the water is too high and the tip of your dick might touch but really this barely ever happens. I’m tall anyways, so when i use a urinal my dick is squished up by the top rim most of the time anyways which i find gross too.

        Many men don’t wash their ass in the shower because it’s considered gay.

            My washer is fairly standard I think, 7 or 8 kilo, and it definitely only takes one load to get it washed. Granted it scales with the amount of beds you have so if you’ve a larger family it’ll be way more work.

          JFC we really are doomed. Maybe we deserve it if something as basic hygiene is considered to determine your sexual orientation! Like really‽ If anything, to me, it’s a matter of comfort.

      As a cis man, I sometimes pee sitting down but only at home, never in a public bathroom. I go as far as lifting the toilet seat with my foot. The less contact the better. Maybe if I touched the bowl with my dick it would fall off, not taking any chances
