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

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 24 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 11 points 5 months ago

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?

[-] leisesprecher@feddit.org 8 points 5 months 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.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

They WERE 20-sided, though..

[-] superkret@feddit.org 2 points 5 months 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.

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.

"The lady doth protest too much"

"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

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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 5 months ago

ah totally fair, I'll do this next time

Thanks!🤗

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

[-] FoxyFerengi@lemm.ee 59 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago

I used to wear a black kerchief around my left wrist when I was hiking, for wiping sweat and washing face, TIL I'm a strong SM top when I'm on the trails. Not quite sure what that means but I'm willing to learn.

[-] crusty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 5 months ago

Do you need a hiking buddy? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Always! I can even carry some of your stuff, I'm quite strong and experienced!

[-] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

That's some real top energy right there

[-] Zementid@feddit.nl 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I had a yellow one sticking out... and found out about the codes that evening.

[-] IzzyJ@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

It means you're a dom

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

[-] leisesprecher@feddit.org 5 points 5 months ago

I think being bottom is about getting fucked.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 4 points 5 months ago

TIL the LGBT scene is gatekeeping out the colorblind

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 40 points 5 months ago
[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 37 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] inv3r510n@lemmy.world 33 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Fukin

What a fucking pussy he can’t even spell fuck out

[-] everett@lemmy.ml 9 points 5 months ago

He tried his best.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

Also the abbreviate is Fucken' or Fuckin" the Fuck is left unaltered

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

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 9 points 5 months ago

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 4 points 5 months 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 2 points 5 months ago

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

[-] recursive_recursion@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 28 points 5 months ago

As a man, I have never been "proud" to be a man, I mostly feel ambivalent about it, it is who I am, I'd rather be proud about my actions than my gender.

[-] Grail@aussie.zone 5 points 5 months ago
[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 months ago

I will make no secret about how I don't really understand transgender people, it used to annoy me, but since about a year or two ago I realized that it doesn't matter to me, and it apparently matters a lot to them.

So I stopped caring enough to be annoyed, I realized that if they are happy and it doesn't hurt others, then I have no reason to make their day worse.

To all trans people, I may not understand what you feel, but I will not be a dick about it, my confusion is my own issue and I will do my best to not make it yours.

He's proud fucking men. Good for him.

New drag king fit just dropped:

[-] Greg@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 months ago

I guess this guy doesn't like to get misgendered

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Are we gonna run right passed/past (I'll never get it) this motherfuckers surrender flag holster?

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

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

[-] Sidhean@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

fukin', even. Fuin'!

[-] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

[-] ristoril_zip@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 months ago

The door on the closet this guy is trapped in is shaking on its hinges...

[-] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

Ironically this man is very very gay

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago

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

[-] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

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