We’re all insecure about our masculinity, and as a result, little acts that would teeter on the edge of “feminine” or “gay” make us pi$$ed off. My question to you nickas is, what kind of pet peeves make you feel emasculated?
One thing I hate is accidentally sitting down to take a piss. I have to drop a 2, but instead I 1 while sitting on the toilet. Makes me feel very gay.
The other I feel ashamed to admit is that it took me two hours on changing my windshield wipers.
When you pee standing up, the pee somewhat bounces off the water and splatters all over the floor and seat.
Once upon a time, I saw a toilet whose design was as such that the pit was recessed deeply enough to avoid this problem. I think a better way to resolve this problem is to change the design of toilets.
Because my penis is really long, I really hate round-fronted toilets so to take a dump, I gotta tuck my penis in and make it doesn’t bump the nasty outer walls and stuff.
Kohler toilets are top-tier, btw, everything else is crap.
fuck sitting down. REAL men even shit standing up. I aint about to let pansy ass prostate cancer erode one of the best male privileges there is: no bathroom line during the 7th inning stretch
It really depends on how one defines being male. What if someone defines their masculinity outside of their genitalia? Would castration still emasculate them? It might emasculate them in the perception of other people, but perhaps not themselves. This would mean emasculation is a matter of perception, which goes back to my original statement. You cannot prevent others from seeing you as emasculated, but you can prevent yourself from being emasculated with how you perceive the concept of maleness.
As for your second point, note there is a difference being the male sex and the male gender. Someone who is sexually female could still have a male gender and be emasculated.
On a side note, I find it interesting how ‘effeminate’ (the female counterpart of ‘emasculate’) means to become feminine, not rob or reduce in femininity. Losing maleness was obviously more of a concern than losing femininity.
When you go out to bars with your friends, and to pay for drinks they send you to the bathroom to give out massages, and they promise you, like “Oh yeah, just keep going, we’ll get you massages and drinks in just a bit” and then like, 30 or 40 more guys come and go and your hands get super tired and you leave and are like “hey guys, when do I get my massage?” and they have already left. Then you have to go back to the bathroom and give massages to the guy working the hand dryer because you need to dry off your clothes or the taxi’s won’t let you ride in them.
