“Realizing you are wrong, learning from it, and becoming better because of it.”
“I love growing flowers, sewing, cooking, baking, and other activities that are viewed by some as “girly” activities. I also love traditionally manly things like fishing, building furniture, mowing my lawn, etc.
A long time ago I was upset by some of my friends ribbing me for liking to do “girly” things. My dad handled this by teaching me that the manliest thing a man can do is “whatever the hell he wants”.
“Sewing. When you’re stuck on a boat in the Pacific during WWII, you’d better know how to stich up your own uniform. Source: both of my grandfathers.”
“Hygiene and cleanliness. I live on my own and I love having a clean and neat house.”
“Taking care of your skin. I hate how some of the guys I work with and serve with (I’m in the army) give me sh#t for using products for my face and skin. But they also wonder why I get told I look like I’m 25 even though I’m almost 36. Because I take care of my body.”
“Being an attentive and involved father. I can change a diaper one handed and I’m proud of that fact.”
“Ordering a fruity drink. “A real man orders a beer!” No, a real man orders whatever the f@#k he wants.”
“Buying feminine products for your SO. I have no shame buying tampons or pads when I do the grocery shopping, which is always. Men that get all embarrassed or won’t do it are the “unmanly” ones.”
“When I was a kid I was once at a clothing store and I saw a pink men’s shirt. I said out loud “what kind of men wear pink shirts???” and my mom said “secure men”. For some reason that always stuck with me.”
“Being there for your kids.”
“Respecting boundaries.”
“Ballet. Those dudes are strong!”
“I had guys tell me it’s unmanly to use/carry an umbrella. Those wet, insecure bastards can go screw themselves!”
“Walking away from a physical fight, instead of getting involved/the whole “I could put you in hospital but I won’t” nonsense. A true “alpha”, if you must use that word, doesn’t need to assert his dominance like that.”
“Crying; men can have feelings, too!”
“Dancing. Dudes that can dance get all the sex.”
“I have a beard that would make sasquatch jealous. I like scotch whiskey, Dominican cigars, and American motorcycles. I worked most of my adult life as an ironworker. But none of that is the manly part: When my daughter was 3 to about 6 or 7, it was common for me to go to work with my nails painted every color of the rainbow. Letting your little girl paint your nails is manly as f@#k, gentlemen.”

YOU made the comment....
Hahaha
Yes. A comment that the sad insecure little boy would flock to this post. Nothing more, nothing less. Obviously only the ones that felt that was about them downvoted. If the shoe fits you and the rest like you put it on themselves.
Each downvote in this case was a sweet indication of an angry incel like yourself seething.
