how to man without reenforcing patriarchy (in 10 easy steps!)
- respecting ALL women is the manliest thing you can do. failure or unwillingness to do so makes you a loser.
- you don't need to walk with a swagger to be manly. the cis fellas that do this are insecure as hell. you're better than them.
- confidence is key. the world is your oyster. even if it's walmart. chin up, relax your muscles, and remember it's confidence not arrogance. there's a difference.
- give a simple nod to a feller and he'll nod back, it's a very magical thing
- do some stretches so your back doesn't hurt all the time
- eat a meat stick or a banana
- listen to music by Beyoncé, Cher, Dolly Parton, and Dixon Dallas
- queers are your friends, we all have a kind word to share
- we all have our things that keep us going, as long as it's not doing any harm or impeding on anyone's autonomy, there should be no problems boblems.
- if a guy says his name is Roger it's your legal obligation to say "Roger that" and watch the light leave his eyes
and those are my ten easy steps to be a man without reenforcing the patriarchy :)
