MAN SHAMING
A.) “You can’t say that about her choices, that’s gender-shaming! Typical man!”
B.) “You’re threatened by her sexuality, you misogynist dick! How dare you slut shame her!”
C.) “Saying that about my body is fat shaming, you sexist pig!”
D.) “Those jokes are insensitive to the trans community, you cissie! That’s trans-shaming!”
E.) “You’re just uncomfortable with my testosterone laden behaviors. That’s man-shaming you crazy chick!”
….
Now, of those five, which have you never heard before?
If you don’t want me to fat shame, slut shame, goth shame, body shame, or trans-shame you – stop man-shaming me. And if you REALLY wanted a world free of “-shaming”, you wouldn’t be using the same tactics yourself. Since we BOTH know you aren’t going to stop anytime soon – don’t expect me to.
I’m a stereotypical male. (Please note, I said stereotypical, not typical). I smoke cigars. I drink beer. I believe in the triumph of common sense over the “awareness of sensibilities”. I build things by hand, and I own (several) guns. I shoot things for relaxation. I am in a marriage with a woman who believes in “old fashioned values”. I don’t apologize for any of it. Ever.
And no, I’m not politically correct. I probably know more jokes that would piss you off than you’ve ever heard in your lifetime. Try me.
It’s called being a misogynistic, heterosexual, unashamedly testosterone-y man. I don’t expect most of you to like it. There are things I don’t particularly like about many of you.
And as long as you keep trying to shame me for it – I’m not gonna stop making my jokes anytime soon.
We can act civil as human beings while still making our jokes and having our personal views. So get a sense of humor.
Or get the fuck out.
Thank you.
