Oh my.
By the way, the ugly mug of the Taverner primitive, a primitive supernas, has been framed and the picture hung in its proper place here, on the wall above the commode in the bathroom.

What does it mean to be a "Man"?
Obviously testicles and the y chromosome....
But in a more analogical sense...
What, to you, makes a man...a man?

9. Actually, a good question.
IMHO, a "real man" has little to do with machismo, and a lot to do with treating others, especially their partners and children, with respect and dignity, being a leader who sets a good example, doing the right thing, and making life as good as possible and happy for himself and others.
My father berated me as a teen for his perception of me that I wasn't sufficiently masculine in his eyes. It hurt. I turned out a lot more of a real man than he ever was. He was extremely cruel and abusive to my mother and me, and sexually deviant as well (sorry, TMI). I had a great example of how not to act, and I am happy to say I have achieved my goal of being as opposite as possible from him.

There are two main things it takes to be a man and both are equally important: a healthy sense of humor and an ability to take life as it comes.
Drug addicts seldom have either let alone both. That's why they are drug addicts.

I am sorry, but that is a hurtful and disrespectful label. The correct phrase is "oppressed sexual minority"./sarcasm

It took how many years of therapy to stop being a sexual deviant?

If you have to ask what it takes to be a man at his age then he will never get it.

Isn't asking the DUmmies how to be a man rather like asking a vegetarian the best way to cook a steak?
They don't know, and even if they did they'd find it objectionable.

Taking care of your family is one way to be a man.......
1-don't marry babby's momma......so she and baby can get foodstamps, free housing, healthcare, etc..
2-score the good dope for mom so mom will be laid back......when she ain't laying down.
3-impregnant baby's momma many times so as to increase government support.
4-pip baby's momma out when drugs have killed your penis.
5-go to prison so state takes better care of family.
