Septic masculinity: when homophobia prevents men from literally wiping their own asses

Yeah, had been explained to me. I think “defecate” and “urinate” work just fine. Took me two days to get my kid back on track after a otherwise nice Bavarian public servant made him think that “poop” (I guess that’s the cognate to German “kacke”) is acceptable language to describe a cropolith in public.

I’m English and I didn’t understand most of it either.

All these “this has to be fake!” comments are starting to seem a little suspect, I gotta say…

ah, basic incompetency at life, and ensured shitty sex—in the most unpleasant manifestation of that word.

also if a dude “screams” about how to use the toilet “like a real man” i’d bet he’s also willing to use abuser tactics to get anything else he thinks is “his due.”

lol, “this is fake” is often the same impulse as concern-trolling—“i’m just concerned that you are being taken in! have you considered it might not be true?”

Lots of people are overwhelmed by petty personality conflicts. So talk about any social issues typically devolves into personal judgments rather than open discusson. If we stripped away all of the accusations and defensiveness, I shudder to think how much would be left.

This, all the way around.

My own anecdotal evidence includes a single date with a woman who smelled like old shit, and once working with a guy who never smelled like shit but if he bent over to pick something up usually had the top of a skidmark visible in the “plumber’s crack”. That guy was also assumed by everyone in the office to be the one who left a stain at the back of the toilet seat. Not an explosive-diarrhea-omg-it-went-everywhere type of mark, but a diluted-with-sweat-faint-brown-sheen.
I’ve also seen foster parenting homes which were run like puppy mills, strictly for the money from the state, kids were treated like cattle with minimal to no individualized attention. It would not surprise me at all if these guys came from that sort of situation, (or were never rescued from something worse in the first place).

Or just indicative of a rather sheltered life. There is a small percentage of humanity that truly qualifies as sub-human. Each generation has a mandate to be better than their parents, but some backslide badly. If you’ve never actually met any of them though it would be hard to believe they exist.

Technically I think it’s “dropping the kids off at the pool.”
Still a bit of a stretch, I guess.

Real North-westerners don’t use umbrellas regardless of gender.

I’m hoping this is just a hoax, because the alternative is too depressing.

D’ja see this one?

Good movie (in my estimation) about a guy with some hygiene issues.

Personally, I’d hope it wasn’t true; hell, I can under being desperate to believe it’s not… but I’m cynical enough to know that somewhere in the world, for someone, it is true… and I pity anyone unfortunate enough to ‘encounter’ such persons.

Everyone’s shit stinks, and no one wants to smell anyone else’s, generally.

Fair point, that.

I can honestly say I did not.

Not sure I will either, now; not with that back-handed reco…

I’ve been hanging out around campfires since the 70s and i’m sure I’ve heard a few tall tales as well. Some less tall.

It is quite, um, difficult. I like such things.

The thing that drives me crazy about people who are so quick to claim fake is that so often they don’t present any evidence. The only argument for it (whatever it may be) being a fake is incredulity.

I mean, this certainly could be fake. It does sound like the kind of thing some bizarre 4chan-style trolling operation would come up with. At the same time, show me some evidence. I’ve known plenty of men who’ve had extremely negative reactions to anything remotely associated with homosexuality.

Edit: if it is fake, my hat is off to you, anonymous troll(s).

Maybe he had such bad aim that they gave up and removed the seat(s).

People at campfire aren’t anonymous, though, which was the defense brought up by the person I replied too.
