I dunno, if I knew about this earlier it could have made a great stocking-stuffer for my wife!
(there’s always valentines day, but let’s get serious here: I’m not giving a company like this any money)
I was so hoping this was some sort of humor. It appears to be serious. That is so frickin’ sad I can’t even…
Black Rifle Coffee meets manly meat mongers. The level of insecurity at play here boggles my skull-protein, which is my new, more masculine way of saying brains.
It’s a fun idea but I ain’t buying nothin’ meant to be eaten from a manly man that may or may not think real men don’t need to clean food prep areas.
From their website…
Sweat cleans places a shower can’t.
Rubbing dirt on it speeds up the healing process.
And these gems…
Catching a large fish is as close as a man gets to the feeling of his first kiss.
MAN FACT #69: Real men can see the number of this fact and not giggle.
A wonderfully kooky, impractical idea ruined by toxic masculinity
That’s not much of a message. I’ll bet those cheap bastards use sans serif fonts, too. For 23.99, I’d at least expect some serifs!
I attended a gathering of local small beer brewery types… micro-brewers… Maybe 100 people there, only 2 women. Mostly White guys with beards, lots of ink and leather wrist straps.
I left thinking this was some sub-culture cult where you could convince fellow bros to invest in the pyramid, buy some vats and hire a German to stir the brews. It felt they wanted to portray themselves as … sensitive modern guys with feelings too lets create a safe space outside of Big-Beer influence this is a lifestyle we’re promoting…
But what a sausage-fest. Likely as the fad wanes, they’ll move into monthly meat or razor subscriptions.
Sounds like you attended a shitty brewer gathering then. Around where I am you could expect a more diverse gathering.
Okay… so this is gross, stupid and clearly meant to piss people off, so I can’t even be bothered to give the desired irate reaction.
Instead, here’s a quick reprise - a reminder, even:
We are all just sentient meat; men, women and every kind of human being in between…
Is that Hop Man?
Why yes it is!
The Hero We Need!
It stains my cranial thinkius maximus.
Doughman: the Hero we knead.
Toxic Masculinity Man; the Hero we kneed.
