Masculinity so fragile a stiff breeze would shatter it.
Living people
are soft and tender.
Corpses are hard and stiff.
The ten thousand things,
the living grass, the trees,
are soft, pliant.
Dead, they’re dry and brittle.
So hardness and stiffness
go with death;
tenderness, softness,
go with life.
And the hard sword fails,
the stiff tree’s felled.
The hard and great go under.
The soft and weak stay up.
Lao Zi (LeGuin trans.)
"Stiff breeze" sounds kinda gay.
This isn’t universal. I work with some downright chuds, and they will say good morning to me. South texas, land of the manly man.
They're gay
Bro doesn't realize he works at the gay steel mill
we work hard
we play hard
Quick edit: this gif has sound
I just watched this episode tonight!
South texas, land of the manly man.
Where men are men and sheep are nervous.
Cincinnati Ohio, and this concept of don't say good morning to guys is entirely foreign to me
I was gonna say, most of my coworkers skew older and this is a pretty usual morning thing. They take this stuff a lot less seriously than a lot of people online do. Kind of refreshing after assuming most people were this anal about social norms
"Brandon said hello to me."
"Yeah. That's understandable." In a low voice - "You know... He's..."
"Gay?"
"Nah, South Texas."
"But I don't hear it in his voice."
"Mom's from the North."
"Creepy."
Construction sites are gay as hell then
Well yeah look at that one guy in The Village People
Is it gay to talk to other man? 
having a man's voice in your ear is bottoming
What if it's two men? 
🗼
REAL MEN get on the ground and start 69ing when they meet another man.
Like dogs sniffing each others assholes as greeting
Just don't say good morning while you're doing it
never, what do you think I'm GAY?
The tweeter and the redditor are the same person.
You can create bait content so fucking easily. Shit loads of the anti-SJW stuff back when that was the word of the week was actually far right fuckheads making the posts themselves sounding like some ridiculous cartoon version of a feminist that they have in their heads. Then they would repost that shit to places like tumblrinaction and have it do the rounds on the internet.
It's so fucking easy to create hatred for groups via creating cartoon bait online and making people believe that they're real people despite the fact you will never ever ever meet a real person behaving that way.
yeah I was pretty sure that reddit post was a copypasta?

Greeting another man in the morning?? What, did you wake up in his bed?
The only appropriate way for heterosexual men to greet each other is to say "Good Evenin" the way Levon Helm does at the start of The Last Waltz.
god I am so gay for young levon
"It's seven in the fucking mornin, don't talk to me till of had my coffeffe
g'ay
Do people like this actually exist?
Lol it's the pedo poll guy
Saying "what's up" to man is pretty gay. All male interactions with another male are supposed to be inherently violent. Next time, say "what's up, fuckface?" In order to not come off as a raging homosexual.
Remember to try to stick a finger in his ass in order to prove that every interaction between men is based on an implicit threat of violence.
Are you saying you want to fuck my face, bro?
The man that believes this is a self-loathing, closeted, gay.
Real men greet like Spartans High fives for the women, and open mouth tongue kisses for the men (cw: homophobia)
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Good mornin'
😘
My most retvrn opinion is that this guy should live in a time like that of the Italian Wars, when not greeting someone on the street is grounds for an immediate duel followed by a 200 year blood feud.
the last thing a chud hears before he gets Leninated
"Good morning. You are deeply unserious."
Staaaay cool, fellas
Howdy, strictly platonic pardner.
