Teh feminisation of man!

LouOB

Men in Pink shirts are a defo 'no no' in my book and gives me the all clear for the slagging of the poor bloke.

But honestly most men could do with a practical course in hygiene let alone extra preening.

Oh by the way James Bond order a Mojito in Die Another Day
Pure symbol of male dome in my book - give it to me shaken and stirred baby

is feminisation directly linked to the irish mothering experienced by most males in Ireland?

It wasn't a thread about women. Most of the above would go for women too. Emotional consistency may be a bridge too far though....

That's too pat an answer. So a guy who is ignoble, over emotional, petty, spineless and disloyal would be still a man if he was just being himself?

Pink is only relatively recently a feminine colour though. That's fashion mostly. Some of the hardest men in history wore skirts so....

No. Mothering leads to men who can't tie their own shoe laces.

Feminisation leads to men opting for sandals.

The difference is subtle but present. :pac:

BF came home with a 'pink' polo shirt

You cannot masculine PINK
True its just a colour - but also a source of weakness
If you wear it be prepared for the consequences

They also ran through nettles without any underware so I count them as real men

In fairness, regardless of the colour you should end it with anyone who comes home wearing a polo shirt.

Jesus wore sandals (allegedly) and he was a double-hard, nails-through-the-wrists bastard.

So not only do you not think women are pretty but that they're emotionally inconsistent? And to think they let you mod PI.

Yes. Specifically, he would be a politician.

Yea, why not! A bad man, granted, but a man none the less - he's honest with himself at least.


...although, you could be right: there's no room for spineless.

Yep they do. Seems to upset you that. In any case of course I think women are pretty and yes in general I also think they're emotionally more complex and fluid than men.

Yes. Specifically, he would be a politician.

Rubbish. Jesus wasn't a man so can't be counted. I don't mean the "he wasn't a man he was the son of God" that insane people will come out with.

I mean he didn't get drunk and rowdy, he didn't punch people and he spoke a message of peace.

Hardly a man worth listening to. :pac:

Back to the politician again.

Agreed.

Dang. Did I use the whole PI mod bit before? Anyway, it's only because I'm deeply concerned for the users over there. What with someone as emotionally inconsistent as you in charge.

@Zulu: Thankee, sir, thankee.

Yep so at least you're consistent so that's one point on the list scored to you.

Pink was considered to be an active colour and it was up until the nazis started making people wear pink triangles considered a mascline colour and blue was considered a passive colour and was considered feminine.

Damn Nazis ruin everything.

Besides, no point in harking back to the good old days with regards to fashion. It buried in the now afterall.

My only issue with blokes who wear pink shirts is that most of these are the same people who thought calling someone "gay" was the ultimate insult in their younger years.

Terrible bunch of lads alright.

As for pink, me no know about that one to be honest. Seems one of those things certain people get away with, but I've seen lads out on the town who looked like proper muppetz rocking the pink shirt look. It's a risk I'm not willing to take.

The worst thing you can do it talk about it. I'm fairly low maintenance, shampoo, bodywash, deodourant maybe the odd spritz of eau de toilette if I'm making a huge effort.


However, I'm constantly accused of things due to my hair. Seriously, all I do is wash it every 2-3 days, it's probably better quality than most girls because I don't put all that sh't in it! No, I don't straighten it and tbh, the last cut I got was like 2 years ago (had a trim last week just to snip the ends) yet I get asked every 2 days if I've had it styled. A quick brush in the morning and then into a hairband, that's it.

I used to care a lot about my image but then I discovered that people that gave a damn didn't tend to be much fun so as long as I'm clean, I'm out the door. I really would look down on some f*cker playing with his hair for half an hour before going to the pub.

I used to get that when I had long hair.

How do you get your hair so shiny? I wash it.
What shampoo do you use? The one in the bottle. Smells like apples.
How do you get it so straight? I comb it.
What conditioner do you use? I don't use conditioner.

This constant questioning was one of the things that led me to getting my head shaved.

Hilarious. Getting upset over a colour.

Wonder where is this code that says pink is a weak colour?

Whats a hard colour then? A dull dour one in your book?
