Someone has never grown up as a boy

Oh look, someone who has never grown up as a male, assuming how males grow up. That we don’t get told the same thing. you’ll fit right into to tumblr.

“man up”

“men don’t cry”

“be a man”

“that’s not manly”

“get muscles”

“eat meat”

“play with action figures instead”

“be loud”

“No hitting girls ”(but not boys)

“be tough”

“men protect girls even at the cost of their lives” (check like…any action children’s movie or…adult movie)

“It isn’t manly to do that.”

“boys are dirty”

“snips, snails, and puppy dog tails”

“boys are stupid”

And it is even worse if you are gay growing up and your parents don’t approve (like most gay people growing up over the past 20 years in the US)

“no cooking, that isn’t manly”

“you need guy friends”

“go to the gym”

“be sure to work hard enough to support two people. you might get married someday”

“go hit on girls”

“pay for meals for girls”

“that’s what boys are supposed to do”

Maybe shut your biased one-sided mouth and stop spreading misinformation. This kind of thing is why the struggles of men are joked about and not taken seriously. Men must lead perfect lives and thus have nothing to worry about. We don’t worry about men who are overweight because they must not have any struggles from that. We don’t need to help the majority of depression victims because they’re men. We don’t need to help the majority of violence victims because they’re men. We can just laugh a man getting his penis cut off and put into a garbage disposal. It’s only a man.

I grew up being told what it is to be a man every step through my life. I was told that men have muscles, eat a lot, and get dirty. In most of the books I read and kids movies I watched, I was told that I need to risk my life for women. “women and children first”, “never hit a woman” (even if she was the one attacking), “protect women” (instead of protect people). I was told that their lives are held more value than mine.

I was told to grow up and find a good job, not for me, but so that I would be found attractive by a girl and so that I could spend money on her to make her happy, but not expecting the same treatment. I was told to date women by picking them up, driving them to a restaurant, paying tons of money on them, buy them a gift, and drop them off. Of course none of the girls that I went to school with were told to do the same thing.  ”Because that’s what being a man is.”

I was told that I wasn’t aloud to cook because “it wasn’t manly enough”, even though it’s what I liked to do. Even though I didn’t have any friends and didn’t like going outside, I was forced out because “boys like to run around and get dirty”. I was told that women don’t like flabby men and that I should get thinner (more manly) to attract a woman.

How dare you assume that I as a boy was not constantly told what it is to be a man. How dare you spread that only women get told that.

It’s a horrible thing when influential people spread misinformation like this because more often than not, people will believe you, whether you know what you’re talking about or not.

How much snow it takes to cancel school in the U.S

“Any snow”

Well it never fuckin snows in fuckin Florida people would go mad shit insane if it did and then there would be mass chaos and then they’d have to cancel school cause everyone is shittin their pants

Yeah, it was the best working retail in Ohio when it snowed because the mall wouldn’t close unless it was a level 3 snow emergency. One time the mall even stayed open during a level 3 and the mall manager got fired for it. (I was working that day) For the people that don’t know about snow emergency levels

Snow Emergency Classifications

LEVEL 1: Roadways are hazardous with blowing and drifting snow. Roads may also be icy. Motorists are urged to drive very cautiously.

LEVEL 2: Roadways are hazardous with blowing and drifting snow. Roads may also be very icy. Only those who feel it is necessary to drive should be out on the roads. Contact your employer to see if you should report to work. Motorists should use extreme caution.

LEVEL 3: All roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel. No one should be driving during these conditions unless it is absolutely necessary to travel or a personal emergency exists. All employees should contact their employer to see if they should report to work. Those traveling on the roads may subject themselves to arrest.

I wish I could find a gif of the King of the Hill scene where it starts to snow and everyone panics and their cars are sliding around in the parking lot.

I like how all of Canada is dark blue. The snowy north indeed

There is some variation within districts and years.  In southeast Nebraska I’ve had school canceled for less than 6" with other conditions, and left open with more than 12".

Land of the free home of the rich

What really scares me is that they all have significantly cheaper health care AND education, which means Americans not only make the least, they pay the most.

…wait, what?

Yup.

get less vacations too. 

our entire culture is working and then trying to find ways to distract ourselves from the overly-worked-induced depression.

the weirdest thing is that it’s not even like we as a culture NEED to work so much—there are still a lot of unemployed or underemployed people! The workforce is there, but paying four people vs one who has to get stuff done no matter how exausting it is —well, the choice for companies is easy.

GOTTA GET THEM EXECUTIVES BONUSES Y’KNOW.

im in ontario canada and my minimum wage is $11. they’re different per province okay it’s not just ALL OF CANADA IS THIS

There you go. Not much better, but now you have some more facts.

yup the US sucks I’m moving to Mars

And to think, there are debates stating that raising the minimum wage in the US to $9/hr would destroy the economy.

Went for early morning stretching and yawning, and ended up one microphone shy of cabaret singer.  Not a bad thing.

Quick WIP of Raricow stuff.
