Is this a satire? Don’t hunt learn to cook?

I told my husband this evening of my love for humblegunner. He took it quite well.

Though I have done them, I have never been interested in hunting or fishing - or anything else you have to get up at dark-thirty to do. The rest of the stuff on this fool’s list are essential skills if you are going to own a car and a home, have a wife and have children.

In other words, for those of us who live outside the coastal cities.....

Thanks for the list of things I need to make sure I’m doing.

How to be a homo.

Seems to me, this little b**ch list is targeting self sufficient, more traditional, working men. But, the audience is exactly, not those men.

Fwiw, I APPLAUD you for raising a STRONG, INDEPENDENT & BEAUTIFUL daughter.

Fyi, my adopted adult daughter is a professional, electrical engineer by trade. = We are VERY proud of her accomplishments.

Fwiw, my late mother (who in addition to being a wife & mother was a schoolteacher & the certified nutritionist for our county) was a noted horsewoman/cowgirl & a “dead shot” with her .22LR Colt’s Woodsman in her youth.
She always said that “Texas women had to learn to kill their own snakes” as Texas was “always Heaven for men & dogs but Hell on women & horses”.

Yours, TMN78247

Doctors Marin and Chong made a serious study of this phenomenon about 40 years ago.

I’m of Generation X myself, and every single one of these points they feel the need to say men need to divest themselves of is something that was drilled into my head from a very early age... I refuse to believe my father and his father and his father before him were idiots or mistaken...

WOW!

He hits about 90% of my lifestyle.

Hunting- I hunt all fall and winter, deer and elk mostly. I’m hunting three days next week, going to Kansas for a prairie dog shoot. I don’t hunt because I need to, I hunt because it’s FUN.

Fishing- I fish most of the summer, last week I took the boat to the coast and fished three days. I caught redfish, speckled trout, sheepshead and a couple of saltwater catfish. I don’t fish because I need to, I fish because it’s FUN.

Working on cars- Last week I cured the stumble at idle in my car by putting in some new spark plugs. I suppose I could have taken it to a mechanic and let him charge me $300 to diagnose and fix it while leaving my car there for a week and driving a rental. Instead I went to the auto parts place and paid $25 for six spark plugs and fixed it in about 20 minutes. Spent the money and time I saved on drinking beer.

Cooking- I already know how to do that. Pretty danged well as a matter of fact. The blackened fish tacos with sour cream/cayenne/lime sauce were incredible if I do say so myself.

Upon further reading my point may have been obscured... I should have stated that the points raised in this article were the absolute inverse of what I was taught. I was taught precisely what this article stated should not be taught, and I feel I’m a far better man for it...

Something about liking to only eat game he kills

Very unusual for a meterosexual Jewish leftist urban billionaire

One notch in his favor

The only thing they left out was “standing up to pee.”

The author has an article on the website where he recommends all men should always sit down to urinate. He has a list of metrosexual reasons.
