LIBs never cease to amaze me in their lunacy. Apparently there is no limit to their mental illness.

No, they cannot "redefine masculinity" to suit their own desires. Masculinity embodies some well known traits and practices, and cuddling other guys in some kind of weird sausage-fest is not one of them.

This is the fundamental problem with today's "liberal" thinking (or what passes for it anyway). We know the leftists and liberals are all about hypocrisy, this is just another example of it.

The leftist/liberals claim to be all about acceptance and diversity - but the truth is just the opposite. We know they don't accept or celebrate anyone with a different world-view or economic/political beliefs, that's a given. The more subtle lack of acceptance is demonstrated by this kind of thing right here.

What this really is, is just a bunch of namby-pamby guys. That's it, they lack the strength of character to deal with their problems. Ok, that happens. When that happens maybe you suck it up and move on - an actual character building opportunity. Maybe you turn to a spouse. Maybe you turn to a buddy over a beer...whatever. I guess some "guys" choose a more effeminate route like cuddling.

Fine, own it. If you're going to do that, accept that you are not a masculine guy, you have effeminate traits. Don't try to "redefine masculinity" so that you can call yourself masculine and feel good, feel normal - you're not normal, you're not masculine. Be truly accepting of diversity and just own that you are not like most other guys.

It is the same thing with other deviant behavior - and I mean that in the technical sense, not as a pejorative. Behavior that deviates from the statistical norm. Homosexuality? It is deviant behavior, own it. We shouldn't have society trying to redefine "normal" sexuality just so a relatively small slice of the population can feel good about themselves, feel "normal." No, accept that you're not normal and get on with your life. Same thing with the 57 different genders or however many there are this week. Those people are not normal either, but not normal is ok as far as that goes just don't try to redefine "normal" to suit your needs.

Leftist/liberals are not really accepting, they are frighteningly rigid in their dogma. Due to some fundamental weakness they just can't accept their own traits, so they feel compelled to force the rest of us to conform to their twisted world-view so they can feel normal or mainstream - not like a fringe element.

When I’m stressed I ride my bike, maybe go to the range, at the end of the day have a couple drinks. It’s not that complicated.

I agree with you on this bro-hug sh!t. I taught my boys to give a firm handshake and look the person in the eye.
When anyone but my relatives try to turn a handshake into a hug,I push them away and look at them like that are a nut.

I wonder if this cozy little venue involves the donning of black leather vests and chaps? Just sayin.

The article is saying that this kind of faggotry is an antidote to “toxic masculinity” and men raping women. Proves what we have been saying: that the left wants to eliminate men. The day when they find a way to create little humans without any male intervention, (cloning) is the day that they start eliminating men.

Actually, they have already started. Denying men jobs, opportunities, and college admission. Giving preference to women in government contracting. When you take away a man’s ability to earn a living, you take away what is the essence of a man, and you destroy the man.

They *might* even give another guy a *quick* hug at a funeral...or a wedding...or at the birth of a child.

Maybe. If it lasts more than a second or two, it gets weird.

Watch guys hug, usually they pound each other on the back when they do. So, it's OK to hug, so long as you're causing the other guy pain.

Cuddling? Barring sharing body warmth in a foxhole in the Ardennes in 1944, it's pretty much inexcusable.

Obviously they use the term “men” very loosely.

It may seem odd

Seem odd? In the same way that Usain Bolt seems fast, Mike Trout seems to be pretty good at baseball, Hillary Clinton seems dishonest, Maxine Waters seems dumb, Trump-Russian collusion seems fake news, Anderson Cooper seems gay.

In the right situation, guys can hug but remember that if you do so in the wrong situation, or hold on for a fraction of a second too long, or have too much contact, you'll be seen as queer as a three-dollar bill.

A range? There is only straight or homosexual.

There is a seldom recognized third group. The AMORAL, who will stick anything anywhere if it might feel good. Bisexuals fit that profile.

All true but they ARE changing the landscape. Same as the women (so called feminists) have changed the landscape. All that female empowerment makes more victims.

I don’t get it. All this sharing and therapy and medication. And hugging. And victimhood.

But this is what is being taught as normal. The result being, it’s normal except for those of us who don’t think it’s normal.

They have already redefined masculinity and femininity.
