LOL!
I have -lots- to say on this subject.

90% of the men I see on a daily basis are wearing camo/flannel/t-shirts/jeans and work boots.
They have hats that sport the logos of farm implements/weapons/whiskies/motorcycles/trucks.
None of them own anything "pink".

Most of them have facial hair of one sort or another.
Hair length varies except for my dad who seems to think "shorter is manlier" to the point he's nearly shaved his head.
He does have a mustache.

At the opposite end of the hair spectrum is hubby who is blessed with a magnificent head of dark [getting salt and pepper now] wavy, thick Sicilian hair.
I think it would be a sin to cut it.
['course as you can tell by my "me" page, haircutting is hangup for me anyway]...:))

Before hubby took early retirement he was a welder at the local prison.
His boss resented the biker ponytail hubby sported and once said he "looked like a girl". [which is also disproved on my me page]
Hubby told the boss that anytime he felt ready, he was welcome to take him out into the parking and "try to put a dress on him".

The hair issue was never raised again.....:)


My bathroom is loaded with the innumerable accoutrements of femininity.
Hubby owns a bar of Ivory soap, a bottle of Pert Plus, a towel and a Schick razor.

All his clothes are black except for a few dark plaid work shirts.

His work shoes are Brahma boots and his "dress" shoes are black harness boots.

He's blunt, rough, crude and socially unacceptable amongst "polite society" and I don't think I've ever seen his big calloused hands perfectly, completely clean.
I wouldn't trade him for a million social milquetoasts...:)


[My ex was his diametric opposite. That is part of the reason why he is my ex]...LOL!

Nice hair!

Whenever anyone gives me grief for my "tail" (usually some conservative that thinks tails are only for libs), I show em the head of a quarter and point out that the commanding general of the Continental Army, and later 1st Prez of the US of A, sported one as well.

And then there was T. Jefferson, and Ben Franklin who were known to sport tails. They usually get the point.

After Moose4 and I got married and moved into our new place, I unpacked my toiletries in the bathroom. Two or three bottles of shower gel, some lotion, perfume on the counter...the usual. He bopped into the bathroom - and backed out with a horrified look on his face, proclaiming, "I'm living with a CHICK BATHROOM!"

I didn't have the heart to tell him about the stuff I hadn't unpacked yet.

Not that I'm trying to make him a sissy, but you should buy him a toothbrush and a tube of Crest. ;-)

God Bless You, Salamander; it Isn't That your "Man" MUST BE "Some sort of 'Neanderthal;' it's that the "Male" of our species be allowed to Function as " a Male!"

Over the Past two Generations, the "Radical Feminist/ Terrorists" have attempted to DICTATE HUMAN Sociology/Biology/Psychology!!

Their Problem Is, The "Feminist Fantasy" Doesn't coincide with the "Human Reality!!

Neither Men, nor Women "Correspond to" the "Belief Structure" of the "Feminists!"

Despite Their "Fondest Hopes," WOMEN & MEN are DIFFERENT!

The NEAT Thing Is,--The "Sexes are "Complementary!!"

WHAT A SHOCK!!

After a Gazillion Epochs of Development--Human Men & Women have been "Engineered to" "Develop Together!!"

"What a Surprise!!"

Men NEED Women--Women NEED Men; it's IN the Genes!!

Are we SO STUPID that we Cannot See This??
