It keeps us from the rich connections with others

Some girly-men simply cannot grasp the emotional depth of the Three Stooges. Or taking a leak outside the tent during a hunting trip. Or drinking beer and eating a bunch of little smokies in BBQ sauce while watching a football game.

"Or taking a leak outside the tent during a hunting trip."

Hah! Real men just take a leak inside the tent. Only wussy boys go outside. Ah...the smell of urine-soaked sleeping bags....

Right on, DB!

If you like hunting, football, beer, and barBQ, that's for you. If you don't, it's not. It has nothing to do with masculinity.

Personally, I hate hunting, don't like football, like beer, like barBQ sauce but not the meat, and love camping out or just being in the wilderness.

All men are different. So are all women.

On the other hand--pardon the metaphor--there are biological concerns with taking a leak that are distinctively masculine, and these demand certain social distinctions.

For example--men can do it standing up, which is very convenient. It also enables us to avoid certain complications like poison ivy dermatitis or snake bites that women cannot as easily avoid.

On the other hand, I've been hit with a really bad poison oak dermatitis--for distinctively masculine reasons--that no woman could ever experience (for one thing, she wouldn't have the anatomy).

Ever notice how much men urinate in the wilderness? I've wondered if this is the same thing as marking territory, like the animals do.

Message to Brothers: Be very careful if there's poison oak around.
