Being a modern man today is no different than it was a century ago. Its all about adhering to principle...
1. When the modern man buys shoes for his spouse, he doesnt have to ask her sister for the size. And he knows which brands run big or small.
8. The modern man uses the proper names for things. For example, hell say helicopter, not chopper like some gauche simpleton.
9. Having a daughter makes the modern man more of a complete person. He learns new stuff every day.
10. The modern man makes sure the dishes on the rack have dried completely before putting them away.
12. The modern man checks the status of his Irish Spring bar before jumping in for a wash. Too small, it gets swapped out.
13. The modern man listens to Wu-Tang at least once a week.
16. The modern man lies on the side of the bed closer to the door. If an intruder gets in, he will try to fight him off, so that his wife has a chance to get away.
20. On occasion, the modern man is the little spoon. Some nights, when he is feeling down or vulnerable, he needs an emotional and physical shield.
25. The modern man has no use for a gun. He doesnt own one, and he never will.
26. The modern man cries. He cries often.
27. People arent sure if the modern man is a good dancer or not. That is, until the D.J. plays his jam and he goes out there and puts on a clinic.

I thought leftists didn't believe in chivalry? I was once told by a proper old English woman, that per 19th century custom, that contrary to entering a room, a man always should enter "the lift" first, one, to be sure it is there when the doors open, and two, to be certain it does not crash to the ground with a lady aboard.
Right, the “modern” man is so in touch that he’s being taught by a child... because she’s female! Stupid.
I’m not sure who Wu Tang is, but I guess he’s not a gun owner....

The modern “man” allows a woman to define him in 27 points.
The (NYTimes’ version of the) Modern Man is a simpering, pussified weenie dominated by women, celebutards, and similarly pussified beta males who write for the NYTimes.
I would take advice on manliness from a Times hack about the time I’d take beauty advice from Hillary Clinton.
By the way, these are LIBERAL “modern men,” which is why liberalism doesn’t stand a chance when the shootin’ war starts.
OMG! I fail on all accounts! I might as well crawl up into a ball and die!
After I put a new roof on the well house.
After I clean out the barn.
After I fix the plumbing.
After I rewire the shed.
After I build a set of book cases.
After I mow and clear the lawns.
After I feed the horses, dogs, cats.
After I work steel in the coal forge.
After I weld parts for the tractor.

Oh wait! I’ve already done most of this! I guess I am a failure at the rest. Time to die. But I just can’t!
The “modern” man isn’t a man at all, just a pajama boy with a purse.
Real men think Wu Tang is something that Chinese astronauts drink.

And I'm guessing your dog takes care of fetching the paper as well, so you don't have to amble half-naked down the driveway every morning to scoop up a crisp paper.
