Oh, unquestionably so. We're very touchy about our bigotry here. But there's a similar stigma on men to appear non agressive. OK, it's not nearly as bad, but watch a few commercials that feature men. Men are usually cast as buffoons and drunks.SuperNova221 said:
Here's an intersting thought whenever there's violence between one person and another on television it's always between white men. A man cannot hit a woman, a white man cannot accost a black one.
Sorry but I must disagree with the basic premise of this thread. Most of the items in that list are things all adults regardless of sex should know. Once that is squared away, a simple guardianesque attitude is sufficient to keep the actually important part of the image alive.
That doesn't make it any less valid as things men should know. I have no problem with women knowing these things, hell I'd encourage it.Heronblade said:
I don't think we should assign things to sex's. It pisses me off that people should expect things from a sex. >_>
No I didn'tFlailing Escapist said:
I debated this one for a while while I was writing this, and I consider it a different skill set being able to talk to other guys, and being able to talk to women, it's practically a different culture, actually, no, it IS a different culture. And I hate to admit this one, but women can be scary to talk to.orangeban said:
So the list can generally be summed up as: absolute self-sufficiency.
Which, back in the day, people kinda had to be that way.
I would say this list is for both sexes to follow. There's a reason why women have gained equal rights and power in society now. I would say because they are no less capable than men. And, come on. A woman who could shoot, kill, gut, cook an animal on a fire she built herself? What's not to like?

Wow...I can pretty much do everything that is on that list...except 'Tie a tie'...I disdain suits...a striped hoodie with ripped jeans is more my style. Though my only musical talent is some basic Electric Keyboard and computer techno (That isn't really good XD).
Do you live in some alternate past that has the internet?Owyn_Merrilin said:Well, you covered most of it, OP. I actually came in specifically intending to say "use an axe," because in my experience very few people know how to do that, even though they think they do; however, you covered it. I guess I'll add "sharpen a blade with a whetstone" to the list before someone ninja's me on that too
Anyway, the ultimate rule of being a man: Don't be a dick. Unless, of course, you can be a dick and get away with it.
Ride a horse, sing or play an instrument or dancing seems pretty irelevant, although I see how that makes it easier getting in contact with women, but riding a horse doesnt really make you more manly in my oppinion.
One more thing. A man should know how to open a can and open a bottled beer without a bottleopener, that is two things that every man should know how to

Nope, just the woods -- and when it comes to my extended family, I'm the city slickerWoodsey said:Do you live in some alternate past that has the internet?Owyn_Merrilin said:Well, you covered most of it, OP.

I see, but that was a hundred years ago, we got cars now, no need to ride horses anymore... other than steel horses of course (motocycles)lemiel14n3 said:
