As a man, I have never been "proud" to be a man, I mostly feel ambivalent about it, it is who I am, I'd rather be proud about my actions than my gender.

I will make no secret about how I don't really understand transgender people, it used to annoy me, but since about a year or two ago I realized that it doesn't matter to me, and it apparently matters a lot to them.
So I stopped caring enough to be annoyed, I realized that if they are happy and it doesn't hurt others, then I have no reason to make their day worse.
To all trans people, I may not understand what you feel, but I will not be a dick about it, my confusion is my own issue and I will do my best to not make it yours.
He's proud fucking men. Good for him.
Some people would have just cut their hair to give the societal cue about their gender, but I give this guy credit for making a special pronoun vest instead of conforming.
(Not only) Metalheads will give you a weird look for such statements.
According to the handkerchief code, he's a bottom that gives handies
TIL the LGBT scene is gatekeeping out the colorblind
I used to wear a black kerchief around my left wrist when I was hiking, for wiping sweat and washing face, TIL I'm a strong SM top when I'm on the trails. Not quite sure what that means but I'm willing to learn.
I had a yellow one sticking out... and found out about the codes that evening.
Do you need a hiking buddy? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Always! I can even carry some of your stuff, I'm quite strong and experienced!
That's some real top energy right there
It means you're a dom
His vest says he's proud of fukin' males. So, that checks out.
I think being bottom is about getting fucked.
New drag king fit just dropped:
That's a very complicated way to spell "insecurity".
No. As pointed out elsewhere; check the handkerchief.
These idiots take other people being proud of who they are as a personal attack against males. I debate if it's insecurity or ego to think it's all about them. You can be proud to be male, it's just kind of dickish since society has literally never cared about you being male.
In a hyper-individuelistic society where everyone is constantly being compared and judged, the feeling that you're better than everyone else brings incredible relief. Of course the concept of being better than others is deeply flawed but you never learned to question these things. So how do you achieve the feeling? Study hard, lift others around you, save your money. Sure, but that takes years, and it's hard work. So what if you're inherently better than others-- that solves it. Race, language, gender, nationaliry.. All things that cost you no effort. There's another shortcut to these feelings. All you have to do to in order to become better than most of the population and get into to heaven is say that you believe the Bible. That's it. Just gotta say you believe it and you're in the club. Zero effort, all the dopamine. Supporting some sports team. Buying a particular car. Using what you buy to signal to others something about you. Bumper stickers, adding a ribbon to your profile picture, posting some cringe on LinkedIn, attention seeking on your birthday.. All attempts to showcase how excellent you are with minimal effort.
So if your entire sense of self worth is based on attributes about you which you were either born with or cost you no effort, you'll want to support anyone who places importance on those things. Nationality, consumerism, race, gender, religion, etc.
I do find it quite weird when people claim to be proud of something for which they did nothing to achieve it. Like, his shirt literally says that he was born male. I guess, he did manage to get successfully born, so uh good job?
I mean chance/luck is a huge part of everything. Sure you can nudge things a bit here or there but you really shouldn’t be proud of anything you “accomplish” if you think about all the luck involved.
It's a last resort.
Nationality, race, sex all are things that can't be taken away from you. Even the lowest of the low lives still can look down on mexicans, blacks, women because at least he's not that!
Attacking these last resorts by making them not matter, is an attack on the flimsy sense of self worth these people have. You can't be proud to be a man if it doesn't matter that you're a man.
I’ve never been prouder of that time I rolled 2 dice and got 12. A breathtaking, crowning achievement where all my years of hard work or education or whatever paid off.
You should now lecture others (who can't even afford to buy 2 dice) how you did it and they can do it, too.
Are we gonna run right passed/past (I'll never get it) this motherfuckers surrender flag holster?
Past :)
Passed is the past participle of pass, ie a verb. Umm... Sorry if that second "past" just confused you more.
Fukin
What a fucking pussy he can’t even spell fuck out
He tried his best.

You're not a man until you've had a man
There was that meme that I read that I can't remember but paraphrasing.
How straight people will never ever be 100% confident they're straight. But if you sex a person of the same gender and don't like it, only then can you with no uncertainty, be 100% confident you're straight.
Even then it might have been the wrong person. I never felt attracted to another man so far but how can I be really 100% (!!!) sure there is not 'the one' out there unless I meet them all? :D
What if you did that and kinda liked it, but the uncertainty is still there? Asking for myself.

"The lady doth protest too much"
"The lady doth protest too much"
"The ~~lady~~ male doth protest too much"
Edit:
if people don't like this comment in context to the post I'm willing to take it down
The male version of lady would be gentleman though...
It might be easier for people to understand the context if you quoted more of the original image, like
The "proud fuckin' male" doth protest too much
The door on the closet this guy is trapped in is shaking on its hinges...
He/Him, but also asshole
Ass/Hole
I bet this male has never interacted with a left leaning person his entire life and is just wildly swinging.
I guess this guy doesn't like to get misgendered
