Woman On Twitter Belittles Men Who Order Fruity Or Mixed Drinks And 17 People Come To Teach Her A Lesson
Nowadays, it could be argued that what we typically consider as feminine or masculine behavior has transformed into a more universal paradigm for both men and women. The concept of “unisex” is becoming more and more true to its meaning, and we do see an increasing number of people engaging in styles or activities that do not necessarily “traditionally” apply to their sex or gender. That is a great thing, as people can feel a lot more free about what they do and what they look like, which not only gives way to a greater feeling of social liberty and acceptance, but reduces insecurity as well.
Sadly, there are still people around who feel like lumping things into strict or “traditional” categories when it comes to sex or gender. And that’s usually not great for people who just want to do their own thing, because sometimes such “traditionalists” are quite intense with their communication and opinions. In today’s article that sort of person is a woman on Twitter who started a thread asking “as a man, why are you even okay with ordering a fruity or mixed drink?” Needless to say, a lot of people weren’t happy about that and provided some brilliant responses. Scroll down for the whole story and consider leaving a comment!

Fruity and mixed drinks are great—they are tasty and refreshing, but some people seem to think that it’s not a great choice for men

It sounds rather silly that something as simple as a beverage would be lumped into gender or sex categories, but some people apparently do feel that way. According to such people, there are separate drinks for women and separate drinks for men, which you shouldn’t mix up. That is as silly as saying that men or women are only allowed to wear clothing of certain colors.
Cocktails should be enjoyed by everyone equally, however, this woman thinks that they are not a “man’s drink”

So apparently, if you don’t drink straight spirits on a night out, you’re not a man. It is hard to say what led this woman to such reasoning, but stereotypes are probably to blame. Being a man supposedly has to do with roughness and enduring everything that’s harsh without blinking, which is simply not true. Men can, and do, enjoy sweet drinks, dye their hair and work as nurses. In other words, your choice of beverage will not make you less of a man.
The men of Twitter were quick to hop aboard the reply train, with the comment below being particularly savage

This comment here has one of the best points in the thread—fruit is tasty, so why should men steer clear of tasty foods and beverages? In case this needs to be answered, there is literally no reason to do so. Although stereotypes are powerful driving forces behind not letting groups of people feel free to express themselves or engage in activities that they like, I’m pretty sure that picking at what people can or cannot drink because of their sex or gender is just beyond petty.
It should be pretty clear that there is no “rule” as to what men or women can drink, and the following comments try to make it even clearer

It appears that, especially from the meme reply above, that men have to deal with this kind of stereotype-based shaming all that time. Being strong and masculine apparently has to be their greatest priority, and if you don’t fit the criteria, you’re no good, which is obviously nonsense.

All in all, please let men and women drink whatever beverages they feel like drinking in peace. We will do so anyways, so why give us a hard time about it, especially when there’s literally nothing wrong with that. And if you do feel like picking on a man for drinking a piña colada, check what you’re drinking first and don’t forget to follow the non-existent rules surrounding beverages and sex.
I'm a Beer Gal. Does that mean I have to drink only fruity drinks to be a woman? She only mentions Top Shelf hard stuff for men, so... She sounds like a gold digger troll.
She's obviously never had a tequila sunrise made with cheap, rotgut tequila. THAT'S HARD!
Load More Replies...BEST COMMENT ON HERE! Indeed !!!!!! Needs 100 upvotes, imho!
Load More Replies...I drink nothing but neat spirits because anything else is not manly enough. If I like the taste it is a woman's drink. As a man, I must only enjoy drinks that taste like disinfectant.
I'll have to start identifying as a man's man. I can't tell the difference between an 18-year-old single malt whisky and week-old straight-from-the-first-aid-kit rubbing alcohol.
Load More Replies...Washed down with a chaser of rhino piss. For that extra manly breath.
Load More Replies...Few things funnier than watching dudes drinking light beer try to make fun of other guys' drinks for not being hard enough.
Her third tweet was the result of her drinking several fruity mixed cocktails, right? Coz that entire thread was mangled gibberish.
Bc it was abbreviated and missing a few commas? Lemme help. "If you don't order Hennessy or D'Usse [cognac], straight up, like a man, tighten the flock up..." Y'all treat the internet like it's lit class sometimes.
Load More Replies...My ex loved amaretto sours w extra cherries. He would always get made fun of by other men. He wasn't a bigger drinker and that was all he liked. He paid no mind bc he was secure w himself. I always found it so weird that drinks are considered masculine or feminine. I love Black and Tan but only on draft I would always get some wise ass bartender that would say something like oh a man's drink you trying to grow hair on your chest and all that bull. Then I would tell them how to layer it bc they never did it right. I was a bartender for years if I didn't have a spoon to layer I used a cherry.
My comment is, what the hell makes this woman think it is remotely any kind of her business and why I would possibly care? Just STFU. And we need to hear that response a lot more with people who go around snooping into what harmless things other people do. No need to explain. No need to apologize. Just STFU Snoopy and Get A Life.
This is stupid and helps fuel stereotypes and some mens insecurities so they put up some archaic masculine front. When I owned a bar guys would order something like a Manhattan or a martini and not want a coupe for the glass. Fkkin James Bond drank out of a coupe. And let a guy make fun of a woman for drinking scotch on the rocks and see where that gets ya. A real man will be confident enough to drink out of Elton Johns headdress if the drink is good. Oy vey 🤦🏼♂️
One of these days, I'm going to be brave enough to not be the designated driver, and go in on an off-time so I can ask the bartender to make me something unique and special. I'm celiac so that limits the alcohol choices, but that shouldn't be a problem for a good bartender
As a former mixologist/bartender of 30 years, I could knock your socks off, with limited alcohol content. YES, there still ARE great bartenders. The GUY I trained when I left the profession . . . knocks ME off the barstool, when I go visit. He mastered MY master skills x 100 !!!! (Proud mama!) All non gender SPECIFIC!
Load More Replies...Hey, I'd love a babycham (think that reference wil only hit with Brits of a certain age)
I got around manly the hard way. After 60 years of various martial arts and now approaching 80 years of age i decided i am a determinator of what men do. Bring on the ☂️ s. Unfortunatly, at my age I have to watch the sugar and alcohol upsets my stomach.
Dear guys, enjoy everything out of fruity drinks you can. To me it only signals you guys ordering fruity drinks have good taste and selfconfidence! Prost!
Pina coladas are good… however I’m technically a teen and don’t drink so I have the virgin Pina Coladas
Yeah, she's another promising candidate for writing an AITA post in a couple of years abouth how her pos husband is treating her and the children terribly.
More likely it'll be her husband/kid writing the post when she removes their bedroom door as pununishment for something trivial.
Load More Replies...I love a good mixologist bar and a man who appreciates good mixology! Cocktails are fun, refreshing, wonderful magic and there's nothing wrong with anyone enjoying it! I have a medical condition and I'm not supposed to drink but I still go to bars and order virgin and they are delicious!
I'm in tune with @ehs06702 who sad she wouldn't wish beer on anyone. IMO, that would be mass-market watery American beer - the kind of beer for people who don't like beer.
INDEED! I'm even American, and a former bartender; we called that 'whiz water!' LoLoL>
Load More Replies...A man could drink whatever they are in the mood For, Just like us ladies!
men, is it unmanly TO F*****G HYDRATE WITH A TASTEY BEVERAGE?
I make good mixed drinks and my husband loves them. If you're looking for a good mix, jolly rancher soda and vodka (or everclear if you're broke and in need of stomach pain). Tastes like candy and gets you drunk without having to choke it down. Manhood isn't determined by drinking nasty stuff. Why can't we just let people like what they like??
Was wondering the same, because --- it's not like Cognac is at the manliest end of the manliness scale, if there were such a thing. On the other hand, the simplicity of having only two valid options (a super mainstream one and a newly-made-up one) is rather suitable for our limited thinking skills.
Load More Replies...Or take her clothes off. Bet she can't even spell half the chi chi drinks or know the the difference between Stolichnaya or Courvoisier except one's kinda brown and the other looks like water. So I guess Latin men never drink some of those fruity drinks. Id love to see her list of male rules for what she can eat a drink to maintain her feminine charm and alluring seductive bcharm. Stay smart my ladies. Spending a man's money to impress your snotty "influencer girlfriends" just makes you all look stupid the money you wasted (probably his) on Fix A Flat Butt and Breast implants, plus lips that exceed the inflation rate of any tire will catch up with you. But you hang in there. He knows the difference between real and a cheap knock off and doesn't give a dame about your opinion. He knows who he is. He ordered a Strawberry Shortcake Pina Colada with ice cream, shaken not stirred, for you. And he'll get you home in time for Pretty Pony or some stupid Kardashian infomercial for World Peace
Tell me you're a judgemental b1t¢h without telling me you're a judgemental b1t¢h
TheMoonMayor, Cesar Arrango, Matt Van Horn, & Shane Hope rock! IDK what a man drinks, as long as he's secure in his manhood
I have not heard such sheer nonsense, since when do alcoholic drinks have sexual connotations. Why aren't there bars for men where these Drinks aren't served to men and others for women who want only the fruity ones. This sounds sexist and stupid so you whoever made this statement must be also sexist and stupid! I know you will wear this title with pride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bacchus would beg to differ. Wine is a fruity drink. Even the Night Train she buys for her manly man. What else is not manly enough to eat? Her man has to raid the bathroom cupboard where the box behind her mini pads holds a mother lode of girly sweets. Candy necklaces and her personal favorite; Smarty Pants.
As a man I’ve been mocked for eating salads as well. Men are only allowed to consume straight liquor and steak I guess.
Meh I'll drink what I want TYVM. If you don't like it, you could buy, but if I don't like the taste, I may not drink.
People like her can be so judgmental about drinks in general. I am sober for 10 years now. I typically order seltzer water. Sometimes people say, you should put some syrup in so it looks like alcohol. I really don't care what people think about my drink. Why are they so worried about what others think. It's bishes like her that have nothing better to do.
That picture of the red drink looks like a glass of ketchup to me. Let the man drink his fancy ketchup.
I'm a large, hairy, bearded, middle aged man who wields sledge hammers and a very large axe all day. I went into the bar on Saturday night and asked for the "most girly" drink they had, just to annoy a friend of mine who has a very similar attitude to this. It wound him up terribly, and amused me immensely.
I t was a rather nice pink gin, they even found me an umbrella.

Let me make you a real/original daquiri and then we can talk. i.e. 1 part 2:1 simple sugar, 1 part lime juice, 2 parts white rum. shake it with ice until your arm is tired then shake some more, then strain into a chilled martini glass. i'll drink what I like and got nothin to prove to anybody. BONUS recipe for those interested (this is wife's favorite): Lemon Drop: 1 part 2:1 simple sugar, 1 part lemon juice, 1 part vodka. shake with ice until the shaker is too cold to hold anymore, strain into chilled martini glass rimmed with sugar. seriously, try it, good stuff man.
The only way I can stomach alcohol is in a Pina Coloda. The sweetness covers the taste of what I presume is alcohol because there is an undercurrent flavor that is in every alcoholic drink I've ever had... beer, champagne, mixed drinks, etc. Tastes like, I presume, p*ss and is the main reason I have had less than a dozen drinks in my life.
This comment is ripe for the ol’ “what if the tables were turned and a man tweeted something sexistly condescending and stereotyping women”…what women are allowed to order and what they were allowed to like. And if they don’t order “some cutesy goofy drink like a real woman, loosen up dawg wtf”. What double standards?
