“I Get Called Gay For Doing That”: 35 This ‘Real Men’ Would Never Do, According To Women
Some people have wildly different understandings of masculinity and what it means to be a “real” man. These attitudes can put a lot of pressure on folks to fit certain stereotypes out of fear that they’ll be left out. When, in reality, “real” men do whatever it is that men do, from growing flowers to crying.
After going on a slightly bizarre date, internet user u/Bikini_baby767 sparked a candid and important discussion on r/AskMen. The members of this popular online group opened up about the times that they’ve been called out for not being “real men” while doing completely ordinary things. Scroll down to see what they’ve experienced.

I plant flowers and plants too. I had to manually dig up and contour my own flower beds, which is hard manual labor. Then every year I remove the old top soil, shlep in fresh nutrient soil and mulch, use it to plant the new plants, etc. What is not manly about that? Plus the results look nice and you show it with pride

Toxic masculinity is a narrow group of characteristics that have been traditionally associated with what it means to be a “real man.” Often, these attitudes are damaging not only to the individual’s mental, emotional, and physical health, but they also have a negative impact on the people around them.
To put it bluntly, toxic masculinity is when men are pressured to be aggressive, competitive, selfish, and violent. They’re expected to dominate, take risks, and be promiscuous. They’re also expected to hide “feminine” qualities such as being emotionally vulnerable, asking for help, or showing their true feelings.

I used to think the two Bs (bunts and booze) maketh the man, all because of peer pressure. After nearly hacking out a lung on my first cigarette, one of those notions died pretty much immediately. I did enjoy booze for a bit until I realized all it did was made me rush to the nearest bathroom for a #2. Nowadays, wine just does it for me. I did experiment with weed for a bit but ultimately decided against investing in it because a friend told me about dependency issues that may develop in the long run.

smoking causes impotence. I'm not just saying, it is a medical fact.
Vulnerability can be a powerful way for you to connect to the people around you. Human beings respect each other more when they’re authentic and honest, instead of trying to put up some sort of front.
The irony is that by being open about our weaknesses and embracing our flaws, we actually end up becoming emotionally stronger and more accepted. If, on the other hand, we try to hide our insecurities, we can come off as untrustworthy or “fake.” Alas, even in this day and age, many men are still expected to “just deal with it” on their own if they’re struggling with anything.

Correction, not "women" but "insecure immature women". It's an important distinction.
Page intentially left blank 1 year ago
Please do try to not paint with so broad a brush. Not all women do this. Some are pretty level-headed, actually.
It’s hard to build any real connection—or even foster a brotherhood of sorts—if everyone’s constantly avoiding talking about the truth out of fear of “damaging” their reputation or being ostracized.
If you’re struggling with your mental health issues, the rational thing to do would be to ask for help and support. That way, you instantly jump to solving the problem. And that’s much more efficient than suffering alone while putting up a facade of nonchalance. Similarly, if your health is suffering, the logical thing to do is to immediately see your doctor. If you try to ignore the issue or pretend that it’ll all go away on its own, you’re only harming yourself more.

Try being vegan and see what these jackass's say. I laugh it off any time.
Moving away from a culture of toxic masculinity toward healthy masculinity is a long process. It takes years of education to get people to accept the importance of things like vulnerability, emotional intelligence, and embracing who we are instead of fearing social backlash.
However, on an individual level, everyone can foster healthy masculinity. And it all starts with self-awareness. You can try to catch yourself whenever you start judging someone based on stereotypes. Meanwhile, you can encourage your social circle to open up and feel safe around you by showing that you’re not scared of being vulnerable either. Slowly, that should build a shared environment of trust among you, your friends, and your relatives.

I'm a woman and my opinion on this is if a woman can hit like a man then she can BE hit like a man. Too many women get away with physically abusing a man because they use the "But I'm a GIRL!" excuse. If it's abuse when a man does it to a woman then it's abuse if a woman does it to a man.

I don't know a single sport that requires you to be as big and muscular as possible. Even in, say, football (american style). Being big may help you overpower someone, but if you're just a block of solid muscle you're not going to be very agile or quick. Also, how do you scratch your own back? lol

Had someone tell me it's cringe as a man to live with your parents as an adult, but it's perfectly fine for women to live with their parents as an adult as long as they want. Always been a weird one to me. Like, so I fall on hard times and my parents want to help, so I guess I'm no longer a man 🤷.

Don’t judge someone if you don’t know their circumstances. It’s understandable for a parent to help their offspring, no matter the age. And if I hit a bad patch, and someone who cared about me wanted/could help, I’d have the good grace and gratitude to accept. My sister’s ex, on the other hand, is nearing 40 and has never even explored the idea of finding his own path away from his mother. (It’s a slightly weird dynamic)

"You need to grow a beard." "You need to get some tattoos." Because *real men* grow beards and get tattoos. Funny story -- I had a buddy who was single and a female friend who was single. She liked guys with tattoos, and my buddy had many. The three of us are hanging out, but I could tell they weren't connecting. I talked to her later on and she explained that he was all right, but she didn't like all the tattoos he had. I pointed out that she liked guys with tattoos. She further explained that while this was true, he "didn't have the right kind" of tattoos. My friend had tattoos relating to comic books, and she found that to be a turn off. She even went so far to say that "real men" don't get tattoos like that.

It is called respect, and caring about her, if not for yourself. Drunk sex can very easily lead to a lot of problems and or misinterpretations. So a smart man puts his own desire aside (if he even has that desire) and postpone the act til the timing is better, and he is absolutely sure that she can make a proper decision and that he 100% has her concent. It is a simple act of selfprotection, as a misunderstanding caused by her being to drunk to communicate clearly, can easily have him jailed for a long time for a sexual assault

My son is 18 now and we all went kayaking last summer and watching the whole gang, me, my son, my friend, and his two daughters regularly stop to reapply made my heart and skin happy.

I wouldn't approach some random woman's friend at a bar. She said that I wasn't a "real man" and I was "obviously gay." The backstory was I was out with a few friends having dinner and a few drinks. At the time, my mental health wasn't the best. I was stressed from work, had some personal issues, and I wasn't in the right head space to date anyone. This random woman comes up to me and tells me her friend thinks I'm cute and wanted to meet me. She then proceeded to try and convince me to go over to her table and talk to her. When she realized her first attempts weren't working, she then began berating me, and making false assumptions, I guess to save her friend's ego.
