10 Traditional Male Gender Roles/Traits I Find Ridiculous And Refuse To Follow

Anonymous

Those are the kind of roles and traits I plainly find disgusting and I refuse to follow. Some of them are very popular in our days, and I believe it's something it should stop.



(In alphabetical order)


1) Man should be jacked


10 Traditional Male Gender Roles/Traits I Find Ridiculous And I Refuse To Follow

Unfortunately the last few decades, this thing is becoming more and more dominant. If you're not jacked then you're a wimp, you're a nerd and less than a man by other men who happen to be like that. No I'm not a wimp or a nerd or less manly because I'm not jacked. The problem is you. You're simple-minded to the bone, if you believe any guy who doesn't lift lacks manliness. And no I'm not jealous either. I'm not so superficial to go crazy in order to look like this.


2) Man should carry heavy objects

I'm not a porter to carry heavy objects. Those stuff are her own, so SHE should carry them. Carts exist for a reason. Or hire yourself a porter to carry them, if you don't want a cart.


3) Man should have grown a beard at least once in his life

Most ridiculous thing I've heard really. I don't really get how beard equalizes manliness but anyway. I find it really annoying personally, so I avoid it.


4) Man should keep the door open


10 Traditional Male Gender Roles/Traits I Find Ridiculous And Refuse To Follow

She's not disabled to not be able to open a door on her own, right? She has hands. It doesn't surprise me why some women feel insulted when a guy does that.


5) Man should never hit a woman


10 Traditional Male Gender Roles/Traits I Find Ridiculous And Refuse To Follow

If she wants a fight, she would have it. I don't want to appear as a chicken and back off if a woman has any desire to fight me. Why should I back off because she's a woman.


6) Man should offer his coat to the woman if it's cold


10 Traditional Male Gender Roles/Traits I Find Ridiculous And Refuse To Follow

I take it as, "Man should catch a cold, in order to present himself as chivalrous." . Other people are made for hot weather whilst others are made for cold weather. I belong to those who are made for hot weather. I can withstand temperatures around 100F/37C or a few degrees above (where I live such temperatures in summer are common), but anything from 50F/10C or below, it's something I cannot. According to some I'm less of a man, because I cannot withstand cold, but for me those people aren't the smartest tools in the shed.


7) Man should pay for all dates


10 Traditional Male Gender Roles/Traits I Find Ridiculous And Refuse To Follow

Absolutely disgusting. First of all restaurants are expensive as they are (you can eat the same food much cheaper at your home by the way), and secondly it's really stupid to follow this trait in our days, because women work now. It used to happen before, because women didn't work.


8. Man should pull off the chair for a woman to sit


10 Traditional Male Gender Roles/Traits I Find Ridiculous And Refuse To Follow

If there are women who believe a man is supposed to do this, you know what I would do to her? I would do this classic prank where someone pulls off your chair and when you're about to sit they pull it off even more, and you end up falling down! Guess she would deserve it, if she believes a guy should do this. She would think twice, about this pulling chair thing.


9) Man should wear suits


10 Traditional Male Gender Roles/Traits I Find Ridiculous And Refuse To Follow

Absolutely ridiculous. I don't have the body type to wear suits first of all, and they would look weird on me. And secondly they are very formal aren't they? I dislike formality in any form, so suits don't...suit me. I would not feel "me" anymore, it's a dressing code that doesn't represent me.


10) Man should work and woman should stay at home to take care of the kids


10 Traditional Male Gender Roles/Traits I Find Ridiculous And Refuse To Follow

First of all I don't want kids, and secondly this image is really really scary. For some reason this image of a guy coming home from work, and his woman has a meal prepared for him, makes me want to throw up blood.
