30. "real men"
Fri Jun 5, 2026, 05:46 PM

Although I personally agree with Talarico, I think that the term "real man" is pretty much subjective and ambiguous. I'll be 80 this year and I've heard it all: "Real men" can hold their liquor. "Real men" join the military. "Real men" drive pickup trucks. "Real men" love contact sports. "Real men" keep their women in line. "Real men" don't have sex with other men. "Real men" never walk away from a fight. "Real men" aren't ballet dancers. "Real men" have big balls. And so on. Again, I'm with Talarico on this one.
