I don’t follow Minecraft YouTube much outside of what my daughter watches so I was under the impression he has been a big name for much longer than that.

Oh, whoops. Apparently it’s a common misconception. I tend to google stuff like this to verify, but when you google “Barnum money ignorance” you get an answer with some confirmation bias.

Any man who has to capitulate to other people’s conception of masculinity in order to be a man is already probably failing at being a man by his own standards. There’s nothing funnier than a guy trying so hard to be “masculine” that he emasculates himself by trying so hard to impress other dudes.

Yes, this should have been one of the points in the article. You know how you like to play with your phone or read something while you poop? Well, you can do that when you pee too. And if you’re one of those fragile-masculinity types who think that it makes you less of a man to pee sitting down, the good news is that…

If you ever leave a bathroom with the seat up, you’re a disgusting idiot. This has nothing to do with guys vs. gals. It had nothing to do with sitting or standing. It’s about not fucking flushing with the lid open like some sort of animal.

Special treatment?

So choosing to be considerate of other people by doing something that takes only a second is capitulating? It’s what I call acting like a decent human being. Does it really make you feel like less of a man? Because that’s what I hear when you say it.

The lid should ALWAYS BE DOWN when you flush, otherwise you’re spraying crap all over the bathroom.

Don’t do that.

I am a man and I have put both the seat and lid down every single time my entire life. Having the seat and lid down keeps the flushing in the toilet, keeps dogs from drinking out of the toilet and most importantly it keeps gravity and children from dropping things into the toilet. no brainer. 

Every now and then I still come across random dudes on the internet insisting that it’s somehow effeminate for a man to sit down while peeing, which seems like a weird hill to die on. I feel like there are dozens of ways for me to show what sort of man I am, and this really isn’t one of them.

I don’t think I want to piss while lying flat, face down, anyway.

The lid & the seat should always be down. When a guy needs to stand there to piss, he should lift the seat and the lid & then lower them both when he’s finished.

User name checks out.

Unlike me. I’m a great loser. I lose even when people think “there’s no way for this guy to lose in this situation”.

I wouldn’t Grantham parole either.
