Reddit user hmansloth asked: 'Men of Reddit, what is a traditionally masculine thing which you are not interested in?'

One would think in this progressive day and age, a man wouldn't need to defend his "manliness" or masculinity.

Unfortunately, there are still far too many (mostly ignorant) people who have very antiquated standards of masculinity.


That being said, no two men share all the same interestes.

And even the most utterly macho men might not actually be interested in hobbies and interests people immediately associate with manly men.

Redditor hmansloth was curious to learn about all which traditionally 'masculine" things don't actually interest men at all, leading them to ask:

"Men of Reddit, what is a traditionally masculine thing which you are not interested in?"

Anyone who tells someone they aren't a "real man" for liking or disliking something clearly feels insecure about their own masculinity.

Mainly owing to the fact that a "real man" couldn't care less if they don't measure up to someone's standards of masculinity.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
