Apparently if women like something, men aren't allowed to.

I just thought I should introduce some feminist rage into the thread since Vector isn't here to do it.

I also am a Christian, does this mean I get kicked out of the Progessive Party immediately?  :o
Yes, we will also call Christmas tree "winter tree", abort all your babies and ban straight marriage.

No, silly, it's a "Chrimbus bush", which you must keep trimmed and wet or else Winter Man won't... well, I forget the rest.

That was already mentioned earlier. I kinda understand what they were aiming for: it's advertise towords those insecure manchildren. It wasn't ment to be sexist, but it is regardless.

Something can be "masculine" without being sexist.

All they need to do is put some explosions or guns or something on the label.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I think it's being sort of self-aware of pretentious masculinity. That seems to be a trend going around.

Yeah, I think that it's a parody. It'd be pretty damn hard for a company to get away with that otherwise.

I don't know if I'd call it a "parody"; maybe self-parody? This is just my perception of it, but it seems that "masculine" culture is becoming sort of self-aware of its own absurdity, but hasn't quite moved past itself yet.

That's phallic, not masculine ;)

Phallic would just be a straight-up dick on the label. The explosions and guns would be, IMO, 'macho'

Phallic imagery is not just phalli, dude. It's not guns and explosions, it's cocks and orgasms :P

I'd argue that while it's possible for images of guns and explosions to be phallic, it's also possible for them just to be, y'know, guns and explosions.

I'd argue that while it's possible I might have been serious, it's also possible I called it phallic as a laugh, as the smileys implied, and that you are making this much more serious than I intended it to be.

Taking things seriously somehow makes everything funnier, for me at least.
