Just a reminder that the US concept of "manliness" was invented in the early 1900s to sell razors, beer and movie tickets. It is not some ancient practice. It is a creation of ad execs.

I think my favorite part of every flight is during take off when the pilot screams “Bend to my will metal sky bird and take us to the big blueness!” and all the passengers chant “Sky bird! Sky bird!” To convince the plane to take off.

I don’t think it’s weird at all for straight dudes to say other men are attractive. I find many works of art, buildings and animals beautiful, but it doesn’t mean I want to have sex with them. Well, maybe some buildings. I’ve seen some real BILFs out there. .

Bebe took a toy pan out of my hand, not forcefully but still a take. Then she said UNPROMPTED “Oh wait, receiving hands!” and handed it back to me. She then said “may I please have it?” and held her hands out. In that moment, I would have given her anything she asked for.

Hey @McDonalds, might I suggest that y’all stop asking if kids are “a boy or a girl” in regards to Happy Meal toys? My kid likes horses and cars and it has nothing to do with gender. Just ask which one they’d prefer, toy A or toy B. Have a great day!.

Hey everyone, don’t do this. Pronouns aren’t a joke and this isn’t funny. Would you make fun of someone’s accent or name? Then why would you feel okay making a joke out of another aspect of their identity? Take it seriously, it costs you nothing.

Another Bebe moment: After she had been put to bed last night, she yelled "Daddy, I need you!" Normally she calls for Teresa, so I felt pretty special. I ducked my head in and said "What do you need buddy?" and she said "I need you to get Mommy.".

Made the bold parental move to show Bebe a picture of an x-ray of a skeleton inside a body. (She was confused about bones being inside us) Her response "OH! That is beautiful!" I was so happy it didn't freak her out. But now I am worried she will grow up to be a serial killer. .

Hey, this is some real dumb shit. Reason 1: there’s no such thing as “manliness”. Through out history, men have worn heels, nail polish, make up & lots of things many would call “feminine”. The modern concept of masculinity is less than 100 years old & was created by advertisers.

As a co-host of a manners podcast, allow me to offer some insight: Fuck Civility. Etiquette is the art of being your best self based on your own situation, not telling someone else that they are wrong. Bullies just don't like it when their victims stand up for themselves.
