stupid people

For too long, we have taught little boys growing up that expressing emotion is for girls and that real men are "hard." We excuse outbursts of violence and anger under the guise that "boys will be boys," creating a culture of toxic masculinity. The result is a new generation of men that feels the need to prove their "manhood" to feel accepted by society. Of course, this attitude is detrimental to their own mental (and often physical) health and those around them. I'm sure you've seen plenty of real-life examples of this, but a Reddit thread asking for the dumbest things people have seen a man do to "prove" their "manhood" has revealed just how prevalent toxic masculinity is. Read on and dispair!

Yikes. These are embarrassing.

There's really no other words for it. And we can't decide which tweet is the dumbest, they are all equally dumb. 

Oh, Twitter. Where would we be without you? 

You'll read these complaints and think to yourself, "can people really be that dumb?" Unfortunately, If you've ever worked in hospitality you'd know that, yes, these are entirely plausible. 

"No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared." Really? No one told you that their would be fish living in their natural habitat -- the water? Really?
