I regularly get shouted at to 'Grow Up' when l cycle.

karidebbink.bsky.social•31 days ago

Every time I see stuff like this it reminds me that these men are deeply, deeply insecure and weak.

karidebbink.bsky.social•31 days ago

And imagine depriving yourself of MILKSHAKES because you’re insecure! What a self-own!!!

testeria.bsky.social•32 days ago

When I put on a dress, this dress becomes a male dress. When they drink milkshakes it makes them feminine... what this tells you about their masculinity?

markelindsay.bsky.social•31 days ago

Why’d they get mad about paper straws then smdh

drjeffreyb.bsky.social•31 days ago

When did Jesse Watters become the expert on masculinity? Wasn't he Bill O'Reilly's lackey on his eponymous show? Also, wtf cares what he--or anyone else for that matter--thinks about straws, soup, or milkshakes? Now--off to have a nice milkshake whilst crossing my legs.

excelsiorsmith.bsky.social•28 days ago

Watters is such a lil bitch already. Now he's gonna make it worse for himself with this bullshit and get his card pulled in public. Somebody give him a hug, before he implodes from never being allowed to try on dresses as a kid.

excelsiorsmith.bsky.social•28 days ago

The current Klown Kar Kabal is lashing out. Like we’re witnessing a demon that is the manifest psyche of all the injured boys ever, now out for payback against every man bigger, better, and more accomplished.

Soup and milkshakes are damn delights, Jesse Watters can kiss my bumper.

cirrhosisoftheeye.bsky.social•32 days ago

Funny how the freedom, liberty, "don't tread on me" set has an inordinate number of neurotic micro-rules. What joyless miserable little lives they lead.

enirenberg.bsky.social•32 days ago

Literally though

cirrhosisoftheeye.bsky.social•32 days ago

Seems like they were mad about the tyranny of paper straws this last election and wanted their plastic straws back from the deep state Marxist straw police.
But now they don't want any straws at all!?
Some kinda psychosis these petulant children are awash in.

Nothing is more masculine in a fine restaurant than a good bouillabaisse. I will die on that hill.

laurajohansen.bsky.social•31 days ago

A Dairy Queen vanilla milkshake was one of the last things my grandmother asked for & ate before she passed in 2020 so I am *ready* to go very There Will Be Blood milkshake scene on Watters' ass

tsudhonimh.bsky.social•31 days ago

Cult level control!

killersumobunny.medsky.social•32 days ago

1st question : Where is that from? 2nd question : WTF?

cudd13fish.bsky.social•32 days ago

Sounds like he fell on a straw while showering and needs a trip to the ED for extraction, STAT!

pollhereford.bsky.social•32 days ago

As for eating bananas . . .

mjprigge.bsky.social•32 days ago

I didn't realize that not wanting to murder sea turtles upped my masculinity.

furacaochelsea.bsky.social•32 days ago

I'm going to be over here drinking milkshakes and I need someone who can keep up. Of course, a lot of these people are very post-woman in the opinions that matter to them.
Still, they'd be prettier if they ate more soup.

danieltuttle.com•31 days ago

I was unaware of any of these rules.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wonkish.bsky.social•32 days ago

He also said: "And one of the reasons you don’t drink from a straw is because the way your lips purse. It is very effeminate".

I think it comes from a deep insecurity about your masculinity (and sexuality, as these guys tie them together) and fearing that others will question it.

borisogon.bsky.social•31 days ago

I was doing a crossword last night, and one of the clues was, "What do you do when you use a straw?"

The answer was four letters long.

zoonotic1.bsky.social•31 days ago

Wait until one of these idiots needs an emergency tracheotomy at a restaurant and there’s no straws. Then we’ll see who’s tough!

hrh-sparklefart.bsky.social•32 days ago

He’s just jealous because his milkshake brings no boys to the yard.

roberts1955.bsky.social•29 days ago

Pretty sure rationality is not their strong suit.

ro6air3.bsky.social•31 days ago

The rationale is that people come up with ridiculous “rules” for various things just to show how gullible the idiotic public is. Oooh look! I got that dope of a man to stop drinking milkshakes and man spread instead of crossing legs. Yeah, a great accomplishment!!!

julieparsonnet.bsky.social•32 days ago

My husband, who is sitting across from me with legs crossed sipping from a straw, has flown 263 combat sorties and at age 71, could still ace the PT test and beat the $%^# out of Watters if he weren't such a sweetie pie.

Jesse Watters to men:

l-aurian.bsky.social•31 days ago

I remember offering clear lip balm once to a guy I was dating who was complaining about his chapped lips. He didn’t want to use it because I guess it looked too feminine coded. It’s such a self imposed prison. Btw it was amazing quality lip balm (fresh sugar) so he definitely missed out.

nih-llamas.bsky.social•32 days ago

The grifterbeast feeds on the unnecessarily miserable.

macloo.bsky.social•31 days ago

They are so fragile and so insecure, so fearful

andrewtanyongyi.bsky.social•32 days ago

A joke presumably? In this RFK Jr misinformation segment, neither he nor Hannity drink the shake, but Hannity compliments it 😂

davidstoesz.bsky.social•32 days ago

Warped by paternal shaming is my guess

seeadler.bsky.social•31 days ago

Jesse Watters: real men are utterly beholden to how others view them, and they should not do harmless things they enjoy if these nameless others might disapprove of it.

Jesse Watters is a fucking pussy, isn't he?

drlizgeriatrics.bsky.social•31 days ago

Sounds like performative masculinity to me.

saywhatwhonow.bsky.social•31 days ago

How do men get drinks with their fast food? Most of those come with straws. Apparently they just don’t drink fountain drinks?

onisillos.bsky.social•32 days ago

Why are these men so fragile!?

aliceporter.bsky.social•32 days ago

Same energy

matunos.bsky.social•31 days ago

don't forget grocery shopping https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/jessie-watters-asks-why-a-husband-would-grocery-shop-with-wife/

MORE SOUP FOR ME!

jbminn.bsky.social•31 days ago

NO SOUP FOR YOU COME BACK THREE YEARS

loveliberty.bsky.social•32 days ago

No shell fish or mixed fiber clothing

Beliefs apparently need irrational rules

kathleencarson.bsky.social•31 days ago

TBF, a lot of the religions' rules are actually about keeping safe. I don't know abt the mixed fiber rule bit most of the food-related stuff is food safety for a desert dwellinh people pre-refrigeration.

chadcrichton.bsky.social•31 days ago

I presume the straw/milkshake thing is a combination of homophobia (don't put something in your mouth and suck on it) and sexist power-obsession (you're a manly man in charge of manly adult things now and sweets and/or joy are frivolities meant for women & children).
The soup thing...I have no idea.

newbie-1.bsky.social•32 days ago

These people have no joy in their lives. Why do they want to make the rest of us joyless automatons as well? Is there some spread the misery social contagion I never learned about?

antonpnym.bsky.social•32 days ago

What a prissy, controlling son of a bitch he is.
