That's simple. Growing facial hair isn't cool, it's facial hair itself that's cool.
Someone with a big walrusy Wilford Brimly moustache is cooler than someone who's working on growing a moustache.

Well groomed, long hair, like well-maintained, thick, stretched earlobes, communicate patience and the ability to finesse your way through difficult, potentially uncomfortable situations in service of a larger, long term goal. Unfortunately, you can be very patient at becoming an asshole as well as becoming a decent, well rounded person. Facial hair doesn't make you cool. Being a cool person makes you cool.

I also have a friend who, due to hormonal stuff, naturally grows an extremely thick and impressive beard and wishes that they didn't have to shave it (if they don't, they get hate crimed :( )

Happy bearded ladies are real. Upsets the hyperbreeding propaganda in my country though, so harassment and supression is real. But those things come from other people, not the beard growing itself.
Verified real complaints about sweaty
summer beard.
Also braids and beads sexy.
Also, intersex people are real, varied, and probably more common than red hair genotypes. Either ridiculed or fetishized, again not unlike ginger pigmentation.

I feel like at least half the men I see have at least a goatee (which I think look terrible) if not a beard (which looks good as long as it's not a neckbeard). I can't grow a full beard but sometimes I grow my mustache out for fun. It's extra fun because it's orange and people don't expect that. Not fun for my wife though because my facial hair is extremely stiff and prickly.
I think beards being "in" now has helped a lot of guys with their self image because they don't like the shape of their face.

"Only XYZ like ABC" is equivalent to: "Everyone who likes ABC is also an XYZ."
Since everybody likes at least something, there is no one who likes nothing. The statement: "Everyone who likes nothing is also a man" is true because the "Everyone who likes nothing" part results in 0 people. And it's true to say that everyone in a group of 0 people is a man. It's also true that everyone in a group of 0 people is not a man.
But other than vacuous truths, no sentence stating "Only man like XYZ" is true.

This woman likes set theory because she was involved in a set theory workshop:
But you're kind of right that it's not great that math is still a strongly male dominated field. There is not a single woman's name in the Wikipedia article for set theory, where I first tried to find a counterexample.
Also, you don't necessarily need set theory to arrive at vacuous truths. Logic is enough:
FALSE => [statement]
Still, I think vacuous truths are fun because they are meaningless. Especially because they have to be considered in math or else your carefully constructed proof becomes invalid.

Agree with the mansplaining angle. Passionate people like to explain, combine this with not being the most socially adept and voila you have mansplaining.
28
AnarchistArtificer @slrpnk.net - 11mon
I think there's a negative cycle also, where a male-dominated hobby where many people are not super socially skilled makes them more oblivious to some of the nuances that turn "explaining" into "mansplaining" (I.e. they are less likely to understand how their behaviour is making their hobby less welcoming for certain people), which makes the hobby more male dominated, both in appearance and actuality

Do you really think they're cool though?
I have hobbies that are very male-dominated, but I know they're not cool, and that doesn't bother me. I'm happy being uncool and enjoying my hobbies.
I think the difference is that some boys are unembarrassed about liking Joe Rogan, and make it their whole personality. You should feel a little embarrassed to admit that you listen to Joe Rogan. You should feel embarrassed that you're obsessed about WWE or UFC. But, it's not just male things. Niche interests, especially niche interests that are gender-specific are things that don't make you cool. Like, a girl who is obsessed with makeup tutorials on TikTok shouldn't think that makes her cool either.
Tomorrow's the SuperbOwl. If some guys are super excited about that, it's fine. They should just acknowledge that being obsessed with a sport played by other people isn't cool. It's as uncool as Warhammer 40k or... trains.

The price is daunting at first, but once you see people's army's and start seeing your own minis improve, it becomes a real hobby and you make it work.

It's worth it IMO.

If someone is an abusive, narcissistic misogynist then that's bad enough, don't gotta go there.

There's nothing wrong with a small penis, but misogynists usually disagree with that so it's a jab to say they have a small penis. I'm not making fun of the penis, I'm making fun of the misogynist who cares so much in a bad way.

I think the key is not "small penis", it's "misogynist small penis". You can't decide your penis (and side note, sometimes a below average penis is sooo much better to handle for the othet party than an oversize log that poses so many problems), you can decide to be an asshole though

only a sith deals in absolutes
Hmmm
Name one (besides there not being absolutes🅰
Urinating standing up. Its so much messier when you're a woman and writing half your friends name in snow with it is almost impossible.
She-Wee for the win!
When I started my transition, I always sat to pee, because standing made me dysphoric. Now I don't really care at all :)

Some obscure math, and obscure programming languages. I dunno, but it feels like no women would be dumb enough to devote tons of effort into things like haskell-adjacent languages.
Learning that language is probably too much of a haskell for anyone really.
That doesn't really stop people, though.
My absolute favourite thing is women doing things that "only men do."
(P.S. am a woman)
I do like me some role reversal 😏
That emoji disturbs me.
Anything to get your attention 😉
But my trainsssss
there’s girls who like trains, i’ve met them! reckon sometimes they’re less vocal bc mansplaining is upsettingly common in any male dominated hobby :/
Agree with the mansplaining angle. Passionate people like to explain, combine this with not being the most socially adept and voila you have mansplaining.
I think there's a negative cycle also, where a male-dominated hobby where many people are not super socially skilled makes them more oblivious to some of the nuances that turn "explaining" into "mansplaining" (I.e. they are less likely to understand how their behaviour is making their hobby less welcoming for certain people), which makes the hobby more male dominated, both in appearance and actuality
Hi, I am the girl who likes trains :3
Check out Blondihacks on YouTube. She's a hobby machinist who is currently building a working model Pennsylvania A3 Switcher.
Do you really think they're cool though?
I have hobbies that are very male-dominated, but I know they're not cool, and that doesn't bother me. I'm happy being uncool and enjoying my hobbies.
I think the difference is that some boys are unembarrassed about liking Joe Rogan, and make it their whole personality. You should feel a little embarrassed to admit that you listen to Joe Rogan. You should feel embarrassed that you're obsessed about WWE or UFC. But, it's not just male things. Niche interests, especially niche interests that are gender-specific are things that don't make you cool. Like, a girl who is obsessed with makeup tutorials on TikTok shouldn't think that makes her cool either.
Tomorrow's the SuperbOwl. If some guys are super excited about that, it's fine. They should just acknowledge that being obsessed with a sport played by other people isn't cool. It's as uncool as Warhammer 40k or... trains.
I think trains are cool? 😭
That's not really a specifically male thing.
My autistic aunt loves trains.
Germans had an obsession with them for a while too.
so being involved in man on man sex isn't cool? That's kinda homophobic.
edit: 'but women like gay porn' not gonna argue the semantics of 'being involved', or of any gay sex joke for that matter, with any of you 12 smartasses who wrote the exact same thing 👆👆🤓🤓🤓🤓
Gay porn is the second most popular genre among female pornhub visitors. Right behind lesbian porn.

Are you sure there are no women who find man on man sex cool?
Is there ANYTHING that at least a few women don't like? I doubt it.
You could literally say that about any demographic and literally any thing. Here's a Jewish person that thought the Holocaust was tops:

Edit: Second paragraph to be clear.
I could also figuratively say it. 🙃
nah there's girls who like it
someone clearly has never seen a grown woman fangirling over their favorite yaoi pair becoming canon
/s
It’s not the men exclusive part that’s the problem. It’s the toxic masculinity. Most of the latter are also mostly men.
Several of my ex's were very into that.
But do women like it?
Leather daddies (Tom of Finland style) are cool. So there's some things about man-on-man sex that can be cool.
Rogan isn't bad because a lot of guys like him (In addition to many women, mind you), Rogan is bad because he platforms right wing bullshit and conspiracy nutjobs.
Not just platforms them, but also outright approves or does little to challenge it/call them out.
Look, idk about you, but if you haven't played soldiers and tanks with a bunch of grown ass men, get yourself to a WH40k group and learn what cool is.
I refuse to believe that there are no women who enjoy Warhammer 40k.
personally, the only person i've known who actually played wh40k was a woman (she played tyrannids). i've been wanting to get into it since they introduced leagues of votaan, but it is a pricey fuckin hobby to get into.
The price is daunting at first, but once you see people's army's and start seeing your own minis improve, it becomes a real hobby and you make it work.
I've probably spent way more money on paint, brushes, and practice minis before I started on my armies.
It's worth it IMO.
I know a few women who enjoy 40k. But the ones I know enjoy it like how I enjoy it... Just painting figurines, making little dioramas, and pretending like we understand the rules while some smarter player gives up and just tells us what to do next.
I do too. I've never met them, but come on. Playing tanks with grown ups. What's not to love.
Paint your army, roll a bucket of dice, shout funny things. Play combat patrol, or just do a good ol beer hammer at a local brewery.
And then you're hanging out in your local shop looking at some Space Dwarfs and stroke up a conversation with a dude who starts talking about the Black Templars and how cool they are for defending the Imperium just like All of the Real Crusaders which is honestly kind of weird because the dude is fucking Asian?
That wasn't your damage, bro.
There absolutely are women who like Warhammer.
Historicals though... I've never seen a woman excited about fielding an army of Burgundians against a bunch of English. It can get worse... Napoleonics, ancient stuff...
“as a gay man…”
wait
no, women quite like us
Define only men like
Are we talking hobby scope or like alpha extroverted abusively insecure narcissistic misogynists with very small penis... rule
having a small penis doesn't make anyone a bad person, all your other terms are fair and objectively bad, but how do you bot realize you are potentially hurting perfectly decent people with the last one? I know its a widespread practice and that and I am not really mad about it, but it still amazes me how the insult is still used. If someone is an abusive, narcissistic misogynist then that's bad enough, don't gotta go there.
Think about your harmless bros with insecurity issues over this thing that doesn't make them a lesser person.
End rant, again not mad at you just a thought.
I apologize if anything I said appears judgemental or degrading. It was intended as I personally view people that are concerned with size like someone handed a fine instrument that is concerned about the recycling value of the metal and wood. Or, someone that compares movies and songs where they focus on brevity as a primary measure of performance benchmark. I will try to avoid the comment in the future
Yeah you know what this is so much better than my comment.
There's nothing wrong with a small penis, but misogynists usually disagree with that so it's a jab to say they have a small penis. I'm not making fun of the penis, I'm making fun of the misogynist who cares so much in a bad way.
Although it does come across like you say, so maybe I should stop.
I think the key is not "small penis", it's "misogynist small penis". You can't decide your penis (and side note, sometimes a below average penis is sooo much better to handle for the othet party than an oversize log that poses so many problems), you can decide to be an asshole though
As a man with a small penis, it's the second.
I think you can answer your own question. Either men will like it and their will be other genders that see the appeal or it’s an assoholic male hobby.
I've met women who like the most assholish of hobbies, like rolling coal and crossfit. I don't think this is a useful definition.
Unsupported by the logic at play. Just because some women like it doesn't make it cool
Is there a critical mass of women where it becomes cool?
No, think about scentsy
Excellent example.
No, the only thing that makes anything cool is being different confidently; Popularity is coolness' diagonal opposite.
I think there's truth in it either way. Although I can't think of many things only men like, expanding it to "anything dominated by an overwhelming proportion of men to woman" still works. I think they're more cringe than uncool though.
A lot of men I know like fatherhood.
Factually speaking he's one of the top podcasts out there, which includes women viewers.
Naked Gun! :O
To be fair: if only men think it's cool, women and thus at least half of the population think it's uncool
I mean, you can just be neutral towards or unfamiliar with something, so not necessarily.
Bladesmithing
The only people I know who are trained blacksmiths (all two of them) are both women
Well, we can safely cross that off the ever-decreasing list lol
