"Alpha Males" have officially lost the plot (Warning: Puke inducing)

I'm not going to provide any links, but a simple internet search will provide the backing for this post.


So, apparently it is "gay" now to wipe after pooping.
No man should touch his own....you know!!

Women are increasingly complaining about men who leave "skid marks" on sheets after intimate encounters, and men who just, um, stink in general.

The idea is that "real men" shouldn't need toilet paper because other animals don't use it in nature.
Needing to use toilet paper shows you have an "emasculated" GI tract. (What?!?!?!)

OK, I've had pets all my life and yes, generally there isn't a big problem "down there" but even my pets needed a little help once in a while.

WTF is wrong with these guys?

This is not a masculinity issue, it's a health and hygiene issue!

I need to go lie down and try to think happy thoughts for awhile......

Hand washing and showers are out. Other animals don't brush their teeth or wear shoes, and they don't wear MAGA hats or any other kind of hat. And they don't need no stinkin' forks for eating.

I mean, if you're going to do the alpha male thing you're a poser and a fake if you just do one or two manly things.

But from what I read they think they will turn gay if they wipe their asses so they don't.

I don't remember the exact sources but I read about it while looking into the anti transgender thing and how it affected voting.

It mentioned some other things like on Fox news some guy saying it was gay for a man to say happy birthday to another man if they were not related.

Alpha Males are nothing more than insecure little boys who were bullied by their parents into thinking that in order to be "STRONG" they have to tear down others. Just like TACO Don. The PERFECT example of what an Alpha Male should not be.

They don't need no stinking toilet paper. As a matter of fact, if it weren't against the law a real man would just shit in one hand and wipe it on his pants. Carry on.
