Men painting their nails

Why has it become normal for men to paint their nails, even "straight men"?

I've started seeing it in the last couple of years this increase of men painting their nails even celebrities and frankly it's disgusting. No idea what's behind it.

“Yeah I wear boots that look gay but I’m totally not gay!!!”

Bro get a grip. Who tf cares what other people do. It’s not “attacking your masculinity” lmao

 

Now, if you're a rockstar, you can paint your nails and do whatever. I'm talking about the average dude.

Rock N Roll stars and their fans violated social norms back then too.  That's the entire point of rock music.  If you were around back then you would be trying to ban videos of Elvis dancing.

I'm ranting again so I'll end with this - let boys paint their nails. Let them play with dolls. Continue to fail to provide a structure to grow into a man and then ask society why the boy kills himself.

Suicide is more complicated than what toys you play with as a kid

 

You see that professor in New York basically saying it's ok to be a pedophile? Insane.
 

But he's right. Pedophiles (or at least what mainstream media defines it as) are normal and moral. It's not unethical or unnatural to fuck a 16 year old, or even a younger girl who's already mostly through puberty. The age of consent in developed countries are as low as 14 (Germany and Italy). 
 

Wanting to literally fuck the brains out of a 14 year old girl who is mostly through puberty (and for all intents and purposes is biologically a woman) is perfectly natural. In fact, it's far more natural than wanting to be sodomized by another guy. Personally my age preference is 16-21 (legal in my country; the ivory towers of Britain), because I find girls younger than 16 too childish and naive to fuck without feeling guilt.

So in addition to being a racist and an elitist, BottomBucketHardo is also a pedo... nice

Give a boy a Tonka truck and dinosaurs and have him play sports. 99% chance he turns out straight.

LMFAO, you might want to doing some reading on the topic.  Please tell me you did not go to a target school.

I get so tired of this argument. It's just like the oh gay marriage has no impact on you why would you care.

Do you not realise that everything that someone does affects them, their community, and at large the country? We went from normalising homosexuality to legalising gay marriage, to the current situation with diversity recruitment, corporate pandering, cancel culture, degeneration of our society, kids becoming transgenders etc.

This all stemmed from "who cares what gay (LGBT in general) people do it doesn't affect you.

People have to realise that maintaining a semblance of normalcy and traditional values is what keeps a country intact or what causes countries to be what they are today. All your actions inevitable affect other people.

I can give you an example non LGBT related, this focus on individualism and not caring how your actions impacts your wider community is why you have the western world in decline. Companies and countries that would literally sacrifice their newborn for more profit or more economic growth result in countries like China having the US, UK, EU, Australia by the balls and enforcing censorship in these "free countries". Sure, you buying a chinese product or a company outsourcing their production to China doesn't immediately impact you, but more and more people having this thought process results in us being where we are.

 

Dude you realize that many ancient cultures were totally cool with LGBTQ right? Many Greeks were bi and it was normal, and they’ve advanced the human race quite a bit. The term lesbian originated from the ancient isle of Lesbos, where the queen was thought to be lesbian. It’s been around before the US was even around.

I have my index fingernail and middle fingernail painted pink. My pinky nail is painted brown. This is a visual reminder for me to always stick 2 in the pink and 1 in the ... well you know.

I'm having issues here.

I'm in my 30s and have never had any thought of painting my nails but don't see it as an issue.  For those of you who think it's a "my kid will be gay" argument, I've f***ed over 200 guys, and honestly, whatevs. I've bought a "manual transmission preservation society t-shirt and am flirting with the idea of buying a 95 Viper with this year's bonus.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
