As opposed to wearing one because it would "maker me look silly."

I have noticed that younger folks don't wear masks, men and women. As I am mid-50's, I figure I would rather wear a mask than a ventilator.

I think it makes them look like Medical Professionals.

If you get creative enough you can turn them into Fashion Statements.

I can't wait until the banks open so I can wear a mask into the bank and say "Hand over my money." (Meaning MY money of course, not the bank's, just making a withdrawal.

But maybe they wouldn't think that was funny.

A bandana over the face would look VERY masculine. Maybe a leather mask? A Hannibal Lector mask?

Ooh an off topic link and run.

If you can't be bothered to explain the significance of a link, why should I care?

It just looks like random spam this way.

I thought the Title said it all, but apparently you need me to spell it out for you.
Not wearing a mask to protect others in the middle of a pandemic, because you think it makes you look weak, is the very definition of TOXIC masculinity.
But since this disease mainly kills, older out of shape men, they're mainly killing each other, so that's a good thing.
Nobody ever yells, "Save the old, out of shape men!" When the ship is going down.

Well, the site isn't a news feed.

The site isn't a gender behavior board.

It's off topic and doesn't serve the purpose of the site.

It's poor form for discussion boards generally.

So, by these guys' definition of masculinity, wearing a mask to help limit the spread of an infectious disease is weak while being able to sneeze and cough everywhere is a sign of strength?

Now I'll have to try and figure out if someone not wearing a mask is a virus denying idiot or has an ego fragile enough to believe the above statement.

I've noticed the same thing here in the PNW; with 'olders', the ratio isn't as pronounced.

our society is displaying a split personality on this. America has all these neat little sayings like 'United we stand' 'epluribus unum' 'from many, one' It's all an illusion, over half the country has spent the quarantine running around breaking the guidelines spreading germs (socializing w/o the mask), the other half is scared shitless sitting at home being really mad at everyone.

It's like a classroom full of teenagers, 1/2 the kids will close their mouths and do what they are told from the teacher, and the other half are throwing things around the room, yelling out of turn, jumping out of their seats.

What is the teacher (the prez) suppose to do? America is out of control.

Call our heavenly parents in for a conference. Because if it's not nipped the bud, this behavior will spread and pretty soon laws will have to be written, police hired, court systems set up and prisons built!!!

...oh, wait...

Speaking of "toxic masculinity:"

Cody Latimer just signed with the Redskins, was booked on charges of assault in the second degree, menacing, illegal discharge of a firearm, prohibited use of a weapon and reckless endangerment.

Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Ed Oliver was arrested in Houston, Texas, and charged with DWI and unlawfully carrying a weapon.

New York Giants' Deandre Baker and Seattle Seahawks' Quinton Dunbar turned themselves in at the Miramar Police.

Baker was hit with four counts of armed robbery with a firearm and four counts of aggravated assault, while Dunbar was accused of four counts of armed robbery with a firearm.

The pair were reportedly attending a party at a private residence last Wednesday when they got involved in an argument. Baker allegedly drew a gun and then directed Dunbar to begin taking money and other valuables from those in the residence. The police say that Dunbar collected more than $11,000 in cash, an $18,000 Rolex watch, a $25,000 Hublot watch, and a $17,500 Audemars Piguet watch.

Witnesses also told investigators that Baker ordered another person with a gun to shoot one of the partiers. No shots were fired during the incident, however.

Sure sucks to go without a paycheck!

Why a team with the racist name "redskins" actually exists is beyond me. And what's with the expensive watches ? People still wear watches ? Is it supposed to be some kind of fashion statement or something ?
I haven't worn a watch in many years and people know better than to argue with me about what time it is.
My job is dependent on knowing what time it is.

I saw a bumper sticker on an old pickup truck that said "No seat belts. We die like men."
I don't know if it was satire or if it was for real.

Haha, I love when I can't distinguish reality from satire, or irony.

Some people have a hard time distinguishing those. Just a hole in their thinking. Maybe they take themselves so seriously and they’re in such a hurry to respond to defend themselves – they miss the humor.

Not you. You’re a good chap in my book.

Okay, first off you need to understand the way of men. Real men don't want to look weak, and you need to stop sh*tting on men because of "patriarchy" and "toxic masculinity."
There is toxic femininity as well. It is stupid that they won't wear facemasks but you need to understand the way of men. And please stop with the toxic masculinity as well.

Toxic Masculinity?

The only thing toxic thing I see each day is the news.
It has more than enough toxin for man and woman alike.

But just like with the mormon church people can't get enough.
I guess toxins pay.

It easier than having to define people in terms of individuals rather than just labels to toss out so you can feel better about yourself.
