                I will shake your right hand

See... there are these two sets of people and I belong to one of them, or so I'm told. Apparantly most everyone does, and those who don't really should. And there are and were things that go along with these.

Talking with Alex and he says that men don't know what they're doing as men

I have a large index of gendered culutural icons, so take a browse. I've sorted out the few okay ones from the not so okay ones.... A whole lotta sorting' that, mostly sorting into the trash on both sides, but it seems a little more trash on the male side.

                                          ¿What am I supposed to be doing?

The male roles are, unuseful, plusunkosher. Kings and knights and bandits and gentry and fisticuffs and bluecollar obselesced by Society XP™ if not actively defecated upon in conversation. This does not bother me in itself, but I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do. I'm supposed to pick a role out of stack M, but the pile's looking a bit anemic. Grandpa's doing the best, dad just isn't around, uncle got locked up with priest (who was not well thought of anyway) for reasons we shall not discuss, and people ore looking at male teacher in the same light. Brother's messy and kind of immature, so is son. Husband, a larger, hornier version of the last two, is the butt of sitcoms. Boyfriend is clingy or insensitive.

                                     I am missing the latest deck for Gender the CCG

I don't mind this. I just feel a bit lost when it comes to self-conception. What model am I supposed to follow?
           What about sex?
What genuinely feel-good male idioms are there for sex? Casanova? No (Anachronism). Stud? No (Jackass). Swinging bachelor? No (Aids).  Then what? The closest thing we have is, I guess, a hippy who may have seen his friends sprout fangs and sell stocks, but... makes up for it with(?)... salvages what's left through(?)... a toke and an egalitarianmoonbutterflyrainbowkarmarollinthesack now and then.
               - thanks for showing up, here's your towel and a gift certificate to home depot.

Fuck! Really! Or not! What now?! Who now!?

I don't know. More to come.

Goodnight.
