BREAKING! Cranky old man confronted by an idealized male physique in the form of Daniel Craig's James Bond, experiences hurt feelings over the fact that the universe doesn't revolve around his self esteem, writes whole big column about it. A waahmbulance has been called to the scene.
For American men in the 21st Century, entire swathes of the range of physical contact humans can enjoy are off limits thanks to social norms. Men just don't touch each other very much. Shaking hands is pro forma, hugging is borderline (its acceptability being largely dependent on one's generation), and for two…
There may be lots of benefits to living as a vegetarian, but apparently looking like a man (whatever that means) is not one of them. A new study found that people associate meat with manliness. The researchers did a number of experiments that explored people's metaphors about food, and they found the people rated meat…
Imagine for a moment what would happen if Mad Men's leading man, Don Draper, was struggling with something bigger than a coy grade school teacher, a Kodak pitch, or a wife on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Imagine if Don Draper was gay. And smitten with Roger Sterling.
Professional fighters are supposed to be infinitely stoic and fearless. But according to a new study, they actually experience fear like anyone else, and employ complex techniques to manage it. It's almost like men have feelings or something.
Welcome back to Guysourcing, where a panel of helpful gentlemen answer your questions. This week's question was the following: "When was the last time you got into a physical fight? What was it about and how did it end? Would you fight again — and if so, what would make you fight? And do you think being willing/able…
In theory, it's a good fall season for ladies on television — there are a considerable crop of new shows that are centered on women. The shows may not be good but at least they exist, we guess (must! stay! optimistic!). However, television's latest offerings haven't completely forgotten about the menfolk, and the fall…
What does it mean to be a man? No one really knows, but it makes for some damn good television.
Ships, cars, countries — people ascribe gender to all these things, even though none of them have genitals. But a new study reveals an even weirder mental habit — people apparently think of odd numbers as male, while even ones are female.
The girlfriend who gives her dude a clothing makeover is a well-worn heterosexual trope. But are dudes who submit to such treatment defaulting on their "masculine duties?"
Ever since I was told my writing was male, I've been concerned that I might be a man. Today, I decided to take a quiz.
If you haven't noticed that men are apparently sick and tired of women trying to force this whole ‘equality' issue on them, you're about to.
Ladies, don't make your men do womanly tasks. Performing women's work will threaten their manhood and fill them with rage and anxiety, which can only be alleviated by punching things. This is science.
On average, men die earlier than women. Is it because they're too busy being macho to take care of their health?
When the Oscar nominations came out, much indignation revolved around the omission of Ryan Gosling from the Best Actor nominees. Reading the reactions, I was struck by the remarkable chord this performer strikes with so many young women I know.
Nowadays, women are taking over the entire world. Geez, men. Get it together.
Although women make up half of the nation's workforce, they hold only 16.4% of corporate offices in the Fortune 500, 14.7% of Fortune 500 board seats and 1.6% of Fortune 500 CEO positions (Catalyst 2007). So what's new here?
This week Congressman John Boehner became the most powerful crying person in Congress. To celebrate, the New York Times has reviewed Boehner's tear-stained history, recounting some of the future House speaker's emo-est moments. Decline of manliness!
Reader Stephanie V. let us know about Brut's new feature on their website, Some Men Just Need to be Slapped. The…game (?) presents Man in a Towel, clearly meant as a parody of the Old Spice character:
"'We live in more of a pussy generation now,' Clint Eastwood told Esquire magazine last year." So begins Katherine Miller's rant on — you guessed it — the decline of manhood. Did you know that guys wear scarves now?
