    Skinny jeans, crossing your legs, using an iron, shaping your eyebrows, and even eating soup are among the things he derides as too feminine.

    DUDE!
    If your super-manly-manliness is fucking threatened by… eating soup… you’re not manly at all, you’re just fucking pathetic, weak-sauce and insecure.
    It’s like trying to be “cool” by telling people how cool you are, you defacto are not.

    My grandad ate soup every fucking meal after he came back from slapping nazis halfway accross the world, running uphill into fucking machine guns and he was more manlier than these shit-stain-producing-troglodytes.

      Lmfao soup…? Like, a roasted butternut squash and garlic soup, mounted with locally sourced fermented butter and a dash of sherry? Fucking hearty as shit and delicious? That’s unacceptable? I will fucking fight you, you wilted fucking parsnip.

      It’s all about the fragile man feeling like people will think they are less of a man for arbitrary reasons.

      The real question should be, “how can I gain more control over my life?”

      … but that requires actual work. It’s easier to just not eat soup and to wear baggy pants.

      Ya wtf is wrong with soup. I make some bomb ass bacon and potato chowder. I have a fajita steak soup that will light your asshole on fire. And it’s fucking blasphemous downright unamerican to hate chili.

      As a Nebraskan chili and cinnamon rolls are a staple of our winter diet.

      I take more pride in preparing soup than i do grilling. Grilling an idiot can do. Soup takes skill

        I love all kinds of soup and it’s the one type of meal where I can truly go insane with the amount of hot sauce I put in it. An amount that would probably make these soup-hating boys cry.

        Can you share your recipe?? I love chowder and I can’t say that I’ve ever had fajita steak soup — sounds amazing!

          Not at home this weekend. Can’t remember amounts but AI might be able to help you. Crockpot 8 hours on low. Chicken broth, onion, potatoes, bacon, ham if you want it, add cream cheese 30 minutes before it’s done

          Crockpot Thin slices steak chopped, beef broth, beef bouillon cube, tomato paste, corn, black beans, onions, finely chopped green and red pepper, jalapeno, packet of fajita seasoning, chili powder, and cayenne pepper to your liking this is what you will want to be careful with. . Edit and diced tomatoes

        Is chili really soup or is it stew. I’d say that the best chilis are stew not soup. A technicality perhaps.

      Maybe not winning a war since your grandad kicked ass WWII, even though trillions of dollars were spent, thousands of US lives lost and millions mamed physically and mentally, has hurt their fragile egos.

      I believe this shift to fundamentalist religious ideology in the US is overcompensation for what they saw in the Middle East where those folks stuck to and depended on their culture and beliefs to survive and when the soldiers returned they just saw fat fucking, lazy relatives complaining about everything.
