I'd...<i>maybe he is trying a little *too* hard...</i><br /><br />I'd agree with that too :)<br /><br />Our office seems to be powered by pop culture references for some reason. Sci-fi and showtune gags rub shoulders regularly.<br /><br />So real men don't want Mary Poppins?

I was about to leave the room and find a quiet dark spot to recover when our website went down and I had something else to take my mind off of it (nothing like total panic to make you forget).<br /><br />I've really never understood *why* people have such an issue. If I put something really right in their face that affects them, fine, but to have such a problem with it for no reason? I just don't get it...<br /><br />Thankfully I've never felt the need to prove anything, growing up in a 'not the best' part of Leicester that was actually a blessing in disguise. I had few friends because of it, but then most of the 'friends' would have got me a criminal record anyway... I managed to miss that :)<br /><br />StaceStacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907346657510908857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-59120527924906375932010-03-11T17:36:23.864+01:002010-03-11T17:36:23.864+01:00A lot of men who feel uncomfortable with anything ...A lot of men who feel uncomfortable with anything Gay or trans say things like this.<br />Somehow they think that if they dont emphasise how negative they are to it then it may effect there manliness.<br />I dont think they are completely comfortable in who they are.<br />Dont worry about him, he sounds like a moron!<br />xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-18528254302053996992010-03-11T17:02:02.822+01:002010-03-11T17:02:02.822+01:00"He's the one missing out if you have to ..."<i>He's the one missing out if you have to spend half your life denying things otherwise how can you be a man...</i>"<br /><br />Reading this again and thinking: What is a really good way Real Men can demonstrate their Real Manliness? Why, by being seen to be attractive to women, of course. Doesn't he realise that chicks dig blokes who aren't afraid to admit they know things like Mary Poppins lyrics? It's hardly difficult, after all if <i>I</i> can do it in bloke mode anyone can!

It always made me very uncomfortable, to have to listen to stuff lie that. I remember one guy lamenting that the son of a man he knew was becoming woman. He couldn't contain his disgust at the thought of it, and said that if one of his son's ever did that, he would disown him. I tried to explain to him that the the guy's son didn't choose to be that way, he was born with a feminine brain, but he wouldn't listen to reason. He was obsessed with being manly. So much so, that I often wondered if he wasn't hiding a secret himself.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600684740584460891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187164070937704663.post-86745756836657190672010-03-11T10:54:45.891+01:002010-03-11T10:54:45.891+01:00I'm with Mrs. Stace on this one.I'm with Mrs. Stace on this one.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027942517258679266noreply@blogger.com
