So, today we collected a full-blown list of such statements that are both amusing and enraging. So, before diving in, be aware that you might get exposed to some rather dumb declarations here.

Flinch when slamming a hammer on their fingers, cry about kneepain when working on their knees for the entire day without protection, cry in general and the most funny thing is that this was told to me by a woman.

Apparently, real men don't speak about anything of consequence or value. My brother was going through an awful divorce. I called him at Christmas that year to see how he was doing since it was his first Christmas alone. For calling to check on him, I got called gay, a woman, and was told that I was soft like a marshmallow peep. I was so furious that I hung up the phone. About 3 months later, I called to explain why I was so irritated. Rather than apologize, he tells me about some movie with Robert Duvall and Kevin Costner where they drive cattle and are about to get in some gun fight, so decide they should exchange names for the first time. He cited that as the pinnacle of how real men act.
