I thought about this thread at the Drab Majesty show, where I saw a couple dudes wearing tactical kilts. I wanted to ask them about their EDC sporrans. Also a lady with Sisters of Mercy logo earrings, but that's off-topic.

Thinking of starting a skincare range, for men. To market it to men, the main ingredient will be gravel.It will contain microparticles of gravel, or "microgravel".I'll call the product Mangravel.— twitch.tv/Limmy (@DaftLimmy) August 18, 2019
The packaging will say "Are you man enough? Man up. Call yourself a man? You're no man"— twitch.tv/Limmy (@DaftLimmy) August 18, 2019

Dove makes soap marketed to men, I've bought it when it's been on sale. The packaging design makes it look like Starcraft soap. I think they also know that men think if they use all the various products by a single company they will, like a video game's set armor, get additional charisma and strength buffs.

I am not a Jeremy Renner fan at all; this Jeremy Renner Store exclusive launch on amazon's front page seems like a parody.

Re: the fifteen seconds of that video that I watched with the sound off, there are times when I find it difficult even just watching men being the way that they apparently feel they're supposed to be. Like maybe engage one or two times in a genuine, vulnerable interaction with another human before foisting yourself onto the world, brah.

That video I just posted? I like the first 6 minutes a lot. I’m not familiar with the channel; he plays lots of different characters, apparently.

I bought some Dove for Men soap today, because some doofus was standing in front of the regular Dove soaps spacing out and I had melting ice cream in my cart. But I like it! It's charcoal and clay so I am assuming it will make me a better, more exfoliated artist.

Would anyone recommend a current (or not, doesn't really matter) text on the role/state/'problem' of masculinity? Context: we're trying to find a coherent approach in school and I want to be up to speed with current thinking.

The recycled prison steel dutch oven is actually pretty cool, but in a "upcycling is fun pseudo-ethics" way and not a "ONLY THE MANLIEST POTS FOR MY INEDIBLY SPICY MAN CHILI" way. My partner, who is a lady, agrees.

Jared Yates Sexton has some essays and a book that might work for class. (He’s also doing a fireside chat with Henry Rollins about masculinity at this fall’s Chicago Humanities Festival.)

Thanks for the resources. I probably wasn't clear - this isn't really for the classroom (at least, not initially); it's more about trying to get a sense of the landscape and how we might tackle the gender gap in performance.
