The No. 159 Rule of a Gentleman
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, you'll be a mile from them, and you'll have their shoes.

How To Hail A Taxi Cab Like A Man via art or manliness
how does this relate to 'being a man' at all, please someone tell me
― burberry kush (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 8 June 2011 16:07 (twelve years ago) link
ugh i dunno, i know it may be tiresome to call bullshit on this gender stuff ad nauseam but it bothers me that "competence at any task whatsoever" is somehow constructed as a "masculine" trait. really?

yeah, also, all those directions are completely obvious. i don't mean to be a jerk but how long does it take to figure out the off-duty cab thing? i guess i hail a cab like a man.

Realizing I was looking more and more like a dopey tourist, I gave up and decided just to walk to Katz’s.
Yeah, I could have taken the subway, but they’re fraught with their own complexities for the uninitiated.

For well-known places in town, like the Empire State Building or something, you can just tell the driver the name of the place. But for hotels, friends’ apartments, or restaurants, give the address or at least a nearby intersection of the place you’re going.
okay really?

200. There's actually only one woman. She has been replicating herself for untold millennia. Across the ages, her characteristics and needs and desires are exactly the same across all iterations of this single extant woman, incarnated in billions of variable forms. A man is a person. "Woman" is a breed.

idk at a glance like 60% of the articles on AoM are how to affect anachronistic or stereotypical masculine bahaviors, 20% are survival skills you will never actually use, and the remaining 20% are fundamental skills that anyone could benefit from but who cares because all that matters is that you can cook bacon...
