@jensorensen@mastodon.social I think it’s good to openly judge people play-acting manliness with rhetorical jujitsu. E.g. “Oh, you’re carrying a gun? I could never. I wouldn’t want everyone thinking I was a coward.” Some might say that’s manipulative, but what if I also believe it’s true. Whenever I see someone with open carry my first reaction is “what an ass” but my second is “what a wimp”.
