Give Me Some Sugar

[happiestsadist]

I've been noticing something. Just here and there. Maybe it's the existence of Men's Pocky, a less sweet version for those macho manly men who don't want to eat girly feminine..uh...chocolate-dipped pretzel sticks. Right. Or this helpful list, which will make sure you don't shame yourself by ordering something as revolting as a drink known

White chocolate is goddamn delicious. As is dark chocolate. And that's all I can really contribute because I'm in a fog right now but I like this post.

[happiestsadist]

Fair. I just like making fun of white chocolate. I actually had some I really liked a while back, it had lemon zest and pink peppercorns and was amazing.

And thanks!

I liked white chocolate before but I LOVE IT SO HARD after having a lot of amazing white chocolate here in Europe. It's so mouth melty and mmmmmmmmm. I just had some with coffee so I have very strong feelings about it right now.

[happiestsadist]

Since actually having white chocolate that was not cheap and awful, I have been forced to concede it can be capable of deliciousness, especially when combined with other flavours. I don't feel that it's chocolate, but it can be good.

Yes, this! Yes, this. I actually saw, honest to God, "Muesli for Men" in the supermarket the other day. That was what it was actually CALLED. The ingredients were the same as muesli everywhere, so I wanted to think it was tongue-in-cheek. I'm sort of afraid it wasn't.

Maybe it has added fiber for extra manly farting lol.

[happiestsadist]

I tried to imagine what that would look like, and all that came to mind was little nutsack-shaped crunchy bits in it.

LOL FOREVER

It's really weird. I like my drinks somewhere in the middle, anyway. Not syrupy, not bitter or over-tannic. I like a mellow red wine, I like Guinness, I like all varieties of chocolate including white. (Must have real cocoa butter. NOT the fake kind).

And many times have I sat down beside a man, each of us with our pint of Ben and Jerrys, and we each polished off the whole container. XD

The only good thing about g026r's lactose intolerance is that when I get ice cream, mysterious checked-shirt-wearing pixies don't steal it all the second my back is turned.

Also, now a container of yoghurt's lifespan in the apartment isn't measured in hours.

I always go the weirdest direction on stuff like this...

Human breast milk is sweet and sugary --so maybe in a strange primitive utopia where all else is equal, women get the privilege of being allowed to like sugary things because it is suited to their natural and nature-given powers? I've always felt that some of the gender stereotypes are not so negative for us and not that big a deal and maybe even help to compensate for some of the others. Like, I enjoy wearing pants without getting stoned to death, but it is rather nice to have doors held open for me, too, especially when I'm carrying things

[ballyharnon]

Wait, I just looked at that drink list --there are at least five drinks on there that are stereotypical men's drinks, at least where I come from. Bourbon and coke? Black & tan? Vodka tonic? The Dude's famous White Russian? If I ordered any of those in my local bar I would be congratulated on my bold and unashamed lesbianism. (Which is also silly. I can be mannish and like cock, damnit!)

[cooperwench]

That's what I was thinking, what's unmanly about a black and tan?

[kankurette]

Mmmm, White Russians.

God, I hate men, most of the time. I know it's not the answer and that it accomplishes exactly nothing except making me angry, but sometimes I just can't help it. Why is humanity so fucking stupid?

[happiestsadist]

I hate masculinity more than men. The construction of what manliness is is corrosive to everybody, especially the rest of us.

[arsgloria]

This is true.

[kankurette]

Agreed. Proscribed gender roles are as harmful to men as they are to women.
