Gen-Z Manliness

Daily Pundit avatarPosted on by 15

We have a 23-year-old man staying with us while he goes to college. He’s not paying rent and I don’t think is mother is giving us anything because she’s a friend of my wife’s. (If she is, I’ve never seen a cent of it, which doesn’t mean much, now that I think about it.)

I’ve been shaking my head at the manliness, or lack thereof, of this young man. And now I’m comparing him to my mid-teens daughter.

(Pasted as an image because I can’t figure out how to get a table working in the current WP editor.)

This paints a pretty bad picture. For that matter, my daughter would probably not be happy to realize that she’s more manly than he.

Can’t assemble a flat-pack? In grad school? With Ikea’s comic book instructions?
I bet he doesn’t own a basic tool kit, either.
I’ll defend crocs as specialty shoes only. Gym, locker room, public showers and pools, and campsite, mostly. Not for public wear.

Sits down to pee? Yes. Mother’s influence.

Well, there’s your issue. How is it that Mommie Dearest has been monitoring this guy’s methods of urination?
Even as a very young kid, I would have been mortified at the notion that my mom knew how I took a leak. Or had the temerity to tell me how I should do it.
What does he do if he’s trapped in a bathroom without a stall/toilet? Or if he’s outdoors?
The more I unpack this, the weirder it gets.
For that matter, how do you know how he pees?

There’s a difference in sound between peeing standing up and peeing sitting down. And I have very good hearing. (Despite gunfire, artillery, machine work, and aging.)

In Germany, the term is sitzpinkeln and supposedly it’s quite the insult to accuse a man of pinkelning while sitzing. But, lest we here in the United States, basking in the robust glow of the virile leadership of Uncle Joe, think we tower over such petty issues, Men’s Health magazine had an article last year encouraging us non-birthing persons to take a seat to void the bladder.

From the article:

a whopping 70% of Japanese men have their backsides firmly planted on the porcelain throne when urinating.

Also:

In most Western countries the standing position is common, while in Eastern and Asian countries the sitting and crouching positions are more common

Finally:
My friend of more than forty years, a Chinese guy from Singapore, sits to pee. I asked him why, and he said that when he was little, their toilets were basically holes in the floor. You squatted to do everything. He kept the habit.

Speaking of Germany, who knew pissing into the toilet while sitting on the floor was a thing (caution advised):

Never saw anything like that when I was in Deutschland.

German humor aimed at the pee nags (available from Amazon):

I refuse to use any toilet which doesn’t have a trapeze bar overhead, so I can piss acrobatically.

I prefer to breakdance when I pee.

If the backyard is good enough for my dog, by gum, it’s good enough for me.

My dad chose the site to build his house by one simple principle: If he can’t piss from his front porch, then the neighbors are too close.

My rule exactly!
I’m shopping for a rural acreage, and that’s one of my criteria.

Say, do you know how to get the gravel out of this wheelbarrow?

No, I certainly don’t. I’m an agricultural policy advisor.
