Intoxicating Masculinity

**This is NOT a men’s only event**Ladies & gentlemen, come smoke cigars and drink bourbon with us as we CELEBRATE masculinity. This (somehow controversial) event has been 1 year in the making. Apparently, TBYR can throw an event celebrating accomplished women (which we did last year), but not men (…equality?)In this country, we’ve definitely seen our share of sexism- men vs women, women vs men, anything you can do I can do better blah blah blah… good song though.TBYR supports equality for BOTH biological sexes. Yep, there’s only TWO! (science)But we have all seen the dramatic shift towards what can only be referred to as a blatant attack and HATRED of masculinity.Liberals now refer to men being manly as “toxic masculinity.” Um…WTF is that??? Is there such a thing as “toxic feminity?” No. No there isn’t. We checked. Femininity is awesome. And there’s no such thing as “toxic masculinity” either. As a former Navy Seal, our honored guest speaker, Dan O’Shea, knows a thing or two about being masculine. This biological male (he/him for you libtards) will MANSPLAIN what it means to be a real man.**When the idea of this event was floated to our board and members, the amount of STRONG support from females of this event told us this is a much needed thing in our society. Apparently, women don’t want to marry girly boys. Who knew?SPEAKER BIO:
