There’s a lot of talk these days about the importance of masculinity, so it is no surprise this blog has been overwhelmed with correspondence on the topic. So many have reached out to ask me: what does it even mean to be a man these days? What does the “masculine energy” so sought after by our thought leaders even look like?
Being a man is something I know a lot about. I am overflowing with testosterone. So here are my top 5 tips for unleashing masculine energy and living your day like a real man.
1) Wake up and hug a possum
When you wake up, the very first thing you should do – before you have coffee or shower or do any other of those weak-willed feminine activities – is hunt down and hug a possum. You were born to hunt. Express your natural predator instincts by trapping a possum, then give it a big hug. Real men can express their emotions without being afraid of being called “gay”. Honestly, any man who calls you “gay” because you hugged a possum you hunted and trapped is probably just insecure.
2) Fight a possum
Sadly, possums carry a lot of toxicity from their childhoods where they were never taught how to accept love from others. So if you want to hug a possum, you better be willing to fight a possum. That’s what being a man means in 2025, no matter what the “woke” brigade of cultural Marxists trying to tear down society’s traditional gender roles will tell you.
3) Go to work
Men are providers, so wash off all the blood and possum fur and go to work! Stop complaining and earn a living. Can’t afford the bills and have no realistic prospect of ever being able to buy a house, all the while quality of life is increasingly undermined by escalating extreme weather events that suggest the future will be an ever-worsening hellscape increasingly unable to sustain human civilisation? Grind harder!
Seriously, your ancestors out chasing woolly mammoths didn’t complain about “the growing threat of World War III descending into a nuclear holocaust”. Grow up.
The first thing you should do when you get back from work is to man up and apologise to the possum. It is not “weak” to admit when you made a mistake when you hunted, trapped then unexpectedly hugged that possum. A real man knows when to say sorry.
True men also know the best way to move on after a fight is to go to the pub together, sink schooners til closing time and then fail to get into a night club coz the cuck bouncer says “you can’t even walk straight and also that’s a fucking possum”. Yes, the woke brigade are now cancelling possums. The possum will probably be like “let’s go man, forget about it” but then the leftards will have won. So when the possum puts its paw on your shoulders to try to lead you away from the bouncer 8 times your size, turn and punch them. Then hug them and tell them you love them. Get a kebab and complain about immigrants ruining our culture. Go home and pass out with your shoes on.
And then, and this is the most important piece of advice anyone can ever give you: wake up and do it again.
Consistency is key to being a man.
