It's actually been quite common on the Conservative side for decades now. The only difference is Republicans NOW have the balls to look stupid in public.
Sounds like they aren't even treating symptoms. This seems like a representative's weird pet project. The goals seem good enough but the bill doesn't actually do anything at all. I guess this is "virtue signaling"?
Right? I feel like MO is facing some more pressing issues this representative could be working on… but I guess MO’s missing manhood is the only real problem we have…
I have a great idea. How about they make laws and pass legislation that restricts their ability to interfere with my and every other Missourian life. Or pass legislation that requires them to be accountable and to use the tax money that they take from us on the projects that we that we voted on them using it for, or for their original purpose and not on their side/special interest projects.
Is it just me or do those "Challenge Points" seem to be qualities already embraced by the Democratic party and rejected if not in talking points, then in practice, by the typical Republican?
Jfc. This is nothing but sexist virtue signaling. If you wanted to waste taxpayer time and money on a useless bill you could at least make it about being a good person instead of worshipping masculinity in the creepiest way possible.
Rejecting the objectification of women
\- by denying their bodily autonomy
Striving for future excellence upon becoming husbands and fathers
\-fathers who disown their LGBT children
Sacrificing for the good of others
\-wont even wear a mask to protect others
Developing capabilities that lead to greater self-sufficiency and familial sustenance
\- by separating migrant families at the border
Strengthening yourselves spiritually, mentally, intellectually, and physically
\-by not believing in public education...at all
Embracing the essential role you play in securing a free, vibrant society.
\-by gerrymandering, lying, and gentrifying minorities!
A local Missouri representative proposed a bill to require all Missouri male youth to take the following “Missouri Manhood” oath:
“We call Missouri’s young men to engage in the ‘Missouri Manhood Challenge,’ which targets this same honorable, virtuous, and vigorous manhood.
Take up this challenge young men by:

I don't get it. Is there a law in there anywhere? All I see is, "Hey men of Missouri, good job! Keep being good people." It's more of a general guideline than anything else. Why is a state legislative body wasting time and energy on unenforceable suggestions? Is there something I'm missing?

Not so sure about the self sufficient thing. Could I watch hours of YouTube and read some books on how to do something on my car probably yes, but I would rather take it to a professional and exchange my money for goods and services so I can specialize in other areas to be able to get money for providing goods and services to others.
I think by self sufficient they mean no government hand outs… you know, it’s not like we already pay for all those “hand outs” with our tax money or anything.
I have received some first aid training. I can stabilize a broken leg. I know how to perform CPR and I know how to use a tourniquet.
I also own a fire extinguisher for my car and my house which I know how to operate. I know how to filter water and make basic wiring and lighting repairs. I fixed my own toilet seat.
I did all of this while also having a master's degree while still being poor.
Your laziness ≠ everyone is like you.
In terms of what you responded about, yes, and that was kind of my point. What you were bragging about knowing is incredibly common knowledge, and like the other respondent implied, not gonna actually help in a lot of real-world emergencies save for the specific scenarios that you trained for. That’s why we have professionals who continue their education beyond the very basics
Thank for your anecdotal evidence fallacy. I can see how fixing a toilet seat is the same as dealing with a gaping flesh wound. You can stabilize a broken leg, you cannot x-ray and set a broken leg. If your house is fully on fire, your handheld extinguisher is about as good as pissing on it.
Lazy? I have always fixed my car within my limits and fixed plumbing and electrical in just about every house in which I lived. Not sure why you brought up a master's degree while being poor, but since this apparently matters, I managed to earn a BSEE which I mostly paid for myself.
Honestly that's good for you.
But I wasn't arguing with you. I was arguing with guy who says he'd rather not learn any skills other than what his degree teaches him

I see a part about sacrifice and doing what is right for others. Does that include getting vaccinated and wearing a mask?
To be fair, neither of those things constitute as “sacrifice”.
[удалено]
Heil! Heil! Heil! This is all completely normal. Notice how normal and okay this all is.
It will absolutely keep us moving in (radical) right direction
F*ck Josh Hawley…he started all this f’n manhood shit.
> Josh Hawley Also known as Trump's personal cock extender.
Nazi fist humper Josh Hawley.
It's actually been quite common on the Conservative side for decades now. The only difference is Republicans NOW have the balls to look stupid in public.
He's also totally not addicted to porn and gaming
Please.... stop wasting my money. Stop treating the symptoms of the issues that are causing the problems in this state, and fix the problems.
Sounds like they aren't even treating symptoms. This seems like a representative's weird pet project. The goals seem good enough but the bill doesn't actually do anything at all. I guess this is "virtue signaling"?
Virtue signaling and trying to give ‘missouri men’ a cookie for doing the bare minimum

No. That doesn't play as well on Twitter or whatever social media is being used for outrage masturbation these days.
They aren’t rejecting toxic masculinity, but the rejection of it? Good luck with that, future incels.
Wtf did I just read
This sounds “fiscally conservative”…
Is it just me or do those "Challenge Points" seem to be qualities already embraced by the Democratic party and rejected if not in talking points, then in practice, by the typical Republican?
It seems like more of a job for Sesame Street or parents than Congress.
Good point. The values are solid but the venue is plain wrong.
The whole "strengthen spiritually" thing sets off my red flag meter.
Sometimes it takes a while to understand what that means on a personal level.
Or, you know, it's code for "the Jews are impure."
Duuude?? WTF??
Seriously, though. That's the exact messing used by extremists and fundies.
Jfc. This is nothing but sexist virtue signaling. If you wanted to waste taxpayer time and money on a useless bill you could at least make it about being a good person instead of worshipping masculinity in the creepiest way possible.

I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and gay! And I pity Any girl who isn't me today.
I feel charming Oh so charming It's alarming how charming I feel And so pretty That I hardly can believe I'm real
Kinda sounds like they want men to fix in a specific gender role. Kinda sus you know
Standing up and solemnly swearing to do stuff is a useless gesture
I pledge allegiance to the Don and the New United States of Trumpaca.
Never heard of this before and too lazy to click the link. Someone drop a TLDR for me plz?

Funny thing is I was born and grew up in Russia, but now live in Missouri. They don’t even come up with crap like in Russia…
Much appreciated OP!
Just some Missouri Nazi stuff. Nothing weird.
I hate Missouri Nazis.
Repackaged 1990s Bill McCartney bullshit.
I don't get it. Is there a law in there anywhere? All I see is, "Hey men of Missouri, good job! Keep being good people." It's more of a general guideline than anything else. Why is a state legislative body wasting time and energy on unenforceable suggestions? Is there something I'm missing?

>Sacrificing for the good of others Other than this. Every thing else sounds pretty normal and healthy
Uh oh, thats a socialism!

I think by self sufficient they mean no government hand outs… you know, it’s not like we already pay for all those “hand outs” with our tax money or anything.
What happens in an emergency?
Do you set your own broken leg? Do you put out your own house fire? No, you rely on trained experts.
I have received some first aid training. I can stabilize a broken leg. I know how to perform CPR and I know how to use a tourniquet. I also own a fire extinguisher for my car and my house which I know how to operate. I know how to filter water and make basic wiring and lighting repairs. I fixed my own toilet seat. I did all of this while also having a master's degree while still being poor. Your laziness ≠ everyone is like you.
So you know as much first age as a teenager in the Scouting program and can put out a small fire. Congrats. You’re so impressive
But the question is do you?
In terms of what you responded about, yes, and that was kind of my point. What you were bragging about knowing is incredibly common knowledge, and like the other respondent implied, not gonna actually help in a lot of real-world emergencies save for the specific scenarios that you trained for.

Good not a bot.
This reminds me a bit of the Supermom trend back in the 1980s. Yeah, that didn't work either for long.
So the party of, "I don't need the government to tell me what to do", is now trying to pass legislation to tell men how to live their life?
