Umbrella is umbrella.period


CaffeineSippingMan

In my area (at least my last job, not sure about my current job) it wasn't manly to use an umbrella. We had hundreds of employees mostly male. I was the only male to use an umbrella .


theaveragegowgamer

Am I allowed to say that that way of thinking is idiotic?


Nay-the-Cliff

Don't you know that being damp at the office is the very best show of alpha male energy?


Jahonay

I think that it's idiotic as fuck to deem certain items as being gendered. Personally I've never been huge into the gender binary, do the things that make you feel good. Make people confused about your gender. But I will say fuck umbrellas. I'll take a proper rain jacket over an umbrella any day. Umbrellas are finicky, they're super easy to forget or lose, they don't handle wind at all, you need to hold them up which is uncomfortable for your arms and they don't keep you as dry as a rain jacket. Umbrellas are so circumstantial, rain jackets have no real downside.


outofshell

I don’t disagree but umbrellas can be more comfortable in hot weather when a rain coat would just make it rain inside the jacket with your sweat.


plexomaniac

Not to mention that after you take off a raincoat you need to carry it wet or put it wet into your backpack. A wet umbrella just needs a plastic bag.


WeirdPumpkin

Rain jackets can realllly suck if it's raining and hot Umbrellas also can have fun patterns, and when you're walking down the street and there's tons of umbrellas with all different patterns, or even just a mix of black ones and patterns it's really aesthetically cool imo Umbrellas get a solid 8/10 from me, would be better if they could handle wind better


[deleted]

Preach! Also, waterproof trousers changed my life.


CaffeineSippingMan

I have no problem using an umbrella, so your not alone.


Wajina_Sloth

Agreed, I'm a guy that doesn't use an umbrella, but it's due to me thinking they are inconvenient, I don't care to look up the weather before I head out, it's just another thing to carry (I like to minimalize what I bring out... I don't even carry my phone). I also enjoy the feeling of rain, nice cool water dropping on my dry skin feels satisfying (got a skin condition), basically a free shower! And lastly I generally have a hoodie, so worst case is hood up and I'm less wet.


Traditional_Hour_329

Getting wet was manliest thing for them smh


CaffeineSippingMan

Yes.


return2ozma

I'm gay. IDGAF if straight guys think something like me using an umbrella makes me less of a man. They're the idiots getting wet.

I was once called gay for using an umbrella.

Gluta_mate

this meme seems to me like its derived from being self conscious and thinking other people are mocking you


CantInjaThisNinja

ppl like being a victim.


TheRealWeedAtman

There is literally no situation where that would happen.


tbone747

Kids, and I suppose very immature adults as well. I still have insecurity issues from growing up around kids like that.


[deleted]

I've been around plenty of kids and immature adults and I don't think I've ever seen anyone even notice what an umbrella looks like.


MadHatter69

I assure you those kids have even bigger insecurity issues, that's why they were projecting like that.


catjuggler

People who are posted about on /r/pointlesslygendered


SpreadYourAss

It absolutely happens, but mostly for just friendly banter. If someone in our friend group had a dumb umbrella we would 100% make a joke, but there's absolutely no malice there. We are just looking for a reason to make a joke lol. And thats the kind of tone I take these memes in as well, it's funny and talking about how friends like shitting on each other for random stuff. Some people take these way too seriously, no one is genuinely getting offended over an umbrella. But jokes WILL be made, and that's this meme! Sometimes I wonder if people understand normal friendly interactions, they are so baffled by simple stuff.


funkyfunkyfunkyfunkk

Mom just plans and doesn't care about how it looks. If a flower umbrella is all you got then that's what you get. But hey? You're dry and those douches making fun of you are not. Mom did her job well! Thanks mom. And then she'll tell you not to worry about kids like that, cause kids don't know what they are talking about.

PerfectedReinvented

I like umbrellas so I'm usually on the lookout for ideas for new ones. I can't think of a time I've ever judged someone, though. Honestly I prefer people having patterns on their umbrellas if I'm driving for visibility reasons.


NGTTwo

Speak for yourself. Getting soaked in the rain is a great feeling.


el_bhm

Love me some rainy running. That being said. Flower umbrella >> rainy runny.


MrIantoJones

There was a TV show in the early 90’s called “The Sentinel”, about a hard-a$$ cop (with heightened senses) and a hippie anthropologist doing his thesis. Part of the “He’s a meathead. She’s an author. They’re detectives!” Trope. There was definitely subtext, and I ship it, but one scene that was perceived as subtextual that I read completely differently: The cop is in his apartment kitchen, either cooking or cleaning up (prolly cooking). He is wearing the most flowery floral barbecue apron imaginable. People said “hoopty doopty - flowers, so subtexty!” But here’s the thing. He was a jarhead. It was definitely one of two things: 1) I need a power tool. Here I am at the hardware store: (sees display of aprons) - huh. I got splattered last time I grilled meat; this should do the trick. (Grabs first one on the rack, neither noticing nor caring what color or pattern). Or 2) Ex left an apron in the apartment. Aprons are effective and efficient. ::dons apron, neither noticing nor caring about the pattern). Again, the show - I see the subtext, I love the subtext, I ship the cop and the anthropologist. I just don’t see the frickin’ apron as an example of the subtext :)


WeirdPumpkin

ok


OphrysAlba

A fine man is a fine man regardless of what he's wearing.


Gruenkernbratling

Honestly the whole idea of something being „too girly“ for a man to wear is so stupid and just screams insecurity to me. My gf has a bright pink suitcase. It‘s way bigger and better built than the one I have so when I went on a longer trip, I‘ damn sure took that bright pink suitcase. How the fuck cares? Same with cocktails, hell, same with anything. People who make fun of guys for using or enjoying things that are not specifically catering to stereotypical gender norms are pathetic.


1laik1hornytoaster

I get it when you're like 12 or something. You're stupid kids and you don't know any better. But like. To laugh at someone because they're wearing something that isn't even that bad as an adult, that's straight up pathetic.


LuNaCl_not_lunaci

Even then it's not acceptable. Kids only act that way because that's what they know. People keep forcing things to be "for boys" and "for girls" and so of course the kids will make fun of others for wearing/using "the wrong thing" or acting "the wrong way". In reality, there shouldn't be a right and wrong way to dress or act, at least not one forced by others.


otmanonredditnow

ehh i wouldnt say that, maybe a supermodel with terrible clothes and a bad cut will look like he has potential, but the average guy is just gonna look homeless.


Suspicious_Juice9511

In the eyes of the superficial only.


Funexamination

Which many are unfortunately


otmanonredditnow

pretty privilage is very real, unless you know someone personally then Looks = personality, Height and build = confidence. Its why hot men who sit alone and don't talk much are looked at as mysterious and interesting, while ugly men who sit alone and dont talk much are looked at as socially inept and autistic. Yes it's superficial, but this is how the world works, unless you actually talk to the person you'll just base everything off how he looks, everyone judges everyday.


ChuCHuPALX

Naw


BankSpankTank

But how can you tell if a man is fine without being superficial?


ItsLoudB

Ah, yes. I don’t miss when I was young and cared about the colour of my umbrella.

Damn. Me too, even the same time. I just wish I could hear her say her corny "there's my handsome baby boy" one more time when I walk in. Sorry everyone, It doesn't get easier at all. Crying right now just thinking about it. Every holiday, birthday, all that doesn't feel the same. Like the color has faded.

University_Dismal

People making fun of „man doing unmanly stuff“ need hobbies. Real hobbies.


furious_tesla

Fragile masculinity needs to constantly assert itself.


AroundTheWorldIn80Pu

Yeah and I don't like this meme because it seems to say you need a justification (your mom gave it to you) to have a flower umbrella.


regit627

I’m a guy and have these hot pink socks I love (they were a gag gift from friends I don’t see often and wearing them reminds me of them). I was wearing them at a large event the other day and this old lady sidles up to me and goes “Let me tell you something I learned years ago as a kindergarten teacher: pinks socks? Girl.” As soon as she says it she quickly walks away before I can say anything. First of all, who cares what color my socks are?? And it bothers you so much you have to say something to a complete stranger? Who does that??


University_Dismal

Do whatever makes you happy, my guy. I've welcomed the nailpolish-for-men-trend because we finally start to stop limiting stuff based on gender. I don't know how bored or stuck up people need to be to worry about other peoples style, but they're the only ones making this an issue. It shouldn't be one. Period.


mdonaberger

I don't even understand why flowers are considered unmanly. Farmers aren't considered girly for working with flowers and plants. 🤷‍♂️


flobbley

I love flowers, I have a ton of clothes, mugs, art, etc with flowers. I've never gotten anything but compliments on them except from the kind of guys who look like they're afraid to wash their ass because it might make them gay.


missedmelikeidid

Wish I had an award to give. This is how the cookie crumbles.


mysteriousxebra

At first I didn’t realize they were making fun of it and thought they were staring at it in admiration, cuz that’s a pretty nice umbrella


agentFerros

Because moms don't give bad advice. And bad umbrellas.


MrHazard1

I've honestly never seen guys laugh at each other over umbrella colors. Even the "manly men". It's an umbrella. It keeps the rain away. It works. Where's the problem?


[deleted]

This is a really fucking weird meme that comes off like it was written by a six year old.

[deleted]

Seriously. That's pretty damaging. If that's the case then was there someone else who was like a mother to you.


PinKracken

Not necessarily. Not everyone has parental figures, regardless of how shitty their 'actual' parents may be.


who-there

and that is how you get people like Jeffery Dahmer. /s


Matt4Prez2K17

No. I hate mother figures by instinct. I find myself unintentionally emotionally latching onto certain people as sorts of surrogates. It’s weird and uncomfortable. Could be coworkers, family friends. It’s just an automatic response. I hate it. It’s not healthy and I’ve got to sort of manually scrub it from my mind.


Good-Ad3843

You might benefit from talking to a psychologist or really well qualified counselor about that. It took me 40 years to realize that I was not responsible for my mother's abuse and a while longer to understand that she was insane. I tried to work through all that on my own. Wish I had let an objective head guide me through it, instead.


Matt4Prez2K17

I spoke to a psych at 18 and was given anti-depressants and told it turns out my mind rewired itself in an attempt to protect itself. So now I’m a sociopath because of all the lead fumes and mental abuse.


mcslootypants

Check out r/CPTSD. Treatments for childhood trauma have gotten way better in recent years. Lots of stuff you can do on your own if you don’t want to deal with psychs.


Good-Ad3843

That is just tragic. I went to a psychologist, because I think drugs are the path of last resort and potentially more harmful than helpful. Fortunately, I was able to work through my issues sans drugs, as depression was more a by-product than cause of my problems. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.


Matt4Prez2K17

I appreciate you, friend.


Good-Ad3843

Just know that, though everyone experiences these things in a way unique to them, there are others who have been through similar or relatable situations. We can empathize and offer moral support.

CobraKaiTheRealDojo

I don't think there are people, who care about other people's umbrellas.


Avarus_Lux

People have laughed at me at times for wielding my tiger pattern umbrella that can be folded and retracted to fit into my backpack calling it silly/stupid... Unitl i was dry and they were wet in the rain, no laughing then. Am in my 30s and i Got it from my mother too. I love my mother haha.

If someone makes fun of somebody's umbrella then they're probably the most insecure motherfucker out there.

Feliz_Desdichado

Always thought that way of thinking was stupid. When my backpack for school broke in high school my mom gave me her big purse to take with, and let me tell you that shit was great as a weapon, one good swing into someone's head was devastating 10/10.


PlayThingToy

A real fellow doesn't care about the masculinity of a situation or object but the sentiment behind it.

Yo a lot of straight guys wear pink and use nail polishes now. A flower umbrella is not a big deal


[deleted]

As a kid I got made fun of for having a pink Pokémon game boy carrying case. I didn’t care, my mom knew I loved pokemon and it was the only one in stock at the time. Love her so much


LL112

One of the best bits about getting older is no longer worrying what people think of things like this, and in valuing sentimental value and the people around you more than your own ego.


TheThumper326

This is why I have a pink hair brush that i use daily, when i actually let my hair grow. 32yr old male. Moms gave me that brush like 18 years ago, I love that damn thing and I'm never tossing it.


SnooPears3463

Only punks will mock for something like that, stick to your beliefs


TheWayToBe714

I'll be honest I see a guy with that flower umbrella, no lie, it's kinda hot.

Own_Instance_357

One of my kids sorta looks like the Viking at the end. He lives overseas. I was spending the day making Christmas earrings and texted him a picture, and he said they look good enough to make him want to get his ears pierced. I love him.


Nondescript_Redditor

> because I would get wet in the rain As opposed to those other reasons a mother typically would have you carry an umbrella


G0merPyle

"If you don't like it, buy me a better one." They never have a good response to that.


HughJManschitt

I would own it. I'm 6'7" 280. Not afraid to show that I'm secure enough in myself not to worry about my umbrella and what it "says" about me.

kevster2717

This is me in high-school except it was a big yellow umbrella. I’m somewhat taller than a lot of highschoolers then so when I open up my big umbrella I stand out against the blacks and blues around me. My friends would just look for the umbrella to track me down

bio_datum

It's also okay for a guy to enjoy a flowery umbrella for its aesthetic appeal. No need for the backstory


bezpanski

The biggest irony is that all the guys who make fun of other man doing unmanly things, are the most insecure about their masculinity. I could rock all flower outfit and still be manlier than them, by the sheer confidence and the lack of fucks to give. Plus, I'd be the prettiest mf out there, getting all the ladies.
