Post writers who embody true masculinity instead of that shallow shit of Hemingway's. Truly he makes him look like a sissy in comparison.

Poor bait if you think Hemingway isn't the most masculine man on earth. You've probably never got addicted to alcohol, or cared about how others see you, or had bar fights for someone looking at you, or had thoughts of killing yourself because of your idle dissatisfaction of life.
Melville was a literal homo btw.

Have you ever read Moby Dick? The exact reason for the story is so the narrator doesn't blasts his head off with a pistol. You can be the judge of these two approaches but I should not allow you this level of independence. Let me tell you this, degeneracy and destroying your body just to appear masculine is the easiest way to ruin your soul.

Melville
Joseph Conrad

I think there's something in being a sailor that makes you manly, especially in those days. Adventure, danger, toughness. At the same time it gives you a romantic vision of life.

Emerson agrees:
>Carlyle has, best of all men in England, kept the manly attitude in his time. He has stood for scholars, asking no scholar what he should say. Holding an honored place in the best society, he has stood for the people, for the Chartist, for the pauper, intrepidly and scornfully, teaching the nobles their peremptory duties.

Emerson agrees:
