Let's all read this terrific piece in the New York Times, "27 Ways to Be a Modern Man," and talk about how TERRIFIC it is. And by "TERRIFIC," I mean "TERRIBLE."

It's always neat when "man" really means "straight, white, middle-class, cis man." So neat!

Personally, my favorite part is this:
9. Having a daughter makes the modern man more of a complete person. He learns new stuff every day.
The modern man learns "stuff" from his daughter! Presumably "stuff" like: Female people are human beings, too! And they are put on this planet in order to teach stuff to modern men and complete their superior humanity!

GOOD FUCKING GRIEF.
