MANY MEN ONLY ATTENTION SEEK THROUGH BAD HYGIENE, BURPING, FARTING, HACKING, AND CAUSING DISCOMFORT THROUGH DISGUST

SO YEAH, I ON THIS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED BUT YES, A LOT OF MEN AND BOYS ARE TAUGHT TO ATTENTION SEEK USING THINGS LIKE BURPING, FARTING AND BEING STINKY. THIS STARTS VERY YOUNG TOO. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN MAYBE A KINDERGARTEN OR PRESCHOOL CLASSROOM IS SILENT AND SUDDENLY BOY JUST BURPS OUT LOUD AND EVERYBODY LAUGHS? WELL, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS ARE BEHAVIOURS OF AFFIRMATION. AT YOU, WHEN PEOPLE GIVE YOU ATTENTION WHEN YOU DO CERTAIN THING. THEY ARE OFTEN ALLOWED TO AND MAYBE EVEN ENCOURAGED TO DO THINGS OF DISCUSS, TO ATTENTION SEEK. AND IT'S AFFIRMED, THROUGH DISCOMFORT OR JUST LEARNED BEHAVIOR, TO LAUGH AT THESE TYPES OF ATTEMPT. OFTEN TIMES, SOCIETY WILL HAVE THE ASSUMPTION THAT THESE SOCIALLY THAT THESE THINGS ARE NOT OKAY. HOWEVER, IN A PATRIARCHAL SOCIETY, DO BOYS EVER LEARN WHAT ISN'T OKAY? TURNS INTO IS GROWN MEN THAT STILL HAVE THE SAME ATTENTION SEEKING BEHAVIOURS, MAKING EVERYBODY AROUND THEM UNCOMFORTABLE. BECAUSE EVEN THROUGHOUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN AFFIRMED IN THEM. NOW THEY ONLY TAKE UP SPACE BY HACKING IN A SPACE, BY SPACE AND FARTING, SPACE AND FARTING, A SPACE AND DOING LOUD BURPS. AND SOMETIMES THEY CAN EVEN ENCOURAGE OTHER PEOPLE TO DO THE SAME. TIMES. YOU'LL EVEN MEDIA. A SINGLE DAD CHARACTER RAISING A SUDDENLY SHE'S BURPING DOING OTHER SIGNS OF DISGUST AS A WAY OF SORT OF FURTHERING MASCULINITY. AND THERE'S AN EXPECTATION OF AFFIRMATION OF THOSE THINGS BY MAYBE THE FIGURES AROUND HER. MEN ARE SORT OF GIVEN A LEEWAY TO BE DISGUSTING IN MANY WAYS. WHETHER THAT'S HOW THEY TALK ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE, THEY THINK, LITERALLY THEM BEING A DISGUSTING PERSON, SMELLING AND BEING DIRTY. SUDDENLY THE ABILITY TO BE STINKY IS CONFLATED INTO SOMETHING THAT REFLECTS MASCULINITY AND PHEROMONE. AND THIS IS ALSO A FREAKED UP THEY SHOW THEIR DOMINANCE. SPIT ON THINGS, PISS ON THINGS, IF I CAN COME AND MAKE EVERYBODY NOSE HAIR STINK, I AM ASSERTING DOMINANCE IN SOME IS AN ATTENTION SEEKING BEHAVIOUR THAT IS ALSO A GENDER AFFIRMING BEHAVIOUR BECAUSE OF THE SOCIETY WE LIVE IN. IF YOU'VE GROWN UP WITH LIKE THE HOUSE, YOU'LL KNOW EXACTLY ABOUT. TELL YOU TO AND FART. THE MEN THAT CHUG THEIR SODAS JUST SO THEY BIG BURP. THE BOYS THAT USED TO MIX A WHOLE BUNCH TOGETHER TABLE JUST TO GET A REACTION. THE BOYS THAT USED TO CHASE WITH BUGS OR NASTY ITEMS TO GET A REACTION. THE GUYS THAT TO HUG SOMEBODY AFTER THEY'RE ALL SWEATY AND STINKY. AND EVEN THE CONVERSATION ABOUT MEN THAT PURPOSEFULLY KEEP DISGUSTING. TO HAVE A SORT OF FEELING OF SUPERIORITY OVER THE WOMEN TO INTERACT WITH THEM SEXUALLY. BEING NASTY AND DISGUSTING AND FUNKY IS A WAY THAT MEN HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THEY SHOULD ACQUIRE ATTENTION IN THIS PATRIARCHAL SOCIETY.
