Seriously. For some people cooking, baking, sewing, cleaning, doing the dishes, laundry are all for women and not “manly”. A “manly man” is then someone who cannot take care of himself at all and needs a mother/nanny substitute his whole life just to survive. And that’s somehow “strong”???

The fact that much of the world has defined masculinity as “rugged, raw, and remorseless rock n’ roll” is just wild to me.
Imagine denying yourself the ability to enjoy flowery scents and having emotions just to prove that you have a penis.

You don’t even need to have emotions while using a scented body wash. You can just go “ah, roses, cool” and get on with it.
There is a legitimate reason to prefer something else. I would also want something that provides freshness in a minty/salty/whatever way. Roses do smell nice, but I would rather have something associated with icy/sporty freshness. But assuming it’s feminine just because it smells like flowers… consult renaissance folks.

I wouldn’t say being unable to buy your own soap is rugged
