Toxic Masculinity

I wonder if Teddy Roosevelt was thinking about the future and "toxic masculinity" when he said....

" It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

 

I am trying to grow enough hair to wear a man-bun...

When I was a Coach Administrator in a youth soccer league, it was part of my responsibility to check in on the coaches at matches to see that things were going as they should. I was watching a U8 match and a goalkeeper let a shot get by him whereupon the coach shouts "hey nimrod, you gotta get down on those!" I reported it to the Commish, and he checked it out. The kid's last name was. . . . 'Nimrod'

 

Nimrod don't get no respect. Of course, very few people know the back story...

Never knew all the biblical or other historical references. This was always the way I have heard the term "nimrod' used (as a slur):

From the Wiki page listed above:

Idiom[edit]
In modern American English, the term is often used sarcastically to mean a dimwitted or a stupid person, a usage first recorded in 1932 and popularized by the Looney Tunes cartoon characters Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, who both sarcastically refer to the hunter Elmer Fudd as "nimrod",[37][38] as an ironic connection between "mighty hunter" and "poor little Nimrod", i.e. Fudd.[39]
