Oh, we would've loved drinking gin from a box! We had to suck on the bar rag the bartender would discard at the end of his shift, and we were thankful for it!

Bar rag? You were lucky! Best we could do was drink out of the muddy slough with the juniper bush growing nearby

Britain being anywhere at all on the positive version really shows the hand of the creator. No real country is delusional enough to put themselves on it.

If you actually track how much he's drinking in the books it's, like, a shitload.

Most people in the 50s through the 80s were high-functioning alcoholics/Druggies.
People popped pill after pill, or snorted coke. Your average person walked around, at a minimum, buzzed, just to tolerate the day to day life.

But see, it was okay because Alcohol was accepted, and pills were prescribed, so they had legitimacy.
Cocaine was a white man's drug(from their POV) so it was okay!

None of that dirty dirty weed for us!

I knew about the shaking cracking up the ice diluting the drink and always just thought it was intentional. So it would look like he's relaxing and having a good time but he's actually drinking vodka flavored water and staying sharp.

I've read that it was intentional, but not to stay sharper. Bond is not remotely a high-society guy who reads every nuance of a white-tie event; he's just a blunt instrument for MI6. It's a small tell that he isn't perfect and orders a poor man's idea of a rich man's drink. In the books, especially early on, he was more of a working man shoved into challenging situations than the impossibly suave movie Bond, and the little martini bit stuck as a catchphrase.

Jesus was american, and by the transient property of the holy trinity being one and the same that means that god is an American, and therefore is afraid of minorities.

It's also been happening for pretty much all of human history and was (if anything) much much worse in the past. Don't forget that the English made fun of Napoleon's alleged lack of height for centuries even though it was apparently just propaganda anyway.

The Vikings went even further and took that whole "You can't be a real man unless you have a big dick" thing way too seriously

To complicate matters further, Phelpstead found evidence in the stories that it was as unmanly to have an outsized penis as an undersized one. In the 13th-century Njal's Saga, the warrior Hrutr Herjolfsson is cursed by a jealous queen with an erection too big for intercourse with his bride

this is nothing compared to the passage about rendering blubber where Ishmael waxes rhapsodic at everyone shoving their hands into some oily vat and endlessly squeezing out the squeezings of the whale flesh until no one can even tell whose hand is whose

the greek tragedy chapter is pretty good

QI once made the point that, before the trial of Oscar Wilde, it was perfectly common for men to hold hands, sit in each others' laps and tell each other how much they loved them.

After Wilde was sentenced to hard labour, lost nearly everything and died just five years later from the terrible conditions he had experienced in gaol, no one else wanted to risk having their lives destroyed and it just all stopped.

I wonder how much of today's toxic masculinity was formed in that time when men had their ability to express positive emotions and affection taken from them.


EDIT: Moby Dick was written in 1851 and Oscar Wilde's trial was in 1895 so it tracks.
