For instance hunting for your food is manly. I don't hunt, but I can't deny that's not a manly task. Some guy cutting down trees to make logs for the fire place is manly. Farmers moving heavy ass hay bales is manly. Knowing how to defend yourself and family whether is fists or a gun is manly.
You can't deny any of that as not being manly. I think biologically guys are competitive and admire each other for those traits. Whether it be bigger lifts, better at sports, etc. Even women state they want their man to have some of those manly traits
I don't know why you're getting so mad, no reason to get mad, Op does speak truth as cliche(right terminology?)as it may sound.

The things you've listed are manly because they employ the essence of being biologically male - greater strength, athleticism, physical dominance. OP is talking about is the transmission in your car.
Going to the dealership and ticking the "manual" box is not an expression of innate "maleness".

It also doesn't help that manual transmissions have been showcased in Hollywood driven by dominate men. Torreto, Memphis in Gone in 60 Seconds, Transporter, James Bond, etc
Driving a manual has always given off a manly vibe. Automatic is seen as a creature comfort. Too easy, no skill, though efficient.
I've never driven a manual but I feel like it also gives a sense of freedom, sort of a rebel. Balding middle class dads drive the automatics, whereas manuals are driven by those full of vigor and youth no matter the age.

But what OP is saying, and what a lot of sad excuses of men say, is very different. He said "if you don't/can't drive a manual, turn in your man card."
It's not exactly an impressive feat to be able to drive a manual.
To use one of your examples, sure, chopping wood to keep your family warm can be said to be manly, but the equivalent to OP's point is "just lol if u don't own an axe". Oh chit, I don't feel like a man, better go to the store and buy an axe.

I've wanted to learn how to drive stick shift but it's becoming obsolete. A lot of the newer sports cars don't even have manual options. The Nissan GT-R doesn't have a manual option, none of the BMW M models have a manual option except for the M4, that's literally the only one in the M line up, etc.

I beg to differ, OP
There's always

and



In full disclosure, I drive stick
"The manlet is a savage beast that knows no moral bound. After falling in disgrace to a manmore, a ravaged manlet would not hesitate to come from behind and land a sucker punch/ swing with a rock to the back of a manmore's head. They are ruthless and you need to spend some more time in the gutter to even begin trying to comprehend what goes on in their minds."

I'm not angry, I just think OP is an idiot with a ridiculous point. You at least made sense, your premises were sound, but not the conclusion.

Also:
Dollar for dollar, manual gearboxes are capable of handling more kilowatts
If one gear fails, you can still get home, whereas if you blow the torque converter youโre stranded
You can double clutch on the downshift to brake more efficiently
Manual boxes usually have more gear ratios than the equivalent slush box, so more efficient
Manual boxes are lighter and more compact
Easier to strengthen the gearset
Easier to remove from the car
Overall more durable, donโt burn out after 250,000kms
Cheaper to repair if they ever do break
Can roll start the car if the battery dies
Can launch the car at high rpm without stall converter
Can kick the clutch to break traction and start the drift
Manuals are just better

Whenever I rent a car in Europe they always ask "Did you mean to pick a manual?" because most Americans are beta *******s to the rest of the world these days apparently.

Lol at buying someone else's invention/reasearch/manufacturing and thinking that's manly, even if you have to take a little time to learn how to use it. Build something yourself, research something yourself, do something creative or inventive yourself, accomplish something yourself. That's what makes you alpha.

What a ignorant ass comment. The vast majority of cars in North America have automatic transmissions. Odds are you will not have a lot of manual options when buying a car. I don't see what the big deal is. I've only ever owned automatics, because that's what was available. There is no advantage to a manual transmission other than have street cred among ricer hoon boy racer idiots. Not people I want to have anything to do with. Driving stick sounds pretty straight forward to me. I'm sure I can figure it out when evidently people with limited mental capability can do it and brag about it
