Ideally in one thread and with the #writever hashtag
1/Compost
Real men don't sit on the toilet. They pee in the garden and make good compost for the plants.
#writever
2/ Cutting
Real men have some visible scars because they can prove their masculinity by cutting themselves on the arm, on the leg or on the face. But not as much as the Frankenstein’s creature.
#writer
3/Rake
Witches drive brooms, and wizards prefer using rakes. However, they also have cars and bikes which only have ordinary failures.
#Writever
4/ transplanting
Transplanting uses from a kind of movies to real life is the way many boys learn how to interact with women and girls. Their models are not the best ones.
#writever
5/Fertilizer
When I see men arriving at emergency cares after an exposition to toxic fertilizers poured on the top part of their trousers, I no longer ask them what exactly happened. I know and they know I know.
#writever
6/Moon
Some violent men are more dangerous during the full moon. That's how werewolves were invented. By the will to explain without questioning patriarchy.
#writever
7/ Planting
Tree planting isn’t an exclusively masculine activity. Men just tend to plant bigger and more decorative trees and to boast about it, while women usually plant what they need, then resume normal activities.
#writever
8/Flowering
I’ve been taught that the full flowering of a boy needs more place and freedom than the one of a girl. But nobody could explain this difference properly to me.
#writever
9/pot
God kneaded the clay, took a huge breath, then decided to turn a pot, instead of shaping a human being. Isn't that a beautiful uchronia ?
#writever
10/Marcotting
Many techniques are used to promote the propagation of the masculinist ideology. Planting seeds in young brains and marcotting the leaders are the most common.
#writever
11/Intake
They believed that increasing their intake of meat was important for their masculine identity, while eating vegetables was a sign of weakness.
#writever
12/germination
More heat and more light make good conditions for germination, but not for men’s fertility. Many of our husbands are now worried about the climate change.
#writever
13/Fruits
Children are sometimes seen as the fruits of the women's womb, watered by the generosity of men. It makes the women passive receptacles but supposes a more active gardener. Men don't really like this story.
#Writever
14/Weeding
There are times in a woman's life, like menopause, that men fear. They know it's the weeding season and they can get thrown away.
#writever
15/Soil
The soil around this house has always been rich.
People say it has to do with the number of women who disappeared in the vicinity.
#writever
16/Growth
The growth of violence in boys groups isn't good news. They really need to learn other languages to communicate together and with other members of society.
#writever
17/Pruning
Beware of the men who buy pruning scissors while living downtown. Be careful of those who go every weekend to the hardware store, but never tinker.They could be dangerous killers.
#writever
18/Nitrogen
I was told that liquid nitrogen was coolant. That's why I tried it on my husband's body. I didn't mean to hurt him I really hoped he could get nicer.
#writever
19/Seeds
Seeds are nothing more than a huge potential that needs soil and water for actualization. Don't watch men's seeds. They sometimes don't even care about them. Watch their fruits.
#writever
20/Sunlight
You must never watch the sunlight directly, nor your husband's flaws. It's important to pretend he’s perfect. Perhaps this could help him to be a better man.
#writever
21/Sowing
ā€œ3 months after the sowing, it’s already too late to fleeā€ the instructor repeated to the students, 15 young men wearing muscles and a beard..
ā€œyou don’t want to be responsible for decades, you don’t want to pay for a moment of joy. It is important to keep distant, to preserve your freedom, and move as fast as necessary.ā€
#writever
22/Flowers
Do you know that there are edible flowers? Some of our clients ask specifically for them.
This way, they can offer both the restaurant and the flowers without having to spend too much.
Romantic has a cost.
#writever
23/ Watering
I’ve invented a system to measure the soil’s moisture and ask for watering.
I’ve chosen to give it a feminine voice in order to motivate the gardeners who need to feel like women’s saviours.
#writever
24/Wintering veil
Many families hide some hideous secrets under a kind of wintering veil that lets them feel warm and protected from the outside gaze.
#writever
25/fertile
The fact that, in a couple, the man could be the one who isn't fertile is still difficult to imagine. It's because of the passive conception of women's role in fecundation. A sleeping soil waiting to be awaken.
#writever
26/Hole
At the end of the day, you can see the males gathering at the watering hole of the village. Women aren't really welcome, but they are allowed to serve the glasses.
#writever
27/hoeing
Hoeing was considered less technical and important than other tasks, like hunting. Women used to hoe, men used to hunt.
#writever
28/harvest
Autumn is the season for harvest, but spring is the season of divorces. The moment when you plant new seeds and aspire to live better.
#writever
29/acidity
He said he needed to buy lime in order to correct the soil acidity. In fact, the acidity he wanted to destroy was the one in his couple’s relationship. His wife went away before being killed.
#writever
@k_tastrof wow I can't believe acclaimed author Ketty Steward just said women are hoes
