Manual labor is manly when you do it to build/fix your own property. It is manly because it shows you can take care of your estate and, by extension, your family. Thus, specialization is a meme. A real man can do it all or will learn to do it all. He doesn't do it for money.
>Inb4 but that's my job and I can do it at home too!You're missing my point. Good for you if you can do it at home. The fact you also get paid to do it somewhere else isn't manly, it's just pathetic considering you're ruining your body.
