here's a question

say you get a rum and coke, which is generally considered ok-tier for a man's drink

what if you get it with malibu rum, in which the coconut usually overpowers the rum.

is that considered a girl drink?

IPAs are made by using a disproportionately high amount of the ingredient in beer that adds depth to the flavor, not the ingredient that actually adds the flavor. When you throw the mix out of whack in that direction you end up with bitter, one-note beer, not depth of flavor and not floral tones.

Please refrain from mentioning your sex and/or gender while visiting /ck/. Although you may not be aware of this (although I think you are), many people posting on 4chan are not in an intimate relationship.

Therefore, referring to your femininity can be highly offensive to others, as they visit /ck/ to have fun and intellectual discourse, not to be reminded of their shortcomings (as perceived by society).

I hope you remember this in the future and refrain from using any key words that can be used as gender identifiers. It really is not that much to ask and will prevent threads from degenerating into flame/troll disasters.

Some of us also choose to be single and our virginity is not a badge of shame. The inherent superficial and highly opportunistic behavior of women is not attractive to every male, and therefore we do not have to be constantly reminded of your kind while on /ck/. It is not necessary and can be considered, "attention whoring" (a very just term).

Thank you very much,

The idea of manliness tends to include being "hard". In other words, Men can drink a drink with a strong bite and enjoy it. Just like how he can take a punch and throw a punch and either way, comes out better for it. The man takes the painful experiences and makes them good.
So of course, the opposite to that would be shying away from painful experiences for an easy-to-gain good. Like preferring a light-alcoholic drink over a hard one. It's assumed you failed to overcome the initial roughness of harder drinks so you only felt shitty for drinking it. And because you felt shitty, you decided it wasn't for you and switched to lighter drinks. You tried, failed and gave up. And that's not what men do.
And then its naturally assumed a woman, being the opposite of man, will try fail and give up when confronted with difficult physical trials. So the lighter drinks become effeminate. Not to say that it's assumed a woman cannot complete any difficult task. In fact, it's where men are assumed to fail that woman succeed heavily. And that's in understanding social relationships. Both sexual and platonic ones. (but i'm only including this because someone's nitpick the idea into anti-feminism and flaws in society)
