The New Yorker’s cartoon-based essay, “Seven Signs That Your Man’s Masculinity Is Nontoxic,” certainly looks tongue-in-cheek (it’s filed under “Humor”), but it managed to trigger a ton of responses nonetheless.

Our favorites: “He carries a tote bag that’s at once pro-environment, pro-feminism, and pro-reading,” and “He opens doors for women at work, but they’re metaphorical doors, like the ones that lead to promotions.”
I… I honestly don't understand this. https://t.co/4TFRm6Q0is

This has to be satire https://t.co/5Rt9Y4QNWA

Were this a different publication, I'd presume this to be satire… https://t.co/fKCEHrBh1k

I hope this is satire. Shame that I can't tell the difference. https://t.co/DvNyfOkbxI

I THINK (hope) this is satire. Sadly, in today's world it is too hard to say, which I think makes it BAD satire. https://t.co/f5iQVZc9GM

Was it satire when The New Yorker wrote an alarming piece about the “creepy infiltration” of New York City by Chick-fil-A and its “pervasive Christian traditionalism”? It had to be.
OK, I'm pretty sure that this article is tongue in cheek, and if so, it's pretty funny. If it's NOT tongue in cheek, it's even funnier. https://t.co/qinhaiM1gR

Progressive leftist 'masculinity' is toxic. Check their closet for multiple onesies & Obama mom jeans before making a huge mistake, ladies.

Men aren't toxic, they are essential.
It is because of men that these urban sissy boys can sit around, drink soy lattes, carry purses and surrender their souls to Marxist women. https://t.co/9HmlXzeHiB— Denis M Brown (@denismbrown) May 26, 2018

What painful "humor" (obvs not satire but "funny" statement of authors' actual views)
FYI: nothing wrong w/men not being traditionally masculine. ("Soy boy" comments are cringey too, stop it.) But this says "PC doormat," not "nontraditional man"https://t.co/uUqfquRRQ7— Cathy Young (@CathyYoung63) May 26, 2018
You: look, you can’t make just not being a dick seem pretentious and insufferable

If this was an attempt at humor…it kinda sucked. Just follow @terrycrews, fam. He's a good dude and not ashamed of his manhood. And is ACTUALLY funny. https://t.co/JWBANBqxBq
