Default I refuse
1. To be defined as nothing but a paycheck.
2. To be out of shape.
3. To walk on eggshells
4. To sacrifice my manhood on the altar of anyone else's ego.
5. To settle for scraps when I deserve the hero's portion.
6. To back down to "keep the peace"
7. To accept scorn and disrespect from anyone.
8. To not be myself
9. To wax or shave my chest hair
10. To accept the portrayal of men as "less-than"

Any other refusals from the clubhouse?

Amen to that! I absolutely hate when men do that! It's not as attractive, IMO!

Mike, good for you for drawing your line in the sand. Awesome!
Add to your refusal list: No more A-1 on steaks and you will be golden.

I'm not partial to this either. But if it's to upkeep an out of control garden, well I guess that's one thing. I just prefer men au naturel.

I refuse to put someone else's happiness above my own.
or
I refuse to hold myself accountable for anyone's happiness but my own.
