    I have never heard that and it deeply disturbs me because this does seem like it’d be an American thing…

      It’s a joke. The phrase is “better dead than red” and is an anti-communist phrase.

      “better red than dead” is a joke - that’s usually a play on political parties or football teams. But what isn’t a joke, something that I’ve heard from american women, is that they’ve dated some american men who:

      • don’t masturbate because touching a penis is gay
      • don’t wash their penis with soap and water, just water, letting the water run down the penis, but not touch it, because you’d be holding a man’s dick in your hands.
      • if they do masturbate, they might just leave their mess on the floor, even if it’s carpet, for years and never clean it. Stains under a computer desk should be treated with a hazmat suit. This is different from the american men who save their mess in jars… I have no comment for that.
      • don’t touch their penis when they pee. that’s what the zipper in the front is for. I mean, doing this in public would mean other men see you with a man’s cock in your hand. That’s … uh you know…
      • don’t get prostate exams (this one may be more self-explainitory, doesn’t make it right though).

      And then they (guys who say this stuff) wonder why american men have a mental health crisis. Well (addressing the guys who say this stuff), buddy, part of it is you.

        What part of any of that makes it partly because of me? This seem more like an off-topic rant.


        I am an American and the only two I’ve heard is:

        “don’t masturbate because touching a penis is gay”

        Every time has been religion driven homophobia related.

        don’t get prostate exams (this one may be more self-explainitory, doesn’t make it right though).

        Goes back to the last one as well.

        Probably why religion has been on a decline.

          I think that by “you” he means American men.

          “Damn, we’re having a mental health crisis.” “Part of that is on you.”

          Am I making sense? Sorry if I’m not.
