ManWhoHasItAll Has It All Figured Out

I kind of love Twitter. I would go so far to say there are about five things I really care about: my wife, my kids, my family, watching sports on TV, and Twitter. I heard it said once that Facebook is where you learn to dislike people you know in real life and Twitter is where you learn to love people you will never meet. That pretty much sums it up. Over time I’ve cultivated a Twitter news feed that creates a harmonious echo chamber that caters to my interests: sports, leftist politics, sarcasm, parenting, and celebrities. 

It’s gotten to the point that I don’t really know how I used to watch live sports on TV, award shows, or presidential debates without Twitter. There’s no going back now; the whole experience has changed.

Every now and then, though, a person or account on Twitter really jumps out at me. I found this new account, ManWhoHasItAll (@manwhohasitall), through some retweets by my like-minded Twitter peeps.

Here is a taste...



Yes, finally! Some useful advice for men trying to balance work, family, and “me time" with just a little touch of empathy mixed in. The struggle is real.

Need help getting your wife to be more involved around the house? ManWhoHasItAll has you covered there as well...




Some guys really have it good though. They've lucked into wives that help out around the house and even babysit the kids every now and then!



Sometimes there are those big questions about gender roles and men in the workplace that are hard to tackle. Maybe it's best just to keep things real...





And at the end of the day, sometimes dads just need a little inspiration...


And just in case anyone’s sarcasm detector is broken, yes, this whole shtick is a clever commentary on our patriarchal society. Do these nuggets of wisdom and pieces of advice seem ridiculous when directed toward men? If so, then it’s a pretty safe bet that they are equally ridiculous when directed, with full sincerity and without a hint of irony, toward women. 

Keep up the good work, ManWhoHasItAll! Don’t let anyone tell you that your opinions aren’t as valid as a woman’s.
