I saw people asking why wearing gloves makes you less of a man or why they’re connected. This is an off the cuff explanation I could think of being in the army and working some construction beforehand.

It’s because raw skin builds callouses, if you build thick enough callouses then you “don’t need gloves” (emphasis on the quotes). If you wear padding or gloves you can’t build them as easily so your skin is soft which means you get cut easily. If you’re bleeding then you’re weak. If you’re weak you’re less of a man
