#is it masculine to be addicted to an expensive chemical you can't get through the day without?

Last week I was reading about the connection between nicotine pouches like Zyn and Tucker Carlson style right wing masculinity. One guy was quoted saying, "They fear a society when a man wakes up in the morning, drinks black coffee, pops a cool mint upper decky, and takes on the world."

Now when I wake up and make my coffee with a splash of cream, I think "well obviously this means I'm a pussified liberal drone or whatever..." and it's not actually funny anymore, but it's embedded in my brain.
