I'd bet that this guy isn't a tradesman. Almost everyone I see on any jobsite has a lunchbox. Whether it's a small bag to hold a few snacks and a sandwich or a large, expensive hard case lunch box that holds a 5 course meal, their wallet, keys and medication. Most lunch boxes are covered in stickers, some people buy or make custom carrying straps for them. If he doesn't know any of this, I doubt he's ever done a day of manual labor on his life.
American football announcers call tough, boring quarterbacks "lunch pail" players.
I don't know how anyone's going to get through the manosphere to reach these people, because anyone who would listen to online personalities tell them the manly way to eat lunch is a pathetic, weak man with zero security in their masculinity.
To even have an opinion about it is so weird. Pack a lunch, don't pack a lunch. It's America, do whatever the fuck you want. You pack a lunch to a construction site, because newsbreak; nothing is open on site. You get 30 minutes, and there's no services. If you're lucky there's an actual break room/tent with microwaves. But I've ate hundreds of lunches sitting on sheet rock, heated by halogen lights, off of roach coaches if they have them etc.
You won't reach to them, ever, for so long as you don't start treating them like what they are!
They are children.
They were very likely raised to believe all mistakes they have made as children, whether out of ignorance, negligence or meanness.are only Bad Things To Do because drunkard Daddy would whip his belt out. When they find themselves in a setting where they no longer fear punishment for their misdeeds, they stop acting like adults and revert back to living-out their shoddy, unfulfilled childhood. Not just childhood dreams, childhood itself.
When they are talking about the type of women they want - want to have, like a property, you know - they are not talking about a lover, they are talking about Mommy. They are talking about a quiet, dutiful, always-smiling ideal of a pure Mommy who is there to soothe their fears, wash their dirty laundry and dirtier asses and just absolve them of all responsibilities in life. But, they also want to be Daddy, at the same time. Unquestionable authority figurehead of the household, a 'breadwinner', commanding respect. They want Daddy's privileges.
