whats with the concept of manliness in letting snakes bite you? LOL

[Bogertophis]

...What's with the repeated idea among men of having to handle feisty snakes without gloves on, because apparently letting feisty snakes bite you proves you "have a pair" or are otherwise manly? ...

The smarter you are, the less "brave" you have to be... And I'm a gal too so I'll never "grow [or have] a pair" but FYI guys, if you want to put on some gloves so
you have hands left that aren't shredded, it's perfectly fine with me.
