    I have never heard that and it deeply disturbs me because this does seem like it’d be an American thing…

      It’s a joke. The phrase is “better dead than red” and is an anti-communist phrase.

        And then they wonder why american men have a mental health crisis. Well, buddy, part of it is you.

        What part of any of that makes it partly because of me? This seem more like an off-topic rant.

        I am an American and the only two I’ve heard is:

        “don’t masturbate because touching a penis is gay”

        Every time has been religion driven homophobia related.

        don’t get prostate exams (this one may be more self-explainitory, doesn’t make it right though).

        Goes back to the last one as well.

        Probably why religion has been on a decline.
