The internet is full of people ranging from professional athletes, to self-professed public trainers dishing out life and health advice.
Finding one that someone can trust is truly a minefield with so many touting their latest method as the best one out there and denouncing others.
For one Aussie Hyrox athlete, it would seem that the best way to be a man is the most disrespectful ways possible.
And when Cam Butler took to his Instagram to tell people how to be a man, he urged people to seemingly be the worst versions of themselves.
Something that has drawn the ire of the commenters on his post as many pushed back against his ideas.
Cam Butler has come under fire for the advice he has given followers on how to be a man
One user implored Meta, the parent company of Instagram to remove the post
Butler has logged a number of impressive Hyrox results, winning his most recent competition
Butler is in impressive shape, of that there can be no doubt and he sits in the elite sector setting a doubles time of sub one-hour in his most recent attempt.
But that does not detract from the outright disrespect and disregard for people and yourself that he has suggested is the best way to be a man.
On his Instagram he posted a video of himself and his Hyrox partner running around an athletics track.
The video was captioned ‘Be a man’ and the video featured the following list of ways to do so.
‘Forget birthdays. Work too much. Don’t wear sunscreen. Train everyday. Call people fat, r*****d and lazy. Protect women and children. Travel the world.’
A list that features maybe one idea that people seemed to universally get behind, that being ‘protect women and children’ and even then he was questioned on that point.
‘What about the bloke ya train with he cheats on women is that protecting them,’ one commenter wrote.
Many in the comments section took aim at his suggestion that men should not wear sunscreen. Â
One such user implored Meta, the parent brand of Instagram to ‘please remove this problematic misinformation from instagram.’
While another added, ‘Don’t wear sunscreen and get burned and skin damage. Real smart.’
It goes without saying but the dangers of prolonged sun exposure far outweigh any potential positive and sunburn certainly wouldn’t make someone more manly.
Cancer Council Australia calls sunscreen ‘an essential part of being safe in the sun.’
Their study has found that two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime and 2,000 Aussies die from the disease each year.
They go on to write, ‘the evidence is clear – sunscreen saves lives.
‘It’s one of five important ways to reduce the risk of skin cancer (Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide).
‘Put simply, whenever UV levels are 3 or above, we recommend a sunscreen that is SPF50 or SPF50+, broad-spectrum and water resistant for the highest level of protection.’
