Shaming men for not being "manly" [View all]
Seriously why is this still a thing?
People wouldn't dream of laughing at a woman just because she liked to wear camo print clothing. You wouldn't see many people openly yukking it up over her wearing 'manly' clothes, so why is it still so common to hear boys and men being shamed by calling the stuff they do/wear/enjoy 'girly'.
And it's almost always 'girly'. Not 'womanly'. Like the worst thing in the world to be like is a girl.
Fucking pisses me off.
And I know a lot of people just dismiss this as not a big deal but I swear it is at the root of so much bullshit.
The central idea is that things defined as being in the purview of females are beneath males. (I know everyone on this group knows this already.) That is a hateful, toxic idea and it has to die. Like, yesterday.
Eddie Izzard setting some morons straight: "They're not women's clothes. They're my clothes. I bought them."
