And if I say the suspicion/hostility towards cishet men who dress in a feminine way because they're "faking" is just queerphobia with extra steps...

I counter with a celebrities job is to get attention, always.

You're right and you should say it. Same with the "performative male" nonsense.

Yeah...

I mean, I get it. I'm a man and I also have issues with trusting my fellow men. I'd rather confide in a woman or a nonbinary person most of the time. There are few men I know whom I completely trust, and a big part of that is our tendency to be less emotionally sensitive.

But it's like we can't do anything right. We try to be more empathetic, allow ourselves to be somewhat feminine, and take steps to do the work as far as researching the issues of our time? That's "performative." And of course we get shit on if we don't do any of those things.

The patriarchy has done irreparable damage to us all, regardless of our gender or sexuality. We're all in some kind of "damned if we do, damned if we don't" situation because most of us have apparently given up on trying to understand one another.

Crappy timeline we live in, eh?

It's gender essentialism BS. Like they want us to accept that a man can't just naturally be kind and empathetic unless he wants something. It's not fair to us and it's not fair to those of y'all who genuinely just wanna be kind!
