Armed Man disrupts storytime with Drag Queen

What do you define as "feminine?" Because as a man, you have no right to slap a label on what you think is "feminine." Only women have the right to decide that. And if attitudes have changed in the last 50 years, if women have changed, that's their right and we must respect that.

It seems to me that "bigot" is simply a word that is used to bully people into accepting whatever the cultural elites deem we ought to accept.

Let us not say things that we cannot take back.

I kind of liked Eddie Izzard's explanation of it, which is that he was like the male version of a tomboy, which makes sense (at least to me).

I remember him saying it. I don't quite feel it though. Google imaging it, yeah I guess tomboy goes in that direction. Just that it's less peculiar when there are feminine pants and dare I say t-shirts. Closest I've seen to a tomgirl(?) is the male romper, which I think might be more of a prototype or something.

Are there even tomboys anymore? Modern femininity has become pretty stereotypically masculine in general.

I see modern femininity to that regard as more political and in drastic cases tribalistic, on a personal level it's more independent in prospect from men while tomboys are more socially oriented towards guys. It's like the warp engines in Star Trek, how they keep the ship in a bubble of normal space but warp space around it to convey the ship and bubble together to get where they need to go faster. Tomboys are more like hyperspace where they leave normal space and just run with it. If that makes any sense.

And do women have the right to decide what is masculine? If not, then I don't want to hear another woman use the term ''toxic masculinity'' ever again. Somehow I suspect you are going to be less certain in your moral certitude with the tables turned but we'll see.

I don't think it's a matter of purveyance.

I believe in "toxic femininity," if that helps? But based on our societal view of gender stereotypes.

Hell yeah there's still tomboys! That's the type of woman I'm most attracted to as it happens.

Misty was most epic tomboy.
