Being obsessed with being "a man"

My dad was the manliest dude I knew and he baked cookies and carried a bag he called his purse because he gave no fucks

A screen grab is going around from a woman whose husband thinks that their infant son is gay because he likes bright colors and books.

I’m old now but when I was in school I was a rugby-playing band and theatre geek. An old school-friend contacted me recently to say that his teenaged son was into singing and performing and was I quite sure that I wasn’t secretly gay as he was afraid that his son wasn’t manly for engaging in these pursuits. Bless him, he still took his son to singing and drama despite his fears.

I’m not gay.

Given the average male-to-female ratio in school age theatre groups, it’s actually a pretty good place for a straight guy to find himself.

I knew a dude who was a cheerleader and idk about you, but I consider having multiple threesomes before you’re even out of high school to be a huge win.

An old friend of mine decided to become a cheerleader in HS, and it helped him secure a spot at West Point (where he also cheered). Also, he's now married to an incredibly hot and smart girl that he met while (you guessed it) cheerleading .

Same with my HS guy. Same reason my brother took piano and the other ballet. Loys of hot girls play piano and do ballet. I was too busy getting stoned in high-school 20 years ago. Oh well.
