    Hold my arms in a position so that my hands grab the sides of my belly.

    (which wasn’t even something I was consciously doing, but apparently it was enough to make a fellow male teenager exclaim sarcastically that I was truly standing there in a very heterosexual way)

    I was born in Victorian Britain and have a very mirthful air about me.

    So one day I was going about my merry business, being my jovial self.

    When I’m walked a creature that saw what I was about, smiled at me and said ‘well aren’t you the gayest person I’ve met all day’.

    I’m not sure how to feel tbh

    Haven’t heard “gay” as a pejorative in real life since high school in the late 90s.

    It’s funny to me all the times that I’ve been considered not manly enough, whether it’s wearing my hot pink vans or a pink shirt or tie, allowing my gf or now my daughters to paint my nails, and tons of other examples I’ve been called gay for too. It made me think, what really makes a man. And going by their own definition, isn’t it one sign of a man to not be swayed by the opinion of someone who seeks only to denigrate? So why would I care about their opinion?

    Wear a kilt?

    TBH I’ve never tried and nobody told me it was gay. But I’m a sweaty person and I would love to air out my crotch except for fear of social criticism.

    Putting a wig on my best friend and spooning him while he’s asleep.

    Wearing an earring in your right ear, but it’s ok to wear it in the left… Or the other way around. I could never remember which.

      Are dudes really out there with shitty cheeks because “wiping is gay”? I refuse to believe this

        100%. Even meet someone who sort of smells like shit? Outside of some rare medical disorders, they smell like this because they don’t wipe. A couple kids in my class once argued something like “my dog doesn’t wipe when he poos, we aren’t supposed to either”.

        Lots of lady friends complained to me in the past about their boyfriend’s skid marks and asked me what my girlfriend did to remove them from the wash. Like it was a totally normal “boys will be boys” trope.

          What the fuck

          I… actually don’t think I’ve ever met someone that smelled like literal shit. Some homeless people that smell like piss, sure, but that has other reasons.

          I almost feel sorry for these people, surely this idea of not wiping has to come from somewhere and it’s not something they came up with.
