This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Because that's seen as less manly.

Which is kinda the opposite of ironic, because obviously, manly things are things men like.

Imagine a man's reaction to a breakup would be to get into things women like, like exfoliating, trimming your eyebrows, etc. People would probably be like "He's so much better without her".

I've had more than one woman in my life tell me how gay I am for having an oatmeal exfoliating facewash and moisturizer in my shower. because apparently i'm suppose to use soap only or something.

Some women are for the patriarchy.

Sometimes, an "Are you gay" from a woman even is a "why are you not fucking me"; be it subconsciously, or a conscious flirty challenge.

Sometimes, it's a "My man would never do anything like that and other man shouldn't make him look bad in comparison". Although I guess that's the patriarchy thing again. Just like red pill podcast pickmes.

Of course all doesn't matter, you could be the most effeminate man in the world - as long as you're attracted to women, there's no question.
