He’s eating it with a spoon so no one can say he eats bananas for the shape

      These people must be incredibly insecure in their own sexuality.

    I am always fascinated how the man who is strong enough in his convictions to do whatever the hell he wants is considered the “weak” one whereas the “macho” shit is afraid of his own shadow and that some other man may not like what he’s doing.

      In the 90s, especially in high school environments, homophobia wasn’t just common, it was socially reinforced. Gay was used as an insult, casually and constantly. People rarely questioned it. Teachers didn’t intervene unless things turned violent, and even then, the issue addressed was the aggression, never the prejudice. It was an era when appearing different, even slightly, could make you a target. Most people avoided standing out if they could help it.

      During that time my grandma gave me a pink terrycloth nightgown. On her it was a nightgown, but on me it fit more like a long shirt. I thought it was amusing and comfortable, so I wore it regularly without giving it much weight.

      Each time someone hurled gay slurs at me, I replied, “I’m secure enough not to care what other people think. Can you say the same?” They usually followed up with more immature remarks, which I’d call out too. The problem wasn’t what I wore, it was that I wasn’t afraid to wear it.

      I feel likes it’s the “loudest voice in the room” effect. There’s so many insecure men that security is rarely visible and thus ostracized as otherly.

    I thought long and hard about what it would mean to me if someone called me “not a man” for anything I do and I came to the following conclusion: nothing. I can do all the same things with or without the label “man”. Funny.

      From the other side, I got told I was “unladylike” many times and that never made me change.

    Friendly reminder that vast majority of people are hiding their true identity out of shame and will play a “tough” character to compesate their “glass persona”. But keep in mind that looking tough is not the same as actually being tough, this is what these actors dont understand until they harass a guy who is crazier than them and now they are in a hospital.

    I have seen these cucks personally, they are midwits and will play a volatile character to “impress” or “scare” you (does not work with me lol), they believe showing “manly” behavior will make them atrractive to women but women would rather chose to be near me instead of them everytime they are present (and I am an ugly guy lol). I say that from experience 💀.

    There’s a lot of gay ways to eat a banana…

    But I can’t imagine a gayer way someone would legitimately try to eat a banana than with a spoon.

    Like, being ridiculous, sure, chopsticks. But maybe doing this but mashing it up with a bobba straw till it was a smoothie and drinking it

    I’d like to sexily eat a banana for someone, but I have a lot of flavor and texture issues regarding food. Maybe there’s a way to seductively eat ramen…

    I went to a Lourde concert.

    Because Run the Jewels was opening.

    What now?
