Maybe you\u2019ve never noticed, given that feminists are always talking about the ladies, that there are lots and lots and lots of things that (real) men are not supposed to do. For instance: drink fruity drinks, wear pink shoes, look at their fingernails the wrong way, enjoy a \u201cchick flick,\u201d like a girl, like cats, prefer not to fight, care about grades, eat salad\u2026 should I go on? You get the gist.<\/p>\n
Comparably, women have got it good. We\u2019re allowed to knit and play soccer, be a mom and be a lawyer, take dance and karate, wear skirts and pants!<\/p>\n
How do we make sense of this? Crash course: Femininity is just for chicks. When men do feminine things, they are debasing themselves. Masculinity is awesome and for everyone. When women do masculine things, they\u2019re awesome. This is sexism: Masculinity rules, femininity drools. Men are encouraged to stay away from femininity, so their individual choices are constrained, but they also are staying away from something debasing. In contrast, women are required to do a least some femininity, so women are required to debase themselves, at least a little bit, even as they are given more options.<\/p>\n
I say this all to introduce this hilarious example of men and how they have to worry about doing masculinity<\/p>\n
