my dad believed it for 50 sum years. He was told to get married and have kids, my mom knew he was gay when they got married. When she outed him last year we ALL knew (well, thought he was bi anyways).
Now he’s fully out, my mom hasn’t talked to me in about 10 months, and I have boobs now.
Honestly, realizing how painfully masculine the average straight man is, is so much worse of a realization than discovering my own dad is gay.
Now imagine being bombarded by this nonsense for 12 years during your formative years, because I don’t have to imagine.

What is a painfully masculine trait?
The classic is “big boys don’t cry”
Masculine social standard. Personally painful and shaming for a lot of guys
Yeah, that honestly sucks, sometimes I just want/ need someone to talk to.
