How homosexual of you.

That’s the gayest thing I heard in a while. I see you talking but all I can hear are massive throating noises.

Also Shampoo:

Shampoo (Hindi: chāmpo from Sanskrit capayati: to press, knead, or soothe) entered Europe in the mid‑18th century when Sake Dean Mahomed, an Indian entrepreneur, opened the first shampooing salon in Brighton, England; his establishments popularised the Ayurvedic blend of herbs, oils, and extracts that are origin of today’s shampoo. Before that, Europeans did not use a dedicated cleansing product. Hair was typically rinsed with water mixed with vinegar, ash or herbs, and many households relied on egg‑yolk washes (often beaten with warm water) as a gentle cleanser and conditioner. These rudimentary methods kept hair relatively clean but left residues that could weigh the hair down, especially under the heavy wigs fashionable from the late‑16th century onward. Wigs offered a practical solution before shampoo: they protected the scalp from lice, reduced the need for frequent washing, and allowed wearers to maintain a tidy appearance despite the limited cleaning agents available.

Your username screams “perceive me!”

Who said that? Show yourself!

Must have been the wind…

Lol, meanwhile the bisexuals don’t want to be perceived as gay because it’s cutting their dating potential in half. Is that fear, because it’s so self serving, worse or better than the homophobic reason of the straights?

That’s funny, but it’s also misrepresenting. Cross-dressing want really something that men would get away with u-assaulted … unless you’re Freddie Mercu. For how “manly men” were portrayed, look up Don Johnson with skinny ties and shoulder pads.

Yep. Pathetic worthless dumbfucks. Normal men do not even think about such things.

I drive an EV, use my e bike to shop, carry my own bags both bike and car, and have a portable collapsible basket for shopping if I use my car. No one has ever asked if or suggested that I’m gay.

In fact, I see more people assuming I have kids (I have none).

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

amen 🙏

That doesn’t sound great at all.

Fellas, is it gay to ingest external stimuli to guide your personal decision making framework?

At very least, giving a shit makes you “woke” and the intent is the same as when they use gay as a slur (at least as far as i can follow their logic)

It also makes you more appealing to women but the men don’t know that because Joe Rogan won’t invite a woman on his podcast to talk about it

Yeah, in the 1950s you were a big tough guy if you wore all leather and had tattoos.

Now you might be a tough biker dude, sure, or you might be a power bottom with a kink.

I am convinced that there is legitimately a genetic cognitive deficit which makes people think this way, because it is just so obvious and transparent to me that it can’t be an accident.

I think you’re imagining this as a more conscious process than it actually is. The reason you need to go out and research this is because these men aren’t going around saying, “yeah, I was going to put my pepsi can in the metal recycling but I was worried my bro would call me gay so I just put it in the general waste.” Instead, sometimes men put pepsi cans in general waste, and sometimes men do things due to social perceptions, and sometimes those social perceptions are that certain things are “unmanly” and working out which things are related to each other is quite hard.

So there’s no paradox here. All people are subject to social pressures, and the vast majority of people make some effort to conform to those pressures in order to fit in and to receive approval from the people they value. Conforming to fit in isn’t “weak” or “insecure”, it’s the nature of being a social animal, and is done instinctively - if you think it’s done “obsessively” then you’re imposing the analytical mindset of someone studying the evidence on the subjects of the research, which is a fundamental error. It’d be like saying someone who subconsciously mirrors the mannerisms of someone they respect is “obsessed” with getting their approval, when they likely don’t realise they’re doing it.

Also, I feel like they’ve never considered that gay doesn’t necessarily mean effeminate. Or even that effeminate doesn’t necessarily mean weak/meek.

They almost certainly haven’t because, again, if you’re “considering” it, it’s not the right concept. The concept that people are trying to avoid is the one that’s labeled “gay” by their peers, which is really more of a gender thing than a sexuality thing; “what are you, gay?” isn’t a question about someone’s sexuality, it’s a suggestion that someone is not conforming to the gender role expected of them. You can’t successfully challenge that by saying “ackshually gay people can be v strong and they forget to put the pepsi can in the correct bin far more often than you might imagine.” They’ll just reply with, “OK bro sounds pretty gay,” because you didn’t challenge them on what they meant, only on what you thought they meant.

The challenge has to be more along the lines of creating a better awareness of societal expectations, tolerance of people who don’t conform to them, and building up positive associations between behaviours we want to promote and conforming things people already value, to help them see things in a new light.
