if you think men should be admired for crying, showing affection, wearing make up or fulfilling the BARE MINIMUM of being a proper s.o dont look at me

gonna add some shit before someone accuses me of hating gays and gnc men for the 2nd point lol

first of all its not gnc bc its such a western perspective from which youre looking at it. in my (west/southeast asian) family the men DO cry and they DO show affection towards each other like hugging and kissing on the cheeks is entirely common and accepted behavior and guess what? they still hate women. they still treat their wives and daughters like shit and show just as much ‘toxic masculinity’ as every other man

and honestly even if wearing make up is gnc why should we celebrate men for that? women get called fake, superficial and dumb for putting so much effort into their appearance (remember the “take her swimming on the first date” meme) but when a man does it it’s suddenly admirable? literally no one is stopping men from crying anymore or judging them for it (ive witnessed a fair share of grown adult men crying btw) but women are still seen as overreacting hysterical bitches when they show any negative emotion? i see.

tldr; women getting thrown under the bus to uplift men when both are doing the same thing is nothing new, its just repackaged misogyny under the guise of being ~open-minded~
