What's the most absurd thing you've seen someone refuse to do because of toxic masculinity?

One time I heard a guy say he wasn't gonna push a shopping cart cause it was "f***y". Never understood that. He looked like a real doofus pulling it by the front.

Funny? Funky? Frisky? Feisty? Frosty? What mystery do you hide behind these asterisks?!

My guess would be "faggy".

Dude couldn't type it once and you ended up typing it twice. That's hilarious.

(And yes, I'm a card-carrying gay fag queer homosexual)

We have cards now?

Yes as soon as someone figures out their sexuality they have to apply for a government ID declaring their sexuality, it's like a driver's license but it's for sex. A sexuality license. That's where they formally declare their pronouns too.

I know, I know, but I really don't like to use that word even in context. It's the bad word for gay that also means bundle of sticks... y.

I really thought it was “fruity”. I guess it seems obvious in retrospect. Neither is great but, yeah, that one is worse…

I worked in retail for 8 years and I occasionally pull from the front too out of habit. It gives you more notice with people when approaching aisles. I don't see the connection to it being more manly though.
