I have a suspicion that a lot of cishet men are shy and reticent about challenging gender norms because they have this internalized idea that it isn't their lane. Go for it, yo. You have the best armor rating. Tank.

The world is full of otherwise-totally-straight guys who want to wear pretty socks or whatever. Normativity on one side, and thinking that they aren't "weird" enough on the other.

man one of my male friends was deriding me for wearing pink socks to the gym, and i was like, mate i own it, why you so afraid of being perceived of as gay??

@0x3F My favorite bit of trivia regarding this is that blue used to be feminine, and pink masculine. They just arbitrarily reversed it at some point.

@Zero_Democracy @0x3F Oh that history is interesting, that came about because of nazi germany. The nazis branded homosexual men with pink triangles so to avoid the association with gay men, blue became the mens color in the western world
