    Not in my experience. women my own age and a generation younger than me ask me if I’m gay regularly, or assume I am gay.

    because of stupid shit like that I drink tea, read books, cook, clean, have a cat, don’t drive a pickup truck, etc. these things are all ‘feminine’ coded, and if you engage in them as a man you must be effeminate and therefore gay.

    a lot of people have a really bizarrely narrow conception of what a heterosexual man must be and any deviation from that image makes them instantly assume you’re partially homosexual.
