  • I could see it being written about a lot of straight men. The world is full of deeply insecure emotionally stunted man-children, bullied at school for being supposedly ‘feminine’ or ‘gay’, who now overcompensate by riding around in huge trucks, being right-wing douche canoes, and pretending to be ‘alpha’. It’s no coincidence that plenty of those types end up killing themselves too, despite supposedly being in a position of privilege.

    Society is patriarchal and heteronormative. This hurts almost everyone to a certain degree.

    Not that I’m discounting the very real predjudice the LGBTQ+ community faces. It has cost me a job or two. Fortunately I’m bi and look stereotypically masculine, so I’m able to fly under the radar most of the time. And coming to terms with my sexuality has really opened my world and broadened my horizons, which has helped me immensely.


  • All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.

    Look at all the straight men, who are performatively masculine. Look at how angry and insecure they are, because they’re unable to be honest about their supposedly ‘feminine’ characteristics and interests.

    Look at tradwives and performatively feminine women. Often unhappy because they can never conform fully to an artificial and socially constructed female ideal. Look at how they often project that frustration on other marginalised groups.
