I think itโ€™s overcompensation for the constant degradation of femininity in the world

its like DEI; it can be argued as being unfair, until you step back and realize it doesn't go far enough. Masculinity is still the only thing idolized, femininity is only idolized in a "isn't that cute" way. True femininity is rarely actually accepted as equal, much less idolized.

Im a feminine man. (Genderfluid/genderqueer idk). Ive noticed only likeโ€ฆ pan/bi women like me(i dont like men). My gay friends are super supportive and helped me when i had a breakdown about being ashamed and how i masked so bad it hurt.

Which totally tracks. though the sentiments differ when its time to accept our own. Im speaking mostly about attraction/partnering here. femme hate is literally the reason gays coined the term masc4masc. to weed out the guys they like to discard.

Damn. Thats lame, but i guess if femme men dont do it for them? Thats kinda why i gave up on straight women. If youre not into femininity, you wont like femme men. And thats okay.
