Not at all. it’s more about forcing their girlfriends into male-coded roles, like the whole “pickle jar” stereotype, and shoving women into a “you’re the boy, I’m the girl” dynamic. Basically pushing a heteronormative script onto a queer relationship.

I can def approach “unlearn the heteronormative script” messaging in good faith because I do think we owe it to ourselves, but that post was talking about “avoiding women who don’t act like men”, which isn’t remotely the same as “forcing male-coded roles on their girlfriends”. and with the latter, the “forcing” part is the whole problem… yet it wasn’t mentioned at all in the post

stop dating women who want mascs then bro. date femme for femme. accusing bi women who are feminine of forcing masculinity onto you is harmful, if you don’t want to be masc when they want a masc just BREAK UP WITH THEM. like it literally is that simple
