Why is the comment about being gay, he's talking about "emasculation", so this is about masculinity, not about heteronormativity. Still, assigning your perceived masculine virtues to everyone is kinda cringe ngl, as is defining femininity as inferior.
I mean generally toxic masculinity comes with a healthy dose of homophobia on the side too
- reads Vogue
- cares this much about what other men are doing
- thinks having children with Rihanna is emasculating
For a guy whose whole identity is based around their opinion of what straight masculinity is, this is an interesting hill to die on.
Because emasculation of men is just a dog whistle for bigots. At best. At worst it is just a euphemism.
Yes, those are two different things. For bigots they might be the same thing.
End of the day, both are just cultural war olympics for dumb masses.
Any energy spent trying to generalize some already poorly defined mass of people is wasted energy.
