Breaking the "rules" of masculinity.
Many years ago I worked for a medical company. A coworker (Boomer dude) and I were demonstrating a lift mechanism when I made the joke: last time I got in a harness, there was a safe word.
The joke killed, but my coworker was mad for weeks because in the joke, I implied we were going to have sex.
for weeks ?? holy shit, that snowflake took its time to melt
A lot of these rules are stupid.
Recently there was a news article about a politician dissing Kamala Harris’ husband for grocery shopping with her. The fact that anyone would even stop to consider it not being “masculine” is corny as fuck.
I do this with my wife all the time—we both eat, and we have wildly different diets (I’m vegan)—why would I just pile all my shit on her plate and make it her responsibility? Because I might be seen as gay by someone in a MAGA hat?
I just don't like going to the store, sue me!
I think it's totally reasonable to be mad at someone for being sexually suggestive, especially in a work environment.
