One time I heard a guy say he wasn't gonna push a shopping cart cause it was "f***y". Never understood that. He looked like a real doofus pulling it by the front.
Yes as soon as someone figures out their sexuality they have to apply for a government ID declaring their sexuality, it's like a driver's license but it's for sex. A sexuality license. That's where they formally declare their pronouns too.
I worked in retail for 8 years and I occasionally pull from the front too out of habit. It gives you more notice with people when approaching aisles. I don't see the connection to it being more manly though.
