homosexuality

It's very exciting that society has seemingly finally reached a point where most empathetic people do not use 'That's so gay' as an insult. Meaning, homosexuality is more normalized today than it was when millennials were growing up. But, that being said, there were so many things that people deemed not fit for straight men, and those comments definitely linger in your mind, even if you know it was a ridiculous statement.

On Reddit, straight men are revealing the ridiculous things they were cautioned not to do because such things were 'too gay.'

As a woman, there are a lot of things I don't understand about straight men. But I suppose that is to be expected considering I have never existed on this earth as a man. What is funny, however, is that gay men apparently are also confused by the things that straight men say and do. This is probably because society has placed a lot more weight on one's sexual preference than is really necessary. Gay men, in terms of self-expression, have a lot more freedom. While straight men have very rigid expectations. A straight man is expected to be attracted to women, but that's not enough. He needs to be super manly, and love trucks and war, but also hate his wife? There seems to be a lot to unpack here.
