How could that change though? I can't imagine men not priding themselves on being masculine, seems like something innately male and as old as time
Homophobes are always either gays who haven't accepted themselves yet or straight guys who are not comfortable in their straightness.
It's about attitudes. When public attitudes to gay (and trans) people get better, it should help kill this hypermasculinity culture. It's about not seeing femininity as a bad thing.
I agree. I am a manly man and do not give a rat's ass if the guy sitting next to me on public transportation is gay or straight or bi or likes fucking his toaster. As long as he isn't doing it right there.
