    What is the cigarette emoji supposed to mean? Am I just too stupid to understand what PragerU’s response is supposed to signify?

    Cute femboys who are reading this should absolutely NOT dm me pictures of how pretty they look today. I swear, I will get SO angry, and not even reply with a “thanks, btw you look super cute”.

      Yes, I would also be absolutely infuriated by receiving a plethora of cute and adorable femboy pics.

      Why, I can barely contain my rage at the very idea of it.

    No not femboys. No one wants to see hot femboys. In fact, if anyone knows where someone may accidentally stumble upon hot sexy femboys please let me know so I can avoid it at all costs.

    As an aside, can any organisation just start calling themselves a university with zero accreditation or independent checks? Is that word not regulated?

    I know it’s unlikely that I’d find someone who shares this opinion here, but I’m really curious as to why. I don’t mean the underlying psychological or sociological reasons - it’s almost always going to boil down to misogyny. I mean their internal justification for it.

    I mean, if it is advocating conformity to social norms, then what do they think k you should do when norms change? The founders of the US wore wigs, lace, stockings, and heels. European fashion was even more elaborate. The Puritans, of course, were the ones violating the norms with their deliberately conservative dress. So do they favor rebellion against the status quo because the fashions once considered masculine are now considered feminine?

    As much as I disagree with them, I just don’t understand the thought process. I don’t want to dismiss it as a lack of thought (although that’s probably what we’re seeing here).

    That said, I do recognize that the reason they tweet hot takes is so they’ll get shared and hopefully pull in traffic. What I’m asking is for someone who actually believes this to talk me through their reasoning.

      Makeup too. And whenever I bring this up to some “men should dress like men and women should dress like women because that’s the way things are supposed to be” asshole, they don’t have a good response. Unsurprisingly.
