Basically just something people say that indicates a position indirectly, like how seperatists from a given region might always say they’re from [region] and not [country] or how trump supporters call AI “SI” now.

    Another white not very masculine male here - which I think is every bit as normal as being a woman who isn’t an insanely hot babe. It’s weird when things that are almost fringe become unattainable standards for a vast majority who really have no reason to feel inadequate.

      The “white not very masculine male” piece was added to highlight that some people make assumptions about my sexuality when I use the word partner.

      I’m plenty confident and happy with myself. I’m pretty fit, just not big.

      I’m happy to give out hugs though! The marketing world is hell bent on making people feel inadequate so I understand your sentiment.
