I miss the era where a woman could be masculine and a man feminine without being considered trans. "Gender is a social construct" and all that, remember? That was less than a decade ago. I will never understand why the left became even more rigid on gender roles than the right, but in a different way.
When, exactly, was this ever the case? This wasn’t true when I was a kid, and it certainly wasn’t true when my parents were young. Public displays of femininity have never been socially acceptable for men. And masculinity among girls (tomboys, if you will) has always been viewed with at least some suspicion.
