A schoolmate used to say "If you do X, you are gay". Every time he said that, i did X
Exactly. Or when something is considered weak, or lame, or effeminate... "Gay."
Everything that wasn’t Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris, et all, was considered effeminate: “gay”. Using words like “effeminate “: “gay”. Guys piercing anything other than their left ear: “gay”. Not being cool: “gay”.
Yep. I lived as a teenager through that era. It was all pervasive on the male identity.
If you go through my posting history, you'll see that I know a guy who is my age who is still stuck in that mindset. He's 53, but still likes to brag aobut fistfights in his 20's, and presents this "I'm the most Badass who ever Badassed in history" persona that was normal at the time. It's like he's still 15 in his mind, which he certainly is. It's pathetic.
He also still thinks Hair Metal is the best music ever made, Steven Seagal is a badass, and everything in life can be broken down into the dichotomy of it's either BADASS or PUSSY. It's interesting if it wasn't so annoying, and obnoxious. I used to feel sorry for the guy, but over time learned it's just malignant narcissism and psychopathy. It's a good thing he's mostly all mouth, or he would've been at Charlottesville or the Capitol on Jan 6. It wouldn't surprise me if he eventually shot some place up, because of the "Blue Haired Feminazis and the Libcucks." Because Fox, Matt Walsh, and Ben Shapiro told him what to think.
