AYRT
(Anonymous) 2015-11-05 12:48 am (UTC)(link)I'm not "pretending" that no one is attracted to masculinity, or that it's "foisted on women by the patriarchy" (seriously, did I say ANYTHING like that?).
But it seems to be assumed that masculine men are always more attractive to ALL people who like men (not just women). That if a man isn't really masculine, no one will be attracted to him.
And I've been basically told that I'm just "trying to be different" to look better than other people for expressing attraction to men who aren't manly. I find that annoying.
None of that is saying that no one is really attracted to masculinity. It's saying people who are attracted to masculinity don't need to act like all men should try to fit their preference, and they don't need to act like other people CAN'T be attracted to less masculine men.
Re: AYRT
My boyfriend is shorter than me, isn't muscular, or athletic...he's basically this geeky guy with glasses.
And I've been asked (on multiple occasions) if he's my type, and then met with surprise if I answer yes.
The expectation IS annoying.
Not to mention that when I was single there have been cases of people trying to set me up with dudes who were really, really not my type.
