I tend to think it's because irl liking traditional femme stuff is expected and the norm, where disliking that or liking more masc things gets you called out or mocked a lot. Then you go online and you can find your people and vent about all that.

I don't think it is that common anymore, but it was definitely like that in the 2000s for me. Though I was never one to mock or belittle any women who did like the expected "girly" stuff. I was just happy to find people that also liked the things I liked.

My experience growing up was that the feminine was considered inferior. There was a drive to emphasize the masculine parts of ourselves in order to prove that we were equal.

I suspect that this experience also plays a role, particularly since the culture more broadly tends to bolster the feminine = inferior (and supporting/passive), masculine = superior (and leading/active) assumption.

This was my experience as well.
