In my experience: Manliness is a fake, plastic thing used by people trying to outloud eachother on how totally not gay they are.
Nothing wrong with being gay at all, but homophobia seems to drive "manliness" like some crazy NOT GAY competition.
My feminine wants and desires resurfaced after I got tired of manually emulating what was expected of me as a man.
Who knew forcing people to be something they're not can be damaging?
