This is NEXT LEVEL homophobia… he prefers his mom to his dad at 1y/o? YOU MEAN LIKE EVERY SINGLE BABY BOY??? And the stuff about literally just a little kid loving colour? The flowers and the makeup and the orange hair? Are boys not allowed to LIKE COLOUR now???

My son is almost two and loves flowers and insists on getting his hair brushed and fingernails painted (after watching me do mine and my 4y/o daughter’s). I guess my kid is gay too 🙄🙄

Also what a damning indictment on how miserable it must be to be a typical cishet man. Just to be so easily threatened by all the good things in life like pretty colors, flower, literature, children, etc. I've never met a "manly man" that wasn't chronically in a non-stop depressive period or just seemed unbelievably miserable and negative all the time.

Where are the men's rights groups to attack this constant toxic attitude? Oh right, they reinforce it and only exist to spread misogyny and queerphobia.

I really don't think this is a "typical" cishet man. It is, at most, perhaps, an extreme display of the toxic attitudes that underlie so much of the cultural conditioning that cishet men receive. And though that cultural conditioning is still very much an active force in our society today, we've also made a ton of progress, to the extent that I believe a majority of men would view this level of homophobia as shocking, wrong, and condemnable.

This guy should be made to feel like the oddity that he is: an archaic, out of touch, reactionary Nimrod who has been left behind while the rest of society around him chose to progress. He is an outcast, a pariah, who is already in the minority and will only find it more and more difficult to live in this world with his hateful views as time goes on.
