There's a one minute video with the joke in the tweet.

Aside from from the obvious shit on whether you should wokescold stand-up comedians (of course you should), it made me think about the weird position straight cis dude gender nonconformity has in today's progressive spaces. Like there are people with trans flags in qrts explaining that a straight guy having his nails painted is a bad sign.

Here in Russia when I was growing up you could get beat up for being a guy with painted nails. One time I almost did.

    Early on in primary school we had Friday afternoons as free time. On one of these days, some girls from the next room over were going around saying "Does any boy want his nails polished?" The most macho and contrarian boy in the grade above me volunteered, and they painted his nails some mix of pink and purple. He didn't usually smile much, but he smiled a lot that day.
