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.

    there are definitely some cishet dudes painting their nails who suck, but not at a higher rate than there are shitty cishet dudes who don't paint their nails. complaints specifically about how that's a bad sign seem like bog standard gnc-phobia (for lack of a better term, since it isn't quite homophobia or transphobia, but it's right there with a lot of overlap.)
