    "Muh dick"

    Why do you want to drive as manly as possible Greene? By your logic, you are defecting from your gender, and doesn't that make you one of us icky icky queer people?

    Accusing the right of being secretly queer is wrong, but it's interesting how the right is allowed to disobey gender roles more than the left. If they are such model citizens, shouldn't they be held to a higher standard?

      it's because the audience is presumed to be male. she's speaking as a male viewer rather than as herself. it's a weird kind of surrogacy.

      They're only allowed to disobey gender roles unidirectionally — only masculinity is considered valuable, femininity is considered shameful, even for cis women (though cis women who are not conservative pundits or politicians are expected to submit to that shame meekly).
