    Its big and gross and terrible. Its loud and awkward and I hate it.

    That seems like a fairly reductive way of thinking about masculinity - there's a whole range of masculine gender expression archetypes from the jolly epicurean guy with a big beer gut to the shy smol twink, or the American frat boy dickhead.

        It's a good guess because that's basically how it's used (and how I used it)

        In modern popular usage, an Epicurean is a connoisseur of the arts of life and the refinements of sensual pleasures; Epicureanism implies a love or knowledgeable enjoyment especially of good food and drink.

        Because Epicureanism posits that pleasure is the ultimate good (telos), it has been commonly misunderstood since ancient times as a doctrine that advocates the partaking in fleeting pleasures such as sexual excess and decadent food. This is not the case.

      I know I'm just :projection: my feelings. My ✨ gender feelings ✨ are kinda kicking up right now too so that doesn't help.

      Although I will say, twinks have always seemed very femme to me.
