get ye to a women's rugby match and ye will a variety of femininities performed up and down the pitch, rest assured ;) this might give you a better understanding of the range of gender-bending acts that people, no matter their orientation on the spectrum of sexual preferences, are capable of. at least it's a contrast to the "pansy" men you noticed on the train.
what i'm getting at is, once you sit down and really try cataloguing all the ways in which gay men seem too "feminine" or lesbians seem too "masculine" (i.e. is it the color of his shirt? the tone of his voice? the length of her hair? the way she runs towards the bus?), you may come to realize the ways in which gender is a construct--a social construct to be more precise. these "pansy" men are super gay because they are acting super feminine; but what is "feminine" to begin with? who said women have to dress/act/talk one way or another? who said women (straight or gay) can get manicures and men can't? or if gay men can get manicures, in what ways should they tone it down so that their nails aren't "too" feminine (i.e. use more "masculine" colors or file them along a more "masculine" curve? what does it mean to have "masculine" fingernails?) when you start breaking people's gender identities down by the way they move, talk, and decorate their bodies, what principles are guiding your classification of "feminine" versus "masculine" people? where does one end and the other begin?
further still, you may find yourself questioning why you feel annoyed at gay men you perceive as being "too" gay. perhaps they irritate you because they seem to be trespassing onto traditionally feminine territory (i.e. getting manicures, wearing matching outfits)? perhaps it isn't their gender identities that annoys you--perhaps any noisy person on the train is just friggin' annoying...? in this last case, why attack their gender identities? why not limit your criticism to the volume of their voices?
lol guess i'm full of questions tonight :happy2: |

bro its nyc, we are the biggest melting pot and one of the most opened minded cities in US.
... you'll get used to it |
It sounds to me like Mr. Small Town hasn't fully acclimatized to the Big City.
It's funny, though - the last time I was in NYC I made it a point to talk to all the people who shared my personal space. In elevators, subways, etc., people were seriously put off guard by a stranger talking to them as if they were an actual person (after establishing eye contact - which was a feat in itself.) Everyone acts like you're just another stranger until you do this, and then when you do, they don't seem to know what to expect. This isn't really leading anywhere, I just thought it was funny. |

Funny story...maybe I should try that sometime. I have adapted just fine to NYC...Ive have been visiting this city multiple times a year since I was six. Im just living here now. Just because something gets on your nerves doesn't mean you haven't adapted to the situation. I accept it...it just gets on my nerves. Understand? |
