I'm straight and people think I must be gay because I think purple is an awesome colour. Wtf does the amazingness of purple have to do with my sexual preferences?

Unfortunately this tipe of behaviour are too common. It's too common to offend boys/man and degrade their self-esteem for reasonable behaviour/hobby. Moreover, saying "gay" or "girl" to someone ISN'T an insult, using it that way (expecially from "mature" people) hide some worrying prejudices. We still got a lot of work to do as a society to fix this ( I'm not talking about "political correctness, this is simply a matter of respect and wisdom).

"Hey, if you like books you're gaaaaaayyyy!"

I was around 7 years old and teacher made fun of me in front of the whole class asking me if we are so poor, I have to wear my brothers clothes. I had a shirt with Michael Jordan on it and I picked it myself. At least my parents didn't give a fck.

Steve Hughes is an Aussie comedian who took Home Ec instead of rugby. When he was ribbed about it, he pointed out, "What sounds gayer: showering with 20 guys or eating cake with 18 girls?"

can we also talk about how being described as a girl is an insult?....like what?!

Yellow is literally a gender neutral color. If you want to keep a baby’s gender anonymous most of the clothes are either yellow or green

Then when you do become that emotionless robot it's, why are you so cold and unfeeling?

Yellow? So no high viz clothing for boys? Then there are some male cops, male firefighters, male utility workers, and other guys in jobs where they need to be visible to motorists and other hazards, who need to be told that only their female coworkers can wear the yellow vests and/or jackets. Because visible and alive is gay, invisible and roadkill is macho.

Yes! Resist!

i like yellow. it's the color of bananas

Toxic masculinity hurts everybody

I've liked books before I could read. I'm a guy. Got my son hooked on them -oops, he's gay - OMG - what did I do?? :^)

boy needs to man up

I first read that as “I got called gay for liking boys” and I thought.. “yes Matt, that’s how it works”

One of the things that has always made my blood boil is when a little boy takes a tumble and people automatically stay telling him he is okay and to walk it off before they even know if he is hurt or not. At least make sure he hasn't broken anything before you push him to man up, idiots. Girls on the other hand get babied even if they barely stumble. My Mom used to make me so mad when I would fall. She would make me sit down so she could make sure I wasn't hurt while telling my cousins to walk it off sometimes when they were really hurting.

What is a big girl's blouse? Don't fire-fighters of both sex wear yellow jackets? What about the Gorton's Fisherman?

YES! RESIST!BOYS HAVE EMOTIONS! BOYS HAVE PREFERANCES! (AND OF COURSE GIRLS TOO!!)

THIS. My son was shouted at by the teacher for crying at school. He was four. She did it so often that I took him out of that school. At the next school the same thing. Female teachers were so hard on him, just turned five. The very same people who claim to want boys to be more gentle would be sweet to girls and terrorize boys. This went on, getting worse as he got older. Boys don't just decide to be angry, defiant and defensive - they are pushed to it. If society wants gentle men, we are going to have to start being nicer to boys.

Unfeeling Moron term is bullying I would say!!!
