When Trumpers are called on their political incorrectness it's, "You're a Marxist!" or "I can say what I want, lib!"

And yet the minute a man puts on a dress, they launch their own little shrieky crusade against free speech. https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1328342542287589381
Tattoos, clothing, makeup, piercings...

It honestly blows my mind that in 2020 we're still judging people for these things.
I'm a gay man who presents fairly masculine. I would never wear a dress for any reason.

HOWEVER...

I couldn't give ZERO sh*ts if a man wears a dress.

ZERO.
Why? BECAUSE IT DOESN'T AFFECT ME.

I'm doing my own thing...

Worrying about myself...

Working on myself...
To be so concerned with LIBERTY, FREEDOM, 'MERICA!

I will never understand why conservatives get so worked up about things like gay marriages and men in dresses.

I mean...
If you're looking for evidence that America is a great nation, here's some:

Two men can get married...

And other men can wear dresses in public...

and no one gets thrown in jail or stoned.
In the course of human history, this is astoundingly rare and remarkable.
But this notion that a random celebrity wearing a dress is "feminizing masculinity" is one of the all-time dumbest arguments coming out of Trumpdom.
Think about how stupid this argument actually is...

Do they think that if more male celebrities wear dresses, the rest of us plebeian males in middle America are just gonna mindlessly throw away our blue jeans and run out and buy high heels which will then in turn...
result in military recruitment plummeting which will then provoke Russia to invade our shores and enslave our women and children and un-manly men???
It's the same "slippery slope" argument against gay marriage.

WELL IF YOU ALLOW THE MEN TO MARRY, WHAT'S NEXT DOGS MARRYING CATZ????
I mean look at this...

In the 17th century, the progenitors of western culture wouldn't be caught dead without their detachable powdered bouffant mane!
It was a fashion trend.

Does anyone honestly think these men were "subverting the gender binary?"

Does anyone think that daddy having the same hairstyle as grandma Martha caused little boys to question their own gender?
Golly geez call me old fashioned but...

Some of us still think that CHARACTER is what matters when it comes to judging people...

NOT THE FABRIC TIED AROUND THEIR WAIST.

@benshapiro
Have made this point several times on this website, and I'll make it again now...

LET MEN BE MEN.
Let the hunters tromp thru the woods.
Let the boys on Broadway dance.
Let the academic men nerd out.
Let the military men defend us.
Let the gamers have their fun.
Let the poetry boys be poets.
Let the truck drivers truck.
Let the sports bros cheer.
Let Harry wear a dress.
If you haven't noticed, this world needs all type of men.

NEEDS.

So stop judging so much.

Not everyone is like you or like the people you hang out with or like the people in your neighborhood.

LET MEN BE MEN.

(and, of course: Let women be women too.)
WHO IS THIS "MAN?"

SOMEONE ALERT @BENSHAPIRO and @REALCANDACEO AND HAVE HIM ARRESTED IMMEDIATELY FOR THE SUBVERSION OF GENDER NORMS! https://twitter.com/ChrisPoma/status/1328407720895057920
AND ONE MORE THING...

Intelligent adults learn to broaden the gap in their minds between "That's weird!" and "That's bad!".

I find lots of things in this world weird, but I'm mature enough to know that doesn't also mean they're bad, immoral, or malevolent.
