It’s literally being not like the other girls except instead of stigmatizing makeup and “femme” clothes they now stigmatize being female. Like a lot of trends for women it’s rooted in internalized misogyny-women feel they can’t be gross, dirty, fat, thin and flat chested, masculine, fucking SMART or STRONG and still be a woman, so they redefine their label.

But that’s based on my experience and a total lack of any male enbys I know personally know or know of. And...it’s always really insecure overweight women. As someone who’s been overweight I feel comfortable pointing that out. Being fat isn’t considered feminine sure that’s a problem in society and ideal female bodies blah blah blah BUT it’s leading to overweight women feeling so unfeminine and undesirable/unsexualized they opt out of womanhood altogether, and just give up on their health completely in the name of “self-acceptance”.
