It's More Acceptable For a Woman to Be Masculine Than It is For a Man to Be Feminine. »

iamabutchsolo:

Because society values masculinity more, no matter who is practicing it.

Even though women are admonished for acting outside of gender roles, they often have more freedom to be masculine than men do to be feminine. People are more likely to see a woman adopting masculine traits as being strong, tenacious, and dominant because we prize masculinity or femininity.

People have a bigger problem with men being more “feminine” because we view femininity as too emotional, weak, and submissive. And who are meant to be too emotional, weak, and submissive? Women, not men.
