“Stop crying. Men don’t cry”
“Liking country music makes you lose your gay card.”
“You don’t want people to think you are a fish wife do you?”
These are all things I have heard to my face. What they’ve shown me:
Rigid social norms make exploiting the common person simpler.
Rigid social norms simplify having the exploited enforce being exploited.
We exploit each other AND ourselves in service of these rigid social norms.
Liberation is on the other side
Let’s meet there.
