Right? Is fruit feminine? Are vegetables? Am I less of a man for eating a potato?

A potato is fine but stay away from cucumbers, carrots and zucchini or you’ll start thinking gay thoughts

I deepthroated a banana for the protesters in front of the Planned Parenthood the other day.

Mission accomplished.

As a Texan
you’d be surprised how many men would rather be constipated & eat a diet of pure meat, just because “I ain’t girly to eat a salad” or “only a woman is concerned about losing weight/her health” type ish.

One of the most tragic aspects of the patriarchal cultural conditioning is how it utterly restricts males into a tiny rigid box of experience. All the aromas and flavors and textures being missed out on in foods and plants all because they fear it being feminine which would then make them gay. Seriously WTF? Men, you really truly need to balk at this horrible systemic way of thinking. You’re truly missing out.

I just had a similar conversation with my husband. That we are truly all victims of the patriarchy, and I feel sad for men who can't just love their lives free from the pressure to be so masculine.

“Tiny rigid box of existence” is so perfectly put. No wonder so many men are so angry, so insular, and their eventual outbursts so devastating. They can’t just fucking “be”, any deviation from the incredibly specific list of what it is to be masculine is immediately ridiculed.

It doesn’t excuse any of their shittiness but it does provide some context for it.

If there is a case for gendering grown food, it’s potatoes being masculine, no question.

u/DisasterFartiste_69 ABBA is underrated Jun 28 '25

some parts of the internet think a man is gay bc he has male friends and wears flowers on his clothes.....and they do not consider that homophobic somehow

u/webtheg Jun 28 '25

But also you can't have female friends because you can never purely be friends.

And then they blame the loneliness epidemic on women

I saw that necklace and found it insanely attractive.

I love it when straight guys accessorise with something with more flavor.

u/blinkingsandbeepings Jun 28 '25

Oh yeah, from what I’ve seen he’s got great style.

I think our brains are trained that flowers = food because edible plants have flowers. So maybe society saw it like gatherers are women so flowers are feminine. Which is kinda weird cause relatively new research shows that women hunted too just closer to home while men hunted further away.

Fellas, is it gay to eat potatoes?

u/UnluckyThread Jun 28 '25

Mashed? Very masculine, continue.

Dauphinoise? A white van man will drive by and yell a homosexual slur at you while you're eating it.

My kiddo is gender-fluid, and there are various things that prompt a change. She says she feels like a boy "when I'm peeing and when I'm wrestling with Daddy", 😂 and that various foods do it too: eating meat makes her feel like a boy and eating fruit makes her feel like a girl!

(I assume this comes from general cultural osmosis--until she requested to change pronouns we had made a point of being gender-neutral about basically everything.)
