I know I'm talking about it a lot, but the She-Ra thing really bothers me.
I remember being bullied in elementary school for watching She-Ra, and now those same societal attitudes that kept me from being allowed to enjoy it are now trying to claim it was always for boys

the same people who made me feel shitty for liking something too feminine are now complaining that the same thing is not feminine enough for their tastes, and it's really pouring salt in the wound
everybody wants to talk about toxic masculinity,
nobody wants to talk about how it's born; the constant threat of physical harm that will be visited on young boys who act too girly.
to live through that, & see dipshits try to claim what they hated you for liking... it sucks

To this day I am made fun of by my family because I owned a my little pony doll when I was 5 years old, and afraid to stay in the hospital alone overnight
Do you know why men are willing to get into fistfights over dumb shit like being called "a pussy?"
It's easy to say that it's a matter of ego, but I think it's more accurate to say it's a reflection of trauma. To be seen as effeminate means you are unsafe. It is a threat.
