Kind of amazed but also not really surprised to realize how much online "leftism" from guys is just repackaged homophobia and misogyny, shifted from "Fellas is it gay" to "Fellas is it bourgeois" without changing the subjects of concern one iota.
Like:
Fellas is it bourgeois to shower and wear deodorant? You're literally aspiring to an upper-class standard of cleanliness. Don't leftists believe in retaining the sweat of their labors?

Apparently the thing that was really counterrevolutionary about the charcuterie board was the aesthetic arrangement of it. You know, the part that was free? The part that required no buy-in to any system?
Comrade fellas, it IS bourgeois to want your food to look nice.

It's the same dance men do about women's selfies. They can't imagine that someone would take the time to create a visual impression and then take a picture of it and share it with the internet, if it's not for their consumption.

If they can't imagine themselves having gained organic pleasure from creating and then again from sharing this bit of artfulness, then they see the pursuit as hollow, misguided, and pointless: "Fool, you wasted time trying to impress me. I am unimpressed."
If creating an aesthetic impression is something you believe only rich people and only people aspiring to decadence do, then:
It's bourgeois to tuck in your shirt.
It's bourgeois to comb your hair.
It's bourgeois to hang your clothes up.
Etc.
It's just "Fellas is it gay?"
