Hello, mamas. The age old saying goes, to be a woman is to perform. I laugh at it. I scoff at it even. I say to you, to that quote, to that saying, have you ever walked a day in the life of a man who gets macha every day and listens to Bibadubi and wears wired headphones and has a little cardigan that's a little bit too small for said man's torso?

Have you ever been a performative male? This discussion, this discussion has been

discussed. I have been talking about performative males for like a month now. It's so tired. It's so

old. It was a flashpoint where people realized, hey, why are so many dudes the exact same clone of each other?

Why are the exact same archetype?

And why does said archetype feel like it's all put on?

Why does it feel performative?

Like they are performing.

And then people started to say, who were they performing for?

Is it for female attention? Well, we don't really know because it kind of seems like the performative male, it seems like dudes performing for each other. It's almost the new the new status symbol to hold a $12 matcha and be able to be like, I listen. I'm so down to earth.

I'm so, um, it's the new. It's, it has the exact same vibes as when dudes were putting on skirts

in like 2019 and then like never wearing them again after they like put it on their story like i i have this

like vision and i don't think i don't think i ever did this hallelujah um but like wearing like a mask

and like a plaid skirt and a crop top that was the lowest hey we were supposed to be we're supposed

to be in the military and we were supposed to be we're supposed to be in the military and we're

supposed to be um chopping down trees and we're supposed to be provide and so and now i sound like

see if you cook took the last 30 seconds of what i just said and replayed it in 2019 i would

actually sound like a Fox News anchor.

But anyways, here's the thing.

Here's the thing. Here's a thing.

As someone who probably would be would fall into the category or would check a few boxes on the performative mail list.

Performative males needed a moment of reflection they needed a moment to look
