#this was emmasculating for him and he let me know
Text
story time 👹
#I forget???? the boxes that cishets put everyone into#and when I’m reminded of them it tastes so bad#storytime I was in the field all week for work#fieldwork is the one time I’ll carry a knife on me#more a tool than a weapon etc#working with a guy coworker. run of the mill cishet kind of guy. just a dude but also I may be the only gay person he knows etc#he’s struggling with someone that a knife could help with#*something#I say do you need a knife and dig mine out to hand it to him#he takes it SO hesitantly and literally says ‘I feel so emasculated right now’#I’m flabbergasted bc I don’t what part was emmasculating#was it the knife? (penetrative object?) would we have felt manly if I handed him a hammer? or a wrench?#was it that I’m a woman? I’m literally a coworker handing you a tool#but due to the complicated (and WEIRD) rules cishets set up for men-women interactions#this was emmasculating for him and he let me know#I just looked at him and said ‘Well don’t take it that way’#I’m a person handing you a tool that you need.#if roles were reversed I would have been like wow thanks! and he def wasn’t like that#idk it was such a small moment but I’ve thought about it twice a day since#it’s ok to be in need and for someone to fulfill that need even if that someone is a woman and that need is just for a knife#whoops spelling errors
