Thought of another trait that is as toxic as it is annoying: apparently a man must outwardly show how attracted he is to "hot" women around him or he must be gay, and apparently that in itself is also implied to be a disappointment.

God, that's so weird. A boomer aged progressive will some times point out hot women to me. Not even in his age group. It really is just hard coded in that whole generation.

But then when he does it in front of his girlfriend, he's being unfaithful. But if he doesn't express interest in other women then his opinion on his partner's hotness doesn't matter because he must not be into women or he's not macho enough since macho people are supposed to ogle women.

God I'm glad I'm not closeted anymore...(I'm polyamorous, agender, and pansexual).
