    I spent most of my public education life as a straight young boy avoiding team sports in gym class like the fucking plague.

    Junior year of high school, I find out I could 1.5x gym credits for taking dance, figured I’d tolerate that in order to get my gym requirement out of the way faster.

    Dance class: I’m working harder, significantly more involved and engaged, having more fun, and I get to start the day out hanging out with mostly girls in leotards. There was literally no down side.

    Straight guys who avoid dancing are fucking idiots.

      I’ve never liked dancing. I’ve just had more fun with masculine stuff like table tennis, badminton, programming, baking, skirts, dresses, makeup, and estrogen.

      There’s such a shortage of boys in ballet that they can go to classes at either a heavily reduced rate or completely free. And if you didn’t know, ballet is fucking expensive.

          He was also rock star when he was doing that and it was during the 80’s when being a goofy dancer was just the norm TBH.

          The cultural cynicism of the 90’s has stained being “cringe” to this day. And the internet and cameras in everyone’s pocket maximize the sense of neurotic insecurity.

          This is less an issue of genders and more an issue of just being seen as too earnestly enthusiastic or revealing your physical inferiority publicly.

          I don’t like sports much either though. Except [redacted so my friends can’t potentially ID me on Lemmy]. Not a lot of fem’s play that though.
