 100% not anyone’s fault. 
 More pullups incoming! 
 That said men have a responsibility to figure out what’s happening and fix it. 
 Yup! I was baffled at how my bf presented himself. I was not used to seeing a man act like a man. It’s not common at all among my peers. 
 Same is true for women honestly, because we have a lack of high T men around we have a bunch of women sort of doing a bad impression of being a man. Very rare to see actual femininity. 
 !! So true !!

I am an hvac technician though so my job is a “mans” job, so I may not be the right person to share opinions on this. 
 i think of femininity/masculinity as vibes or energies. it's not necessarily about *what* you do, but the type of energy you do it with. 
 There's nothing wrong with pursuing a career that is associate with the gender opposite to your sex.  You do you, and pursue the career that calls to you, or that makes the most sense to you for other reasons.

If you're a masculine woman or an effeminate man, there's nothing wrong with that either.

The problem is when people try to use authority to force women to be more masculine and men to be more femina in an attempt to eliminate statistical population level differences. 
 Femininity tends to be private and not flaunted.
