I can think of a few activities/habits of men that people associate with being gay- please add any to this list that you can think of. What started the interest was a discussion today during my law class, whereby I explained that I used to dress up in drag, and put on the war paint, etc. Although I used to do this, I am a straight man. There are people who automatically assume that if you cross-dress, that you are homosexual. I was thinking that there may be quite a few attributes that (straight) men may have that have nothing to do with being gay- though people gratuitously make snap judgments and make these associations anyway.
Okay, for example:
1. If you are a man, and you cry, that means you're gay.
(Of course, this is bullsh*t. I cry sometimes, and I am not gay.)
2. If you are effeminate , then you are gay.
(Again, fallacious reasoning.)
Or:
3. Dudes who wear Hawaiian shirts are gay.
And so forth.
What say you?
