The Effeminate Heterosexual
Is it possible for a heterosexual man to be effeminate or feminine? Or do we just see them as closeted gays?
It wrong for a man to show feminine gestures and body positions?
There is a typical view in our culture that such men should not exist. It is either that men be homo or hetero. The point is that men must have masculine qualities so when a man adopts feminine qualities but is still heterosexual it bothers us and our system of sex. Why must our system be so either or rather than accepting of the fluidity of gender.
