Do you have a problem with the word "twink"?

ia because it's objectifying/comparing to the feminine in a negative way. It's not always negative, but I can see how it could be.

You're absolutely right. When used as an insult, it's plain misogyny.

on the opposite side, would saying a woman looks/acts like a dude be bashing masculinity? no, because really it's about taking a jab at the individual

[bag_of_ice]

That's an example of bashing someone for not being feminine enough as a woman, so there's still misogyny in there.

[pacehim]

so bashing a dude for being feminine is misogyny and bashing a woman for being masculine is also misogyny? doesn't seem accurate, but ok

[bellwetherr]

well both situations stem from society's inability to move away from heteronormative culture so yes, it's accurate

lol it really doesn't. I've heard feminists say homophobia is just a form of misogyny. you get the most reductive, unnuanced form of discourse that is just say everything is because of the patriarchy/misogyny with some feminists.
