To think you can’t take a man with painted nails seriously?

[ThisSunnyBiscuit]

I know people say “it’s just nail polish” but I can’t help feeling like a man with painted nails instantly loses credibility. Whether it’s in a corporate setting or just in everyday life, it gives off a certain vibe that makes it hard to take him seriously.

It’s not about being closed-minded, it’s just that some things don’t translate well across genders. Am I being unreasonable or do others feel the same?

But it’s not. It really is not.

To me it was a very high profile story, and anyone who is is familiar and following the excesses of hyperliberalism will know exactly what I'm referring to

Mmm maybe you THINK it was an obvious reference when actually it clearly made many people here think you meant something else

"Maintains a narrow mid century German moustache, for good luck, to express his personal style and “because he likes the way he looks”."

"Wears pink satin fitted ladies blouse, for good luck, to express his personal style and “because he likes the way he looks”."

That someone likes the way something looks and that it is an expression of their personal style - isn't really an explanation of why that is. It's a given.

What did they think I meant?

Metaphorically linking nail polish to hitler is a truly incredible take

Well clearly they thought you meant being trans

Do you even read the replies before spouting more drivel?

Only the replies that I'm quoted in. Why are you being so rude?

No. If you read my comment, I'm not comparing them, I'm using it as an example to highlight the vacuity of the justifications. I wasn't saying there was any similarity between women's blouses/mid century German facial hair/nail varnish/large prosthetic breasts. If you thought I was, I'm curious what similarities you imagined I might have meant!

Because you are spouting utter drivel, aren't reading any of the replies and just keep making bizarre links which aren't correct

But you asked for examples which weren't to do with "expressing sexual preference" (which I assume you mean, "expressing gender non conformity")

Which you were given...

Examples are things that are somehow linked to an idea or can be metaphorically understood to have similarities.

As I understand it you’re saying justifying wearing a hitler tache by saying you like it has a comparable vacuity to justifying wearing nail polish by saying you like it.

This is wildly funny because Hitler committed a genocide and has an extremely recognisable tache. It would be impossible to believe anyone wearing a Hitler tache isn’t aware that they’re dressing as Hitler and it’s about as offensive as you can get, so yes saying it’s because they ‘like it’ would be insane, whereas nail polish is nail polish and has committed no crimes against humanity that I’m aware of

Fair enough 😂

He’s given you his explanation: “he likes the way it looks”.

You are trying to assign a different meaning to fit in with your own prejudices.

They always shift the goalposts when shown evidence that conflicts with their world view.

I find nail polish and eyeliner on men quite hot.

Exactly

Ask for evidence, look at evidence, claim the evidence doesn't prove a different point

What meaning am I assigning?

Evidence?

Ffs. There was a legal loophole in Scotland that made upskirting permissive if it was not done for the purposes of sexual gratification. If the accused said it wasn't for their own gratification but for group bonding or some such, this is "evidence" that would get them off.

Evidence schmevidence.

See. Now you're just rambling about other crap which is fuck all to do with the point...

Holy Strawman Batman.
