    Trans woman who pays a bit more attention to mannerisms than most people, both in men and women.

    1. Yes, it’s a real thing
    2. It’s at least 90% men, and I’m being generous
    3. It’s not most men that do it (especially in the sillier ways)
    4. Size matters not

    Picture a teenager in black sweatpants and a hoodie, on his own in a bus. That’s the most common I think. It’s generally men who try to project an image of strong masculinity or coolness. They don’t really do it with other people because it’s silly. It might be an unconscious thing, idk. It still looks stupid. It’s mostly men because it’s a masculinity thing.

    It’s great if you don’t do it, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if you didn’t. But there very much is a type of guy who does it. And there is no common type of woman for that specific behavior.

      Doesn’t match my experience but I appreciate you sharing your perspective.

      Sadly, my experience is that post-covid everyone is always rude and selfish and oblivious to others. People seem to love standing three-across on sidewalks or in doorways for a LONG time.

      I just came from Costco where EVERYONE leaves their carts perpendicular across aisles regardless of their genital configuration or gender presentation.

      I’m beginning to enjoy ramming them out of the way.
