a stalwart Man was subjected to my post with a cute girly aesthetic and he took the time to let me know how much it annoyed him that there are posts on Mastodon that are cute and girly. There is of course only one solution
@0xabad1dea I once attended a mensa meeting, where one of the other attendees was so glad to see another man turn up because now it would be possible to talk about serious topics, instead of girly things like soap operas and and "flowery topics" (never did get a meaningful definition of "flowery topics"). I don't particularly like soap operas, but my goodness did I spend the entire time there talking about them like I was a massive fan. I don't think he liked me after that.

Wow.

As far as "flowery" topics go, ikebana (Japanese flower arranging) isn't gender-coded, and is pretty cool.
