I hope I didn't just say something stupid.
I feel like, for some reason, femininity is a much stronger force online compared to masculinity. I think it's good in general - when it comes to unshackling ourselves from gender norms, men have a long way to go. Again, it goes back to the fact that women started having that conversation decades ago while men are only just starting.
