    they are allowed to express their femininity and I’m not.

    A man expressing masculinity? “That’s violently toxic!”

    A man expressing femininity? “That’s disgustingly pathetic!”

    Now that I’ve matured I hate the system that keeps me oppressed

    Except… who reinforces those oppressive rules?

    It ain’t men, that’s for sure. We just passively submit and nod our heads yes to whatever women say, least we are painted with the same brush by association, and be labelled misogynistic or “not a man” for disagreeing.
