Has anyone else noticed this?

Whenever I tell a guy that I like a stereotypically 'masculine' thing they quiz me on it.

For example this guy and I were having a Conversation on music. I told him that I love all genres blah blah blah. He then asked me for a list of some of my favourite rappers. I obliged.

So I told him that I like (nicki Minaj ofc lol) tierra whack, Rico nasty, $ucideboy$, chief keef, lil darkie etc ..

It was cool till I started naming the male rappers.

It was like a switch flipped in him.

When I tell you this man started to quiz me on the male rappers with vitriol My goodness.

He even asked me how many sales some of the male rappers albums got, Like I don't know lol.

The sad thing is that it's not just with musicians but anything 'masculine '

They literally compose a whole exam on the topic and if you can't answer, you only like the thing to appeal to the Male gaze or you're a poser.

As someone that absolutely loves music this pisses me off. It’s always the men that comment on my tshirts. One time I went to fedex and the guy working there asked me what my favorite album was. I thought he meant because of my tattoo (Led Zeppelin) so I started saying Zeppelin songs. I forgot I was wearing a Pink Floyd shirt. He made a face so then I realized he meant my shirt. At that point, I was like whatever. I’ve got nothing to prove.

This happens to me so much, it’s gotten so annoying. I’ve never heard anyone ask a guy what his favorite songs are from a particular band. “Who are the members of The Rolling Stones?” Like bitch, did I just sign up for trivia?

Ugh yes! My favorite Led Zeppelin shirt is ALWAYS pissing guys off for some reason. At work I had some coworker I have never spoken to before practically corner me in the break room to ask me 20 questions about Led Zeppelin and to test if I am REALLY a fan or did I just buy the shirt cause my boyfriend likes them, ugh. Then most recently I wore it when I took my husband to get his vasectomy, and as I am standing there watching the doctor cut into my husbands testicles the doctor turns to me and starts giving me the third degree about my shirt because apparently 1. At 35 years old I am too young to really know who Led Zeppelin are and 2. women apparently don’t like rock music. Then he went on a tirade about his ex wife loving the indigo girls and how that made her a crazy bitch. I was speechless for the first time in my life.
