Uhhh... You've seriously never encountered fragile masculinity? Someone who won't drive a certain car or eat certain foods or wear certain things because they think it somehow reflects on their manhood? There are plenty of fragile men out there, it's not just projecting.

I have found this to be more common among my Hispanic friends. They will seemingly shy away from things that can be perceived as feminine or fancy. It’s definitely a thing that manifests in multiple ways.

God damnit Jim that fancy eggs benedict isn’t going to make people think you’re gay. Nor is a breakfast cocktail. Just order it. *Names not changed to protect the guilty

I’ve witnessed dudes like refuse to eat a banana because they think it looks like they’re sucking a dick. Wild stuff.

The absolute funniest thing about that comment coming from that [noun] is that they post in r/JordanPeterson. Which do you think he's done more of: tearful videos attacking others, or impassioned defenses of male fragility?

If there are actually fragile men, then it logically follows that pointing one out isn't necessarily projection.
