performative man

A performative man is a man who seeks to distance himself from the rest of his gender by acting in ways that are traditionally feminine, e.g drinking matcha, reading, painting their nails and being a #feminist. Common behaviours of these types of men are saying (in reference to another man's behaviour) "that's so bad, i would never do that, " claiming to be emotionally intelligent or 'one of the girls' and being bisexual.
