Literally just watched a video talking about the “weird kid Olympics” on TikTok and they made the point that we collectively pick up on a term online, and beat it to the ground until it has zero meaning. “Performative” was one of those terms

As disrespectful as it is, pls take it as a confidence booster, especially if you really were just trying to exist in that moment.

The performative male thing feels so sinister it’s almost like making fun of men who have interests and care abt women

At this point just be sincere, who cares. They can call you “performative” but all they’re doing is participating in a massive trend so who’s really performative

Performative males are basically men who pretend to be into things they don’t care about to get women to like them, and turn into assholes when it doesn’t work. Think the “oh sorry, I was busy reading feminist literature” type of person.

No that’s exactly what it is. That’s so frustrating, I’m sorry that happened

A performative male is a man who adopts a sensitive, feminist, and trendy aesthetic solely to attract women, usually to appear harmless/progressive but isn’t a genuine reflection of their real personality
