      Absolutely. For example, it struck me that I saw so many comments on social media about how Alex Pretti was gay for working as a nurse.

          " you know, you shouldn’t exactly center your unrelated major life decisions around dating, but have have considered that you would meet a lot of women if you joined a woman-dominated academic or career track? Maybe that would make your dating life easier in some ways, right? "

          “… nah, that sounds gay asf”

            One of Shakespeare’s King Henry plays taught me that talking to women in any way is gay. I know, reading Shakespeare is also gay. Pretty much everything is gay. Maybe men aren’t getting jobs because they’re staying at home to avoid the minefield of gay out there.
