You know what the funny things is? I work in job that's typically seen as very masculine. And while not that hard myself, my job requires me to be around what most "hypermasculinity people" view of the peak of it sometimes and do things there, it's so much fun blasting katty perry and listening to the most girly music.

Thing is, people that are actually cool don't give a single shit about wearing pink or listening to "girly music".

Seriously anybody actually worried about that is actually deeply insecure about their own masculinity.

It’s funny, I had a coworker in my office that somehow always would show up in similar colored polo shirts to what ever I had on and finally decided fuck it and got one in light pink and another in light purple because I knew his masculinity was too fragile to wear colors like those. Since buying those I’ve also spent a Lot of time in the gym lifting trying to lose fat, but still wear them. I made the comment to my Dd that I was surprised somebody hasn’t tried to start shit with me when I have them on. His response, “You probably are big enough to keep them too intimidated to try.”

I work a “feminine” job in that it’s mental health nursing, BUT I do it at the VA so majority of my peeps are male.

The girliest of girlypop music is on heavy rotation around here.
