Secondly, in no way did I say or imply that flamboyancy was exclusive to one gender. When I state that the concept of flamboyancy and its negative connotations are sexist, it is because the concept calls certain actions by members of one sex normal while calling the same act in other sexes "famboyant." That is sexism.When did I say that? ANYONE (do you know what anyone means?) that acts flamboyant would bother me. I am not implying that women can't be flamboyant which you are assuming so it seems you have some sexist assumption about who can and can't be flamboyant.FJ, it's not sexist because I am the one explicitly rejecting the concept of flamboyancy. Believe it or not, I can talk about a concept that you are using without ascribing to it.
Secondly, I never implied that under your construct of flamboyancy women could not be "flamboyant." If you read closely, you will find that neither "man" nor "woman" appears in the post you quoted. Who's the one needlessly introducing sex specifics into his own constructs now? (Hint: it's you).
Thirdly, are you really going to say that you find this and this equally flamboyant? 'Cause I don't believe that for a second.
The whole point of your concept of flamboyancy, whether you want to admit it or not, is that good, God-fearing straight men should dress and act in a certain way, and that good, pure women should dress and act in other ways, and that breaking from these norms in certain ways can be considered flamboyant. In other words, I find it to be almost certain that in your concept of flamboyancy, certain actions done by a men, like wearing a dress, would be considered more flamboyant than if done by a woman. That is sexist.
Also, to be 100% clear (since this blatantly obvious fact has apparently eluded your otherwise impeccable powers of perception and reasoning), I am referring to how I understand your concept of flamboyancy to work. I in no way endorse or accept it.
