Gender roles aren’t just something you adopt, it’s something others try to put you in. It’s great that you don’t care, but the people around you still care and will annoy you with how they think you should behave based on some gender role they think you should fit into.
That’s the power of embracing the social construction of gender. You can be whatever you are and feel comfortable with yourself. That has given me far more life satisfaction than meeting any masculinity litmus test ever. Also leaves more time and emotional capacity for things and people that matter.
I mean, i don’t have to ask how to be a man or “masculine” because I don’t care about gender roles
