As a gay man who has spent a lifetime self-policing his embodiment, I am aware of how feminine embodiment in a male can be the brunt of humor, pity, scorn, and discrimination. It saddens me to think that a young boyâs embodiment may lead to him being singled out in these ways. My feelings are those of compassion and empathy concerning the social consequences that a young boy will be subject to if he embodies in this manner. Given all that has been argued concerning social conditioning and the social construction of gender in previous chapters, it is doubtful that my finding such embodiment distasteful is a ânaturalâ response that is discrete from my socialization and enculturation.
