Compliments and Suggestions

Hi there! I found your work very interesting and your attention to detail is very impressive. I would suggest adding something about modern-day queer masculinity, that way it would be easier for people to understand what you are saying if you relate it to something well-known. Also, I would suggest referencing some well-know celebrities that open up about their queer masculinity or use them as examples. Though your attention to detail is very good, maybe it would help readers if you explain your argument in a way that is easier to understand. I think you are really knowledgable about the topic, and make a good argument about queer masculinity!

Hi, thanks for your response! Could you expand more on the modern-day queer masculinity? I find that queer masculinity differs for queer men and for queer women, and they also serve different purposes - masculinity is used to determine queer men's attractiveness (which could be the "Queer as a superficial standard" section), while it is a signifier that a queer woman is queer. The idea is, masculinity is valued more in a heteronormative and heteropatriarchal society, but it's also valued more within queer communities, although the idea to be queer (both in linguistics and in the emphasis on individuality and being non-normative in the queer community) contradicts with that.
