Fragment of a discussion from Talk: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.
