Unmasking Gender Norms

Alexa can fix her car and parallel park like a pro. I avoid both like the plague. She's femme; I'm masc. But when it comes to gender norms, it's not that simple.

In this episode of Masc Off, we unpack the assumptions projected onto us in queer dating. Who’s supposed to initiate? Who pays the bill? Who’s the emotional one? We dive into the messy, hilarious, and frustrating ways masc/femme dynamics still mirror heteronormativity—and how we're trying to unlearn it.

Spoiler: Femme doesn’t mean passive. Masc doesn’t mean dominant. And I will never build your IKEA shelf ;)
