QUEERING MASCULINITY

Its really funny when Western gays seek to study the third sex under the stream of 'masculinity'. For the feminine gays, anything to do with males, even feminine males, is 'masculinity' and should be studied as such. Thus they talk about masculinity not being a singular concept but of 'masculinities'. And, the most funny part is that they study male femininity as 'masculinity'. They work on the rights of the third sex, as a right of 'masculinity'. They thus unnecessarily stigmatise the very concept of 'masculinity' and people start relating it with 'gay'. They thus queer masculinity itself.
