Why is it okay for women to be into manly stuff, but not for men to be into girly stuff?
For example : if a woman likes video games, cars , sports , weapons almost everyone will think she is hot. But if a man just wore pink, likes romance things then he is called a wimp.

But where does this stigma come from? Why is girly stuff considered pansy, soppy and emotional? I think it's women's fault, as women are not sexually attracted to nice guys or even more prevalent, women are not sexually attracted to men who show their emotions to them or wear their heart on their sleeve. Before feminists get enraged and say "gender is a social construct" or that I'm sexist, hear me out.
Norah Vincent, a lesbian woman who spent 18 months disguised as a man who dated women in disguise and wrote about it, said "My prejudice was that the ideal man is a woman in a man's body. And I learned, no, that's really not. There are a lot of women out there who really want a manly man,
and they want his stoicism," [source]
Research has shown that men find empathetic caring responses sexy, and
women, not so much.
