The fucking gender-norm police. Typically older folks. I once had people snickering at me for holding a bag with the crook of my arm, instead of the manly way, with my hand. And you better not cross your legs the wrong way when you’re sitting!
Fuck that noise, I can’t stand that petty nonsense. If someone’s gonna be snarky to me over something dumb, I like to loud-cap and embarass them. Ya don’t even have to be mean, just direct and blunt
When I’m asked to hold someone’s purse, I don’t hold it in my hand away from me like it’s diseased. I put it on my shoulder like god intended. If someone wants to say something instead of minding their business… I’m going to have a little fun. “THEY’RE TRYING TO STEAL MY PURSE!!! THAT’S NOT YOUR PURSE SIR!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU‽”
In parts of the Middle East that would be the wrong way. Crossing your legs those way would have your foot pointing at the person next you, which is a bigger taboo than doing something girly.

Whats the wrong way of crossing your legs?
The normal, comfortable way. If you are a man you have to hike your foot up so that it is resting above the knee on your opposite leg.
Ladies can’t do that because you might see up their dress. Because ladies always wear dresses.
