    So I own floral print bed covers and I’m a male and I was wondering if floral prints are only for females? Or are they unisex

    I mean… you won’t catch me buying floral print, but there’s masculinity in frugality. I’m not saying masculine in contrast to feminine on this, because women can be feminine and cheap af. I’m saying frugality is masculine in contrast to being juvenile. Spending extra money just to fuel your ego is a boy thing to do.

    Flowers are feminine. They’re delicate and beautiful, and they are figuratively used to represent female sexuality and are literally the female sex organ of the plant. With all of that said, I wouldn’t fault you for wanting to swap a floral print out for something more gender neutral. At the same time, sleeping on floral sheets doesn’t make you one iota more feminine. It’s just sheets. It only bothers you if you let it.

    I tell you what. You’ve asked multiple times about this kind of thing. I think I’ve answered you about women’s running shoes, a design that *might* look like a boob, and now this, so it looks to me like you’re struggling a bit with recognizing and establishing your own masculinity. I say don’t fight yourself on this one, spend some money on some nice, comfortable, gender neutral sheets so you can focus on other things.

    And I don’t mind using these bed covers I just wanted to ask this question and I doubt if they were for women it wouldn’t harm my reboot right?

    It definitely doesn’t harm your reboot. Objects don’t harm your reboot. It’s the symbols you assign to them that might. If you self-feminize and see that as a problem, as unwanted behavior, and you seek out a floral print because they are feminine and it makes you feel more like a woman, or really, your sexualized concept of what a woman is from your inherently masculine perspective, that would be a problem. That’s essentially a rehash of the “Is this porn? Is this a P sub?” question, to which the answer is, if you think so it probably is. If it’s erotically stimulating, then yes. But if you don’t get a sexual kick out of using plant sheets, no, it’s not an issue. Save your money.

    Oh ok! So I guess I’m good from what you said that if I don’t get sexually aroused from bed covers! Thank you

    I wouldn't have them, but what matters is if you like them.

    It is absolutely fine mate. I think there are too many gender stereotypes.

    Why should male babies be dressed in blue and female babies dressed in pink?
    Why cannot a male adult wear a pink T-shirt for that matter? It is all a bit mad!

    There are numerous other gender stereotypes that are harmful and inaccurate. Such as "Men think, women feel". o_O
    I do not even agree with phrases like "Being in touch with his feminine side" or "Being in touch with her masculine side".
    Human beings are multi-faceted and have an array of qualities. To believe otherwise gives rise to nonsense like "Real men don't cry".

    Can you explain this? Anxiety and insecurity affect males and females alike, surely.
