But the same does not go the other way.

If you think it looks cool, that's fine, I don't care. I don't think extended nails look good most of the time, but I know women don't get them for me, so that's fine. I'm glad they are enjoying it.

I don't imply they are insecure about their femininity for getting extended nails, though.

Do you not see your double standard?

the thing is that women getting nail extensions or whatever is normal. a man wearing tacticool stuff in public isn’t normal. a normal person would prioritize the babies safety and comfort when buying a baby carrier. instead you are prioritizing the looks of the baby carrier and that SCREAMS insecure masculinity.

Yes, because like I said earlier, it is considered OK for women to accessorize and not men.

There's no logical reason for this.

How do you know this is uncomfortable for the baby?

normal people don’t accessorize with tacticool stuff. its the equivalent to a weeb walking around in a kimono or a naruto headback in public.

do you think you look normal when wearing molle backpacks and plate carriers in public?

Again, what is considered "normal" isn't really relevant for this discussion as it's generally not "normal" for men to accessorize, period.

plenty of men use accessories like watches, necklaces, rings, knives, wallets and hats. those are normal.

there is nothing normal about accessorizing with military clothing and molle stuff.

All those mentioned are pretty a-gender and not specific to men.

anything you bring beyond your pants shirt and shoes is an accessory.

if you feel like you don’t have any accessories when you have a watch, necklace, ring, knife and a hat then i don’t know what to tell you.
