From the moment society assigns a gender to an infant, they're treated differently.

We won't get into the studies showing people react differently to the same baby dressed in stereotypical male versus female clothing. Or all the messaging children have received by age five—before they begin school full-time—about how genders are supposed to act, react and what's appropriate to like.


We'll just say that by the time we reach adulthood, we've been fed millions of messages in regards to our assigned gender.

Like flowers are for females only and any man who enjoys flowers will have his masculinity and sexuality questioned or outright mocked.

Which is total BS.

Recognizing the stereotypes and double standards, Tumblr user snazzy-lester shared their story on the platform.

They wrote:

"...there was this post talking about how boys love flowers too and no one ever gets them any or like cares..."
"SO we were doing awkward icebreakers in class and I decided to ask the guy next to me what his favorite flower was..."
"...he looked at me with a huge smile and said sunflowers and I think we should all just raise awareness that boys like flowers to."

From Tumblr it went to Twitter

Twitter user BobaFettish cosigned on that sentiment and shared snazzy-lester's post on Twitter, captioned:

"Now I'm curious!"
"Men only, what's your favorite flower?"

And men were more than ready and willing to share.

Men from across the Twitterverse shared their favorites.

Some included personal stories of why the flower meant so much to them or how it became their favorite.

Others shared photos from their own gardens and flower beds.

This may be one of our favorite threads too.

MAGA Rep. Gets Brutally Booed At Nebraska Town Hall After Making Absurd 'Working Class' Claim

Nebraska Republican Representative Mike Flood was widely derided after footage from a town hall in his state showed audience members loudly booed him when he attempted to defend the GOP amid criticism toward President Donald Trump's disastrous policies that that are adversely impacting working class voters.

Flood defended his support for the GOP’s sweeping tax and spending bill, calling out “a lot of misinformation” he said was being spread about the legislation. The measure passed Congress last month without a single Democratic vote and despite reservations from some Republicans, particularly over its implications for welfare and Medicaid.

Indian News Anchor Epically Drags Trump For Demanding He Win The Nobel Peace Prize

Indian journalist Palki Sharma has gone viral for a blistering takedown of President Donald Trump amid calls from his administration for him to win the Nobel Peace Prize—a laugh considering this is the guy who recently bombed Iran...among so many, many other things.

Last month, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said "it's well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize," claiming that he “has brokered, on average, one peace deal or ceasefire per month,” and pointing to mediations he led between India and Pakistan, Cambodia and Thailand, and Egypt and Ethiopia, among others.
