Why does the male gender role have generally less flexibility? Feminine men seem more mocked than masculine women, you can name a baby girl 'Max' but it's weird for a baby boy to be "Sarah", women being bi is basically a fun norm while 'bi guys' are stereotyped as gay. Why?

I'd be interested to see thoughts on the 'performance of femininity' claim. Those who are anti-trans claim trans women acting in feminine ways are 'performing femininity', and there are trans people tiring of their womanhood being questioned for not being all lipstick & lace.
