Hmm. Do you have any people in your life who would wear a T-shirt saying "Geek!" or who would say things like "This is so geeky, I love it!!" about something? Possibly prone to filling their home with Star Wars and Harry Potter memorabilia?

I feel like it might be a bit like the atheist/Atheist split. There are people who are atheists and they're just, you know, people, atheism is fairly normal, and there are people who are Atheists and want to make very sure you know that they think god is bad. geek/Geek

curious/Curious likes traveling/Likes Traveling by god, it works with everything

I feel like X can be an identity without being cringe. e.g. genders are an identity thing but most people can perform their gender without it being cringe.

But "he is a man/he is A Man", "she is a woman/she is A Woman" is still a pretty good indicator of cringe. (The man one feels more cringe, but I'm not sure)

i can't actually think of an example of Woman being performed in a cringy way i can think of heaps of examples for Men; the David Aurini types etc i mean i'm sure there are some

I can't either, but I sortof have complex feels about why that might be. I feel like it's something closer to having learned that it's Bad to find those examples cringey and/or we've learned to dissociate them from the role of Woman.
