Because typically girls like bows and men don't?
You're giving yourself away. Note you didn't compare women to men. You compared GIRLS to men. You yourself deep down know that this is infantilizing. You're just not willing to admit it.
No. Young girls like bows. Grown women rarely wear bows, pig tails, and other such things. You're confusing girls with women.
You're trying WAY too hard. Im going to just believe you're trolling because it's so ridiculous.
I see grown WoMeN with bows in their hair or in their dresses all the fucking time. Sure it's less often than children, but it's not some weird anomaly. Get some therapy and stop projecting your issues onto men.
Someone needs to seize this guys hard drives.
My 40+yo coworker who is probably more manly than you (don't feel bad, me too lol she's a beast) loves cute shit and bows, has stuffed animals on her desk, wore pigtails (I think, dual braids anyway) the other week, and meanwhile is better with tools and shit than most guys I know. You tell her bows infantilize her you might find yourself in a fight lol. Maybe we should just let people like what they like and not try and go all Freud on everyone.
