He wrote that he is interested in female fashion and wants to enrol in a beauty course so that he can do makeup and manicure on himself.
But he laments having conservative parents.
He shared that he was scolded for getting a manicure, with his parents saying:
“There’s a difference between male and female fashion.”

“Red nails so ugly.”
“All of these things are only for girls, you’re a MAN!”
“Stop being a girl.”
He then wrote that all these things “show that toxic masculinity happens” and that he hopes he isn’t the only Singaporean boy who experiences them.
