I think a very revealing moment on Queer Eye was when Tan said to the man they were making over: “I look good for my husband, what are you doing to keep her?” And it like. Absolutely astounded, dumbfounded this man that he should possibly be doing anything for his wife other than merely Exist as her husband

Queer Eye is redefining masculinity one Georgian slacker at a time and I am HERE for it

And you know something worth noting is its not from the perspective of changing the mind of a guy whos too full of himself to see whats wrong. These are men who are already feeling unhappiness in their lives and they don’t know or have the resources to fix it because we don’t teach those things to men, we only teach and expect women to work and maintain emotional wellbeing. The Fab Five come in and point these things out and the guys aren’t resistent to them, like “what you talking about im the man blah blah” its either an epiphany that yes they do have control over their happiness and they can maintain the spark of their relationships or at the very least its an openness to learning that.

The only sad thing about Queer Eye is that while the men nominated in the show are open to the advice and changes, the audience that should be watching this show are not. It makes me really sad that the men I know in my life who could immensely benefit from these lessons are two uncomfortable with gay men or just the idea of a man wearing cover up to reduce the redness of his lupus flare ups to just sit and watch one episode.
