About Just as Legitimate as Any Other Leg Configuration
I am a man. I find crossing my legs at the knee to be among the most comfortable ways to sit. Unfortunately, sitting that way often makes me feel extremely self-conscious, not only because of the self-policing gender conformist demon that sits inside my brain and tells me I'm illegitimate, but because the masculine standard we're all pushed to conform to dictates that sitting that way is the mark of a weak, effeminate, or otherwise inadequate man.
So, because I believe tumblr blogs can solve all ills, this tumblr is intended to serve as a collection of pictures of men - famous or not - sitting with legs crossed at the knee.
I fully realize that, of all the gender limitations, this is neither the most prominent nor the most dramatically harmful. But it bothers me and I just like being externally validated.
