    Breaking the “rules” of masculinity.

    Many years ago I worked for a medical company. A coworker (Boomer dude) and I were demonstrating a lift mechanism when I made the joke: last time I got in a harness, there was a safe word.

    The joke killed, but my coworker was mad for weeks because in the joke, I implied we were going to have sex.
