On Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 5:30 p.m., the University of Georgia’s Young Democrat Socialists of America Chapter hosted the Performative Male Competition at the Main Library, welcoming all to attend and participate. The Performative Male Competition is a social media trend where men demonstrate exaggerated “performative male” characteristics. Some of the characteristics associated with being a performative male include wearing tote bags and wired headphones, reading perceived philosophical or feminist literature, drinking iced matcha lattes and generally adopting aesthetics traditionally considered to be feminine aesthetics. ✍️Jessica Ryan 🎥Jessica Ryan, Ashtin Barker 🎬Sophie Davenport #performativemale #competition #athens
