Top Comments of this video!! :3
the lyric âhonestly sir all I want to do is get naked in front of you so you can look me up and down and give me your love for being so goodâ really resonates with me. Growing up mixed, I constantly felt ugly and unwanted, so when I got older and first started receiving attention from guys, I was made to feel like if I didnât take advantage, no one else would want me. Like I would only have very few opportunities of people that desire me. This gave me the toxic mentality of having a very difficult time saying no to men and constantly desiring male validation and attention, even if it was toxic. Mitski always hits the spot

God I love this song. Mitski rly said "My attempts to be strong may be emulating toxic masculinity and directing me to another form of oppression, and this way of gaining power ultimately still places me at the mercy of male approval, and at the same time I'm missing the true privilege of being male which is simply taking what you want because you know you are entitled to it... But at least I'm a musical genius :)))"

I know this is about toxic masculinity but i think its also about how toxic masculinity can make woman only feel wanted when men are toxicly masculine. She talks about how she only feels loved when men validate her body and the way she looks when shes naked, and calls true love and affection "unmanly".

[Verse 1]
Real men don't need other people, and
Real men suck it in
Real men don't flinch or bleed in public
Oh, I think I'm a real man
[Verse 2]
Little boys cry and look around for comfort
And always get what they want
Little boys see toys and say "I can take that!"
Oh, you are my little boy
[Hook]
Though honestly, sir
All I wanna do is get naked in front of you
So you can look me up and down and tell me
"Well done, girl, you're looking good"
[Verse 3]
Real men keep cool in the face of a fire
Go down with the ship
Real men don't eat 'cause
They're above that, damn it
Oh, I'm gonna be a real man
[Hook]
Though honestly, sir
All I wanna do is get naked in front of you
So you can look me up and down
And give me your love for being so good
[Verse 4]
But little boys hold me, color me
Praise me, make me feel lovely
For a little while
So little boy, say you want me
Cause, well, I can't take it
Go ahead
Do it, do it

while this is a criticism of toxic masculinity, everything she highlights as wrong about toxic masculinity is something she personally struggles with, i have always wanted to be strong and emotionless like a quote on quote real man, because as a woman i was made to believe the average person (a regular man) could achieve it. But no one can

This song hits different when you're a transmasc and constantly feel like you have to live up to the toxic sterotypes that cis men have created to be a "real man" Even the lyric "Though honestly sir, all I wanna do is get naked infront of you, so you can look me up and down and tell me 'Well done girl, you're looking good'" Where you compare yourself to cis men and feel like you have to get their approval only to be passive-aggressively misgendered. Sorry for the kinda rant.
