WHAT DOES BEING A BOTTOM HAVE TO DO WITH BEING A MAN?

from Wednesday With Woody Hosted by Woody Woods

I saw a HYROX athlete casually call himself a power bottom in a sponsored Instagram post and, naturally, I had questions. Not about the porridge. About why those two things together caught my attention at all. This week on Wednesday with Woody, I’m wondering what being a bottom has to do with being a man. Somewhere along the way, we decided bottom meant submissive, submissive meant feminine, and feminine meant… less masculine. But none of those things actually mean the same thing. So why do we keep treating them like they do? Maybe this isn’t really about who does what in bed. Maybe it’s about why masculinity needs so much proof. And why femininity is still treated as evidence against it. Wednesday with Woody is my midweek conversation about modern life, identity and the wonderfully complicated business of being human. Follow @iamwoodywoods on Instagram for more. And if this episode leaves you with a thought you can’t shake, leave it in the comments. Some of the best episodes start there.
