Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Lot of irrelevant content here.
Not relevant. What matters is that the men surveyed felt like they would be thought of that way.
That also isn't a rebuttal to my argument. What matters is that these men feel like they'll be thought of as gay and they feel like that's a bad thing. These feelings don't form in a vacuum. They're taught and reinforced to people in society over generations.
Let's suppose that the poll said, "8/10 of men are afraid of wearing slim jeans out of fear of being called gay." Would it not be the obvious conclusion that they're victims of the patriarchy^1. Neither of the two actions are exclusive to being gay in any way, but society teaches individuals to associate the two.
