View submission: Do non-binary identities reenforce gender stereotypes?
What it is to be a man has been dictated by society in a great many ways depending on the trends of the society they are in - men’s and masculine clothing, activities, and values have not been static over time. Previously these gender roles have meant rigid and narrow expectations of behaviour, appearance etc, side effects of which can include harm, low self esteem, emotional repression. It is a natural societal consequence following eras of strict enforcement of these roles that individuals would explore and seek to broaden/question those parameters. It has never been an objective issue.

How did society decide who should be on the receiving end of those expectations?
