In 2019, the #BoysDanceToo movement reacted in anger to controversial, misogynistic remarks made on Good Morning America. These reactions highlighted the challenges faced by men and boys in dance. Yet, previous studies have documented significant advantages for men in dance. In an analysis of the discourse used in online posts related to the #BoysDanceToo movement, I find that these broader structural gender inequalities are generally not examined. Responses also do not interrogate the antifemininity that fuels the stigma against boys and men who dance. Analysis suggests that this is due to an overreliance on the language of sex roles—which can mask the oppression of women (as a group) by men (as a group)—and the neglect of a relational understanding of gender. As a result, women are largely erased from a conversation about gender oppression.

2019 年，#BoysDanceToo 运动对早安美国的争议性、厌恶女性的言论做出了愤怒的反应。这些反应凸显了男性和男孩在舞蹈中面临的挑战。然而，之前的研究记录了男性在舞蹈方面的显着优势。在对与#BoysDanceToo 运动相关的在线帖子中使用的话语进行分析时，我发现这些更广泛的结构性性别不平等通常没有被审查。回应也没有质疑反女性气质，这种反女性气质助长了对跳舞的男孩和男人的耻辱。分析表明，这是由于过度依赖性别角色的语言——这可能掩盖了男性（作为一个群体）对女性（作为一个群体）的压迫——以及忽视了对性别的关系理解。结果，女性在很大程度上被从关于性别压迫的谈话中抹去。
