Why Do Men Use Masculinity As An Insult?
why is it seemingly so common for men to default to calling a woman a man or masculine in some way wherever they feel triggered by something she said or did?
Is it because imagining an antagonist being male makes it easier to digest or dismiss?
or is it because the idea of men existing is inherently an insult even to a man? uwu

I assume you're referring to everyone thinking you're a dude. People just assume you're a dude because there is an overwhelming majority of men here. No one thinks a woman would be here in this pit of incels willingly even though, statistically there are a few.
When did I do this?

This sounds like a very loaded question based on a very niche crowd of people.

I don't think using "men" as an example is fair, but we both know you're bored and trolling a certain type of person brings you joy, so:

I think you are being unfair when putting men as the only people who default to calling a girl masculine to insult them, because many other women also do this, for example if a woman says to another, "You are hairy like a man" or "You swear like a truck-driver" she's not necessarily criticizing men for having body hair or generally being more rude. Instead, she's implying that body hair and foul language goes against her idea of femininity, and in their view, that makes someone less presentable or attractive by traditional standards, becoming an insult of their own image and self-perception.
Think of it as someone calling you gross or undesirable.

Because the internet is and always has been full of guys who troll while pretending to be girls.
Kinda like how society is full of guys committing crimes while pretending to be girls lately
I've never understood insulting someone by calling them as the other gender. I have a small adams apple and longer hair, and I occasionally get called a woman. My best theory is because they are opposed to someone who they think should be viewed as one gender, while they are presenting more as another, if so why?
apparently it's bad to not conform to gender norms

BRO, WHY'D YOU SPILL THE MAYONNAISE?? BRO!!!

to unpack, it's traditionally unacceptable to get angry at women in an observable way, so if it does happen ones experiential fallback is yelling at your bro over the mayonnaise. your brain wants to shift the woman in question into this category, and there isn't any mayonnaise around...but gender is a fungible concept and your brain knows this for a fact. so it nudges them into the male category to ease your creativity in yelling.

this kind of conspicuous category reassignment is common in most cultures, and again a nearly ubiquitous brain behavior, leading both genders to have an already-hybridized idea of their gender simply following societal norms of gender and behavior as influenced by a categorization organ that doesn't necessarily care that much.

insults are just ways to hurt people and they really nave no sexual preference
as insults come from everyone.....parents marketing religion politics... men really
have nothing to do with it.... its who is teaching us to learn to insult that is the problem...
