Why is the open-handed "flex" still a thing?

I. Understand. Personal autonomy.

Is it still considered an "I'm more feminine than women who make fists" statement? Asking for a friend....

Precisely tre. the open hand is to remain " girly" I believe.

I see huge fbbs doing this, while my natty friends always flex their feminine arms making fists.

Maybe it's a force of habit. Most of the newer ladies were Physique competitors at some point.
