Who the fuck is upvoting this nonsense?

Feminine man?

There's no way you have read the Iliad. Achilles was hidden as a teen in the temple,not as a grown man.

While agreeing that 'feminine man' isn't the best wording, I don't think it disapproves the point that I was trying to make and stems from this not being my first language more than lack of knowledge about the Illiad (although I don't claim to be an expert).

I jus tried to point out Achilles, while he is a fierce warrior, is not described as as one dimensional in his masculinity as the manosphere crowd likes their men.

Sure.

I don't like the manosphere either, but while a trans actor could make sense, Page is freaking 5 ft 2 and 105 pounds.

An actor's height isn't really an issue for film.

Ian McKellen is about 5' 10" and Elijah Wood is 5' 5", but clever camerawork magnifies the difference in LotR to make Frodo appear two and a half feet shorter than Gandalf.

Tom Cruise is 5' 7½" (officially) but never looks up at anyone on camera.
