    and by deflecting from the traditional view of either‚ one is inherently not the other (McGarry 2017). For example‚ the men perform male heterosexuality when they deliberately begin to mock homosexual classmates by calling them “fruits”‚ “homos”‚ “queer” and “butt pirates” (Tannen 2017: 93) as derogatory terms.
