Tote bags, watered-down matchas and faux feminism descended upon the Urban Park Roof Garden in Cambridge on Saturday, as a dozen contestants battled it out for the title of “most performative male.”

The reason we title this “performative” is that this behavior is a way of reenacting what is seen in movies. But let’s face it — we all wish to be that eclectic character in an indie movie who seems just esoteric enough to keep everyone intrigued. But if everybody and their mom is doing this, then we end up accomplishing the complete opposite. In looking for things to set us apart, we ultimately become like everyone else.
