If "your man card can be revoked" then you understand that gender is performative and conditional.

I understand that gender is made up and doesn't matter. There is nothing girly or manly.

For some the optionality of it is less important than the notion that if it's performative, you can be bad at it and therefore make yourself an acceptable target for abuse, and besides that the idea that some roles can be restricted to only those with a certain set of physical characteristics is deeply ingrained in many, be that in terms gender, career, or what have you.
