SOCIAL FEMININITY is the artificial, manmade, fake femininity, created by the society, in this case, Forces of Heterosexualisation (FoH), and imposed on men or threatened to be imposed on men, in order to force them to conform to the unjust demands of the FoH, and to control their socio-sexual behaviour.
Social femininity is contrary to Natural femininity in males, which has a biological basis, and although present in all men in minor degrees, when it becomes overbearing, becomes the basis for classifying the male as a different gender, a Third Gender rather than a 'man'.
Males who are naturally feminine, normally express this femininity through norms/ roles/ traits of social femininity (in heterosexual societies, arbitrarily) fixed by the society. If these norms are even wrongly held contrary to social manhood, then (straight) men stay away from these roles or traits.
E.g., when holding another man's hand is held 'feminine' by the Western society, (straight) men stay away from it, for the fear of being imposed with social femininity (gay)
Third Gender is known as 'gay' (or rather LGBT) in the West, although wrongly defined in terms of sexuality rather than gender. Imposition of the 'gay' identity is thus the biggest and the most concrete act of being imposed with social femininity, and understandably, (straight) men fear the word 'gay' the most.
