Ballet Dreams vs. Toxic Masculinity

Our protagonist’s girlfriend is a talented ballerina, and her 7-year-old nephew dreams of becoming a ballet dancer just like her. However, when the boy’s father (who had been absent for most of his life) finds out about his son’s passion, he lashes out, accusing the girlfriend of turning his son gay and claiming that ballet is too feminine.
