Well it maybe true to some degree and I'm all for being the best version of oneself. But many factors influence what a "man" is and one of them is the opposite sex.

it's already not so attractive to watch TV and even less attractive to watch anime or other children stuff on it.

What it really comes down to is that you're too weak to be yourself.

This might hurt to hear, but you're a coward if you let gender roles stop you from enjoying something.

I sincerely recommend reading some theory on gender. Gender Trouble by Judith Butler is a surprisingly approachable introduction to the subject, despite not being written as such.

The "opposite sex" isn't a monolithic bloc.

You could police your identity to make yourself attractive to someone that you need to hide yourself from for the rest of your life, but it's a tremendous waste of energy. Find yourself an anime girlfriend.
