This is so homophobic. Like, disgustingly so. Why are you using gay men and gay sexuality as some fucked up "gotcha" for misogynists? Even if hating someone meant you couldn't be attracted to them sexually, how would that make them attracted to men? Homosexuality is attraction to men, not lack of attraction to women.
You can’t be attracted to them in a romantic/loving way if you view them as objects and hate them. In history when women would be viewed as objects and sex was for reproduction, lots of men had gay sex and only used women for reproduction. In some cultures today, boys have to ingest semen of older men in order to become a man.
Again, it absolutely is possible to objectify and oppress someone while still being attracted to them. Straight people do it to us all the time. Yes, women were used as vessels for reproduction while men would have sex with each other. In Ancient Rome and Greece. That’s two societies in history. Everywhere else was just plain misogynistic. Sounds like you just want an excuse to hate queer men
There’s a point where they cannot physically love women because of how much they cannot respect them, and they can only have actual respect for men. Some misogynistic people hate women but still view them as people, just inferior to men, but those who view them as objects and not people cannot love them as a person.
Back when women were only viewed as objects and not a physical person, gay marriage and sex was more common since it was more of higher status and had more of a praise. Some cultures still view gay sex as a higher praise. I think that men who are so misogynistic that they hold these views are homosexual due to it.
I’m a gender studies major and I can attest that this is not what internalized homophobia is at all. Internalized homophobia is hating oneself and/or others for being gay. Not being misogynistic. What you’re talking about is called ✨misogyny✨ which is the hatred, oppression, and discrimination of women
Ok so let’s break down my point: MAGA men: hate gay people, so misogynistic they want women to die if they have a personal choice, basically want women to be quiet and used as objects and not people (while misogynistic men still view them as people, just inferior) Internalized homophobia: hate themselves for being gay and don’t accept it, hate gay people History: gay sex was praised due to men having higher status, women were objects and killed for personal choices
But MAGA men DONT praise gay sex, nor do they like gay people either. They’re just misogynistic, not gay. Equating being gay with misogyny or misogyny with being gay is both homophobic and a misunderstanding of how misogyny works. Misogyny thrives on patriarchal control and female subjugation, not on gay sex
Them not liking gay people is the internal homophobia part. And I’m saying they’re like a step ABOVE misogyny, like over the top where it’s back when women can’t have basic human rights (which a lot of them want). That’s how lots of civilizations who praise gay sex are: they think gay sex is a higher status since women are only for reproduction and men are the only ones who are viewed as humans.
Hating women isn’t being gay though. Being a queer man is about definitive attraction and love for men. Not hating women. Do you think lesbians are lesbians solely because they hate men? No. It’s because they love women. Yeah, in some ancient societies, men did associate misogyny with love for men. But that’s not how MAGA men work. They just hate women. I’m a queer man and I’m very leftist, and I love women. Me being queer does not automatically make me misogynistic, just like the reverse
I’m viewing it how it’s like republican -> conservative -> MAGA or democrat -> liberal So it’s misogynistic -> MAGA men, where MAGA men are a level ABOVE misogyny that they’d think having gay sex would have a higher praise since they don’t even view women as people. Like how Ancient Greece and Rome were because they viewed women as objects and men as people, so gay sex was a status symbol
No but you literally are saying misogynistic men are gay. MAGA men are misogynistic, and you are calling them gay. And no, MAGA men would not fit in with those ancient cultures because again, MAGA men do NOT view gay sex as a status symbol. They hate us! They hate men like me!! They hate gay sex!! They would call me a slur for taking a dick just the same as they call women slurs for taking it. Idk how else to say this bro
Again, I'm viewing it how it's like republican -> conservative -> MAGA or democrat -> liberal So it's misogynistic -> MAGA men, where MAGA men are a level ABOVE misogyny that they'd think having gay sex would have a higher praise since they don't even view women as people. Like how Ancient Greece and Rome were because they viewed women as objects and men as people, so gay sex was a status symbol
They don't though. Like, we know for a fact that they don't view gay sex that way. It's not a hypothetical that you can debate. They're actively working against gay men because they view us as disgusting. Also, the fuck do you mean "a level above misogyny" ? There is no "level" above misogyny, that's not how these words work. It's all misogyny.
Are you a gay man? Because if you aren't (and honestly even if you are), I'd take the multiple gay men in your comments telling you this is homophobic as a sign that you're misguided. Gay people being seen as haters of the opposite gender rather than simply loving their own is a real issue that goes back generations, and this narrative feeds into it.
Fucking hilarious that when it say it now it’s downvoted lol. And I mean levels because misogyny you still view women as people but they are inferior to men. This is when women are objects, hence basically a level above it and back how it was when everything was patriarchal and women were property and not humans. So therefore, MAGA men would have the mentality that gay sex is more of a dominant thing and higher status since men are humans and women are objects.
You're using theory instead of reality. Sure, you can draw a line of reasoning to hypothesize that MAGA men could view gay sex as better than sex with women, but that doesn't fucking matter when we can look at reality and see that it's NOT TRUE. Women aren't just seen as objects, they're seen as sex objects. As in, their entire purpose is to provide sexual pleasure and means of reproduction for men. So men enjoying sex with women is PART OF THEIR OPPRESSION.
Ok so basically I am seeing it where MAGA men are like in a circle, ok? They hate women to a point where they can basically can only love men. I’m not saying this about ALL gay men or all misogynistic men, I’m NOT saying misogynistic = gay. MAGA men are so anti-women that atp they’d probably just prefer men.
I understand how you're "seeing it". I don't need you to keep explaining. I'm telling you that you are WRONG. You are, despite your intentions, equating misogyny to homosexuality, and you are not correct in your assertions that they can only love men. People are multifaceted, they can love someone while still abusing them. This has nothing to do with gay men. Leave us out of it.
I am also an abuse survivor. People are fucked up and abuse people they feel love for because they don't actually care about that person's feelings. We can argue about the emotional vs. social models of "love" all day, but that doesn't actually matter, because as I stated earlier, absence of love for women does not equal a love for men.
"You're using theory instead of reality.

Heterosexual sex in general is only viewed for reproductive reasons, which is why the heteronormative lifestyle was pushed on housewives in the 60’s. Women are viewed as objects for reproduction, which is why in history, and many cultures today, have gay sex for status and pleasure as well.
If you genuinely think that heterosexual sex in the current american culture is only seen as a way to produce children, then I can only assume that you've either literally never spoken to any heterosexual about sex, or you've gone so deep into sanitized historical records that you can't see what's in front of you. Regardless, though, this still wouldn't prove your point correct, because an absence of attraction to women has nothing to do with attraction to men. This argument is tiring. Ciao.
Does this equate to gay sex being made for nothing “because of biology”?? look at this from a different angle for a second. Many of the MAGA guys you’re talking about make unwanted advances on women. They make crappy jokes and various other things, viewing women as sex objects. Because they want to have sex with them. They don’t do that to men because they’re not attracted to men. Do misogynistic people with internalized homophobia exist? obviously. Are they the people you’re talking about? No
if you truly think that a significant percentage of overtly misogynistic men were gay, do you really think that over the course of decades, they wouldn’t stop also aggressively hating on gay people as well??? If this were true, we *would* see them praising gay sex over straight sex like you’re saying. But they don’t. Because they don’t have that interest in gay sex. I
Are you well? Like genuinely. I’ve seen you argue this all day and you’re wrong nearly every single time. If you actually believe that gay sex is “normalized in the world” then you are blatantly ignoring countless laws that criminalize same sex relationships, marriages, and sex acts, as well as queer people in general. People can be jailed, attacked, or killed with zero consequences just for being gay in a lot of countries. You’re just wrong and ignorant, end of story
I’m not saying that in order to be gay you need to hate women, right? I’m saying that I think they might have some sort of internal conflict that makes MAGA men hate women because they’re not fully attracted to them. So yes it is a joke, but I genuinely think it is true due to history using women as objects and them having the same mentality, and how a lot of people I know are. Plus, if “men need to have sexual experience and women need to be pure”, then men need experience with each other
