Gay men vs Feminism: An unexpected ally


I am a gay male who has been aware of red pill concepts for many years. It wasn't until I discovered the manosphere that everything began to click. Obviously, because I am gay, I have been able to observe and interact with female friends without any sexual undertones. Not sure why, but I grasped the concept of "sexual market values" at a very young age & had the intellect to understand that men and women placed more importance on different things. I have also read a lot of literature related to these theories.


For those of you who have read The Misandry Bubble and are otherwise aware of the current state of affairs....Western society has severely devalued the needs & importance of males. I won't repeat the facts, go read the article in the sidebar if you are interested.


However, I have made a very interesting observation.

The link above is on the Advocate, a popular gay news source.


If you don't want to read it, I'll summarize the interesting points.



Andy Cohen stepped in it last month while interviewing Nicki Minaj. He asked the singer, “Who has the biggest dick in the music industry?” Minaj responded that she’s only been with one man for 10 years and shut that conversation down. Cohen’s invasive line of questioning, in which he also asked to take a selfie with Minaj’s butt (to which she politely said no), is another example for the conversation in media on whether gay and bi men are being sexist while making offhand misogynistic comments. A few celebrities have attempted to speak out about the misogyny they've experienced from queer men. Their arguments, though, were lost amid usage of homophobic slurs or spouting of overused gay tropes. Still, there is truth to gay and bi men being sexist.



Nicki Minaj, who raps about "anacondas", fat asses, and markets herself as an extremely sexual being....is offended by a gay man asking her a sexual question. How sexist of him!!!


Furthermore, Nicki Minaj, who flaunts her bare naked ass in numerous music videos, claims a gay man is being "sexist" for wanting to take a photo with it. Are you serious? She made her ass a pop culture icon!



When I turned to social media to ask my female readers about misogyny they've encountered at the hands of queer men, I was inundated with responses. Stories of gay and bi men fat-shaming, slut-shaming, and doling out harshly critical (usually unsolicited) advice on beauty standards were common. Comments like “You would be pretty if you smiled more” or “wore more makeup” or “dressed better.” This is a clear example of gay and bi men asserting authority over women by critiquing their appearance as needing to become more feminine or conventionally beautiful. While for gay men there may not be a sexual attraction involved, there is still a clear need to appease male-appointed standards. Whether or not it's weighted in sexual attraction, misogyny continues to affirm a patriarchal society. So there is no difference between straight male misogyny and that of gay and bi men.



So, basically, gay men are giving women pointers on how to be more attractive to men. Is telling them to wear more makeup, lose weight, and encouraging them to smile more really that bad? Gay men, like straight men, are remarkably similar in the fact that they are both VISUAL creatures. A gay man, who understands the importance of appearance, is actually acting in his female friends BEST INTEREST by giving them this type of advice. They claim this is sexist...but I believe it's helpful advice.



Because gay and bi men are systemically oppressed because of our sexuality, we cannot go on believing that our other identities — such as our gender or race — automatically mean we cannot oppress others. That is absolutely false. We can oppress people of all genders if we are not intentionally working to dismantle patriarchal structures, starting within our community. We cannot exchange a heteropatriarchy for a homopatriarchy when it still oppresses and silences women in and out of our community. We must deconstruct the patriarchy, listen to the concerns raised by women, and work on creating safe spaces for their voices to be heard.



Ummm....yeah.


Don't get me wrong, INSECURE gay men are definitely quick to jump on the feminist bandwagon and love to help push their agenda. After all, by helping women to secure THEIR "rights" gay men may be helping to secure their own. It's almost a partnership, in a way. The feminist agenda is more important for gay males who are extremely feminine and struggle to fit in with heterosexual males. For them, a world dominated by females doesn't sound so bad.


The reality is, however, that the MAJORITY of gay men are not as feminine and women-worshiping as the media makes us out to be. Think about it....the only gay men you commonly see are the ones who are immediately obvious. They talk like females, walk like females, etc...but there are many gay men who do not act like this. Our sexuality is not immediately obvious, and because of that, we do not face the "wrath" and "oppression" of straight males as commonly as a feminine gay male would.


Thus, as the situation for males continues to get worse, in my belief, gay men will eventually become some of your strongest allies. Think about it. Gay men gain NOTHING from a society dominated by women. In fact, gay men can't even play the "white knight" role. The extra chance at getting laid because they're vocally pushing their agenda is totally useless to them. They do not care about "female admiration". They do not care about the sexual rewards that may come from putting them on a political pedestal.


In fact - I'm willing to wager that gay politicians (which are very common) will soon become active on the political front for male interests. At the present moment gay politicians are preoccupied with securing their own rights. However, it's common knowledge that gay marriage/rights will be legalized across the country in the near future. 70% of the population currently lives in a state that allows gay marriage.


So when the United States 100% legalizes this and frees up their time, what exactly do you think they are going to fight against?


The FEMALE dominated society that they gain absolutely NOTHING from (at least not anymore now that they have secured their own legal rights).


If you aren't totally convinced, then consider this: LESBIANS started, and are VERY active in, the feminist movement. They did not benefit from the current state of affairs, and as a result, REVOLTED. Gay men, in my belief, will become some of their biggest opponents. They're just preoccupied at the moment.




OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER:


When a male black widow spider mates with a female, she rips his head off when they are finished in order to supply nourishment for her future young. You know who wouldn't be so quick to commit suicide? Gay black widows....if they even exist.


In female dominated animal societies, such as elephants and Bonobos, homosexual acts are very common. In male dominated animal species, such as Chimpanzees, homosexuality isn't as common.


Is this nature's way of making sure male Bonobo's don't face the same fate as male black widow spiders? Do gay males provide societies with stability? In fact, I'd be very interested to see if anyone has done any research on homosexuality rates and the rise of "female dominated" societies.


I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.
