If he's a hot twink, then yeah no that'd be fine with me. Perfectly understandable.

People like this are the progressive version of evangelicals. And like with Christianity they don't get called out enough to keep it from becoming a major problem.

Villainizing male sexuality is why we have a whole new generation boys heading into alt right circles and so far the response has been a variant of telling them to 'man up.' And its going to get a lot worse before it gets even a little better.

This is the root of the problem with much of the discussion around male identity online.

Women finally, and rightfully, gained a voice, and plenty of dudes listened. Many of them, not really understanding feminism as an academic discipline or having any real sympathy towards any aspect of being a man, used that voice to point of the many issues faced by women in the world and to fight for women.

Where this falls apart is that because of the lack of real understanding regarding feminism and the concept of patriarchy, a lot of it boiled down to "shut up, the women are talking" and "we don't care about your problems"

None of this makes the problems away, none of this is really geared towards equality, and much of it is just switching the genders on deeply toxic patriarchal power structures that were used to oppress women for centuries.

When you think about how stupid 90% of the people involved on both sides of this discourse online are, it's of little surprise so many women went looking for easy answers from hucksters who pitched exploitation and oppression as empowerment.

I really liked bell hooks's approach to this. She focuses on incorporating male problems into feminism as a focal point, not excluding them.

Interesting. What's a good place to start reading what bell hooks said about this?

I wouldn't consider a woman that drops a guy for this reason to be a progressive.

You would be suprised by how much of the left hates bisexuals, without realizing that makes them as bad as any other bigot

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 17 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

I've had these conversations with people before. I was telling a fellow man how I don't care if my partner is bi. He said something like "woah man, there can be some major trust issues there" implying that her "homosexual needs" will lead her to cheat on me with my sister or something. I didn't follow his logic.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

As if straight/gay people don't cheat all the time because they're apparently not getting their "needs" met. The person being shitty is the issue, not their sexuality.

I wouldn’t say “the left” but biphobia is absolutely insane among non traitor lunatics.

Anon wants that BUSSY without social stigmas. Based and gay.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 48 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The funniest part about this to me is that the AIDs epidemic actually forced medical researchers to accept that sometimes guys have sex with other guys, and they even created the term "Men who have Sex with Men" or MSM to cover this fact, since they aren't necessarily gay or bi.

Like, society needs to get over this. Sometimes people have sex with other people. Sometimes they happen to be different genders, sometimes they're the same. It only means whatever it means to the people fucking and little else

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 24 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Did they say no homo first?

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 21 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

No but they kept their socks on so it's good

The no homo spell kills aids.

[–] Lucelu2@lemmy.zip 11 points 13 hours ago

Um, no. I am an old Xer lady and we know men can be bi too. And like the ladies... sexuality is on a continuum. Some people just love to canoodle with young beautiful bodies no matter what flavor... and as we get older, old beautiful kind considerate people.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 32 points 16 hours ago (19 children)

There's a streamer who I use to follow. Use to because she slowly went alt right. Anyway, one of her hangups with partners was refusing to date any man she suspected of being bi because she didn't want a penis that was up an ass in her. She also believes that most men are bisexual. She probably only dates men who are vocally homophobic.

[–] CaptainThor@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Used to, not use to

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 13 points 14 hours ago

Do the men she fucks not wash their junk?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

She also believes that most men are bisexual.

It's funny, because I see so much bi-erasure among gay friends. The idea that every dude is a 6 on the Kinsey Scale and just suffering through straight sex because they don't know any better is stubbornly resilient.

bi-/homophobic steamer went alt right you say?

sounds like she didn't really "go" alt right as much as she came out as alt right. phrasing intended.

I'm just saying: as a guy, this is not the only double standard, and not the only thing that people see as "you did it once so you're $thing forever" that guys go through.

It's probably one of the most notable though.

As men, we deal with a lot of judgemental shit and we're expected to deal with it "like a man"... Whatever the fuck that means.

Another good example of this is crying. If you have a mental breakdown and fall into a crying fit, people will brand you as a cry baby or some shit, and that will stay with you for a long ass time.

There's so much more. I don't have time to think of, nor detail any of it. Any fellas that have examples, I invite you too add them in reply. Ladies, you can too. And anyone else can, honestly; let's not forget our non-binary family.

I've had two relationships with women immediately go downhill after I cried in front of them. It was like someone flipped a switch and turned off any physical attraction they had to me.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

I’ve discovered that emotional availability means you’re available to mirror her emotions. If she’s mad, you better get mad. If she’s sad, you better get sad.

Can absolutely confirm this, myself, on a personal level.

Never let them see you genuinely vulnerable unless you want to drive them away, or want that to be weaponized against you at some point in the future. Sometimes even both, but never neither.

Only ever provide curated vulnerabilities that offer of themselves no true vulnerability, but satisfies any desire they may have to see vulnerability in you. Like being distressed at the sight of an unknown dead dog on the side of the road, for example. Clean, simple, controllable, and superficial.

Violate this tenet at your own psychological risk.
