Straight Women Reinforce Sexism Through Their Own Homophobia

Women want to keep men on edge, make them think they’re fags if they’re not after pussy 24/7, but now with the power to destroy them if they do. Pussy as an all-mighty ATM card is the name of the game.

I have much respect for lesbians and women of color who are veterans at defying gender norms. They usually treat me as a peer, while straight (always white!) women show obeisance to me if they think I’m a straight guy but become cloying and condescending when they find out I’m gay. They do treasure their straight alphas, and I’m not surprised that “50 Shades of Grey” and “365 Days” were both written by this demographic of women, and each has a huge fanbase of them. It’s downright creepy.

Women reinforce sexism by insisting that careening around in an SUV stuffing their faces with Starbucks all day is an actual profession.

Millennial women seem to think letting some idiot fuck them, dressing like a trash bag, and shitting out kids (who they then invariably ignore) constitute a job they should be compensated for.

This is NOT the same thing as what homemakers did in past generations. Those women actually worked their asses off. The entitled skanks of today are just that— skanks.

They do reinforce sexism. I had a very good friend and roommate in college. He loved to listen to and dance around to stupid girly pop songs. I introduced him to classic movies like All About Eve, which he loved. We both loved to cook and try out new recipes. He had one girl come over, and we were our normal selves, she asked if we were fags. After that anytime a girl was around, he had to act as though he hated girly pop songs, he had no idea who Bette Davis was, and the only cooking he did was to grill out. I just remained myself. If I have to change for a person, male or female, then they are not a person I want to be around.

by Anonymousreply 23June 28, 2020 9:43 PM

R23 is a prime example. Women will enforce gender roles with straight men just like other men do. Sometimes it subtle, like a glance and a chuckle if a guy likes or EVEN knows say a Mariah Carey song. I had one male friend in college who made the blanket statement, more than once in mixed company, that he didn’t like ANY girl singers, which was bullshit as I’d seen him get into many a female-sang song when we were partying. Lots of Women are disgusted by ANY feminine qualities in a straight male and when they’re alone they make fun gay men who are too feminine. Women are bullies.

Most of the world’s problems Butterfly Effect back to women’s demands & requirements to get into their precious pussies. Wars are fought over them. Men compete to be the richest and most powerful, why? Pussy! It’s like mating games in the wild, but instead of fluffing feathers and wrastlin’ a fellow lion they have to start a war, steal, kill, build towers to the sky and pollute the earth. Sorry, but in accountability for all... straight women need to accept their egotistical role in everything.

Abusive women establish control over their targets by using brainwashing tactics similar to those used on prisoners of war, hostages, or members of a cult. Most abusers instinctively know these behaviors. Their behavior is mostly unconscious; they’re natural predators. However, some abusive women know exactly what they’re doing, I’d argue that they’re sociopaths. The little giggles and eye rolls are emotional abuse.

If we're to accept that there is a wide variety of gender expressions and welcome them all then gender "norms" are part of that which should be accepted.

I think straight women are always asking if a guy is gay because they don't want to waste their time getting their hopes up with a closet case. Anyway, why do you care what straight women ask each other, OP? That is not what leads to homophobia or what sustains it.

Well, duh. Some women use the same methods straight men use to intimidate other men or make them at least self-conscious: Question their masculinity. And it comes from the same place of being raised with the belief that homosexuality makes a man inferior.

The weird, cloying, obsequious way that straight women act toward men is one of the things I use when I try to figure out if a woman is gay. Gay women never, ever do it.

And while most women don’t explicitly say that gay is bad, that's only if gay stays in its lane. Any bisexuality is a huge no-no. If a man says he's ever been attracted to another men, still less had sex, he's immediately written off as a “health risk”. In reality fraus are threatened that he's not fully under the control of their pussy. And, yes, on some deep level they think that m/m sex is wrong.

R43 Yes, as a bi guy I understand that. Most of my m/f sex is fleeting one-night stands, because of that. If I get to know them beforehand and I'm honest about myself, they shut that door. Though I have had a few who want to convert me to being straight. I enjoyed their "attempts" but it can't actually change me. I am bisexual. I will always be attracted to men and women. Most gay men do not seem to react the same way.

What many can't seem to understand about that, is that while attracted to both, I am also extremely monogamous. The chance of me cheating on a woman with a man, is as unlikely as me cheating with a woman. Being a bisexual does not mean I am an uncontrollable sex addict.

Who said that? Women still have natural roles, as do men, that are required for the human race to move forward. Some roles are more likely male or female because of physical differences. It's the roles that are unnaturally or culturally imposed on people - men and women - and it's the roles forced upon people who choose not to take up those roles. Motherhood, for instance.

Well, I don’t usually like to encourage misogyny or cast other women in a poor light, but, truth be told? My life has been less stressful since I stopped socialising with straight and faux-bi women.

The way conventional women are socialised these days, to be limited self-obsessed wrecks, is a nightmare. They tend to be snap-judgemental, shallow, backbiting, and inverted snobs who step on each other to get to status symbols in their chosen communities first (and not just the Basics & WAGS - even the hippie chicks do this). They have never heard of camaraderie. Many of them are duplicitous and will turn on even the oldest of friends (lesbian/gay or otherwise) to defend the petty self-serving rude sexual behaviour they, their ‘best friends’ or their ‘Man’ exhibit while spurning someone for the slightest hint of innocuous same-sex attraction. It’s all kinds of ridiculous, and I prefer not putting up with their shenanigans if I can help it.

It’s even fucking worse when they have kids; I feel bad saying that too, knowing that the birth rate is dropping off a cliff and that society makes shit so needlessly hard and unfair for mothers sometimes. Even knowing the context, though, I still won’t volunteer to socialise or live near a woman with babies or young kids if I can help it. It’s too much work and minefield-dodging to be around women with so much self-absorption.

That said, much of the time gay men of today aren’t any better to deal with in-person. The number of sniffy, rejecting, cold and sniping sexist or even lesbophobic gay men I met in College and post-grad would stun. The Lesbian Drama trope is largely projection, imo - ever tried to confront a straight woman or a gay man about something negative they or their SO or their kid have done with total disregard for others around? Yeah, exactly.

Still I dream of a world where all women and gay men co-exist in sisterly solidarity. It’s a pipe-dream, but I wonder about it nonetheless.

I used to have mostly women friends, but now most friends are males. It has its own complexities, but for the most part, what you see is what you get when it comes to straight guys. With too many women, and frau-adjacent gay men, the hidden agendas, duplicity, manipulation and manufactured drama got to be exhausting.

And I agree, women friends value you, but I think subconsciously to them you are inferior to the straight man. I think in some way they resent the fact that they have to relate to you equally and can’t use their sexuality and gender as leverage as they do with straight men. it fucks up the social dynamic they are used to.

I also feel bad for most men in straight relationships that dare to show vulnerability (sadness, fear) to their female partner because a lot of women don’t know what to do with it. It’s why many men go off and shoot themselves rather than admit they are struggling emotionally and need help. They are more afraid of that shame than dying.

To clarify, I am not saying this is absolutely true of all men or women. I am merely identifying certain realities I have seen in my own experiences with men and women. This may or may not apply to you, but I think some people would agree these things exist.

Women are, unfortunately, prone to duplicity, envy and passive-aggressive rancor, which would have to be dealt with before any serious attempt to deal with their anti-male hatred and the corrupting nature of their presence in relationships could be addressed. Please do not attempt to blame these issues on societal factors alone. The biological basis is too strong, although R86 has a couple points worth considering.

R87, on the other hand, simply projects and projects and hates and hates.

Yes the frau-adjacent gay men make me wonder if they are naturally that way—or socialized to behave in certain ways due to a largely female social circle?

So R88 says after sitting there projecting and hating. The sexists, misogynists, and incels are also stupid hypocrites.

Why is questioning bad behavior among some men legitimate, but if were questioning negative behavior among some women, we’re misogynistic incels and the conversation gets shut down?

by Anonymousreply 91July 18, 2020 1:16 AM

Did you even read the thread, R91? You can start with R88. This entire thread was started to shit on women by some sexist, misogynistic incel. They are all over DL endlessly attacking women. The pretzels they can contort themselves into to blame women for everything, including all the bad things men do, is impressive.

It is uncommon to be gay, but I don't really think that makes me unconventional.

[quote] and while attempts are made to socialise us as uniformly as straight women the process simply does not take as well for obvious reasons.

In fact, if anything this statement disproves your initial point. We are socialized the same way but because it doesn't take, there is even more resentment and anger in us than straight women. We should theoretically, be more messed up.

by Anonymousreply 93July 18, 2020 1:29 AM

R92 I see your point. This is kind of a bait post to slam women and invite criticism of women.

However, I do notice that often times criticism of women that has some validity is discounted out of hand and nothing but sexism and misogyny and therefore the discussion is over.

There are many criticisms of gay men here that don’t fit me, for example, but most of the time I know they are valid depending on the individual. However, I’m not going to demand people stop discussing or addressing them because they don’t apply to me —or dismiss it as mere homophobia on the part of the person who identified it.

by Anonymousreply 94July 18, 2020 1:45 AM

But you would if it were actual homophobia and these posts are actual sexism and misogyny. Gay men aren't hunted here. Women are. Fuckers don't seem to remember that lesbians are women so they are attacking us at the same time.

(I await the sexism and misogyny of the "this is a gay man's board, fish, so get the fuck out because women suck and gay men hate them and blahblahblah!" post sure to follow with absolute glee and full knowledge that all they can do is whine.)

by Anonymousreply 95July 18, 2020 2:37 AM

Not me--I like women and lesbians here. I think they add a lot to the conversation, like ElderLez.

Do these kind of discussions ever happen about men (or gay men) on forums with a primarily lesbian focus/demographic? Serious question because I have no idea.

This thread specifically says ‘straight’ women in the headline. The Trigglypuff on here needs to shut the fuck up or provide a valid argument other than labeling any slight critique of women as SEXIST MISOGYNISTIC INCEL TALK. It’s probably always bitching about how horrible straight white men and white gay men are...

R101 so which criticisms in this thread do you agree with?

Which posts do you find sexist and misogynistic?

by Anonymousreply 103July 18, 2020 4:41 AM

I think criticism of straight women is fair but when it's followed by nonsense like "don't be surprised if he fucks the girl at the office" then it loses credibility. Given the amount of gay men who have been cheated on I doubt if that were said of gay men it would be tolerated and rightly so. I've seen the way straight couples interact and 9 times out of 10 if said relationships fail it's usually because of poor behavior on the part of the man.

The dynamics between straight men and women aren't really relevant to straight women and gay men or lesbians. The relationship between women and gay men is more like the relationship between women and women and the desire that gay men feel towards straight men colors those relationships. Women are sexual competition to other women and women are sexual competition to gay men. Not for other gay men obviously but straight men.

by Anonymousreply 104July 18, 2020 5:00 AM

I have learned to be really nice to straight women superficially but to keep a healthy distance and don’t confide too much. Most of the time they tell other people or share stuff a la “omg guess what my gay friend told me!”

The minute they sense any kind of attitude or dislike you have the possibility of being made a target of a campaign of passive aggressiveness and mean girl behavior. This is usually a workplace frau thing.

It’s also not fun having a straight male friend who gets a new girlfriend because they expect your friendship now includes them as well. Suddenly all social encounters includes her. Also assume he tells her everything you talk about in private because he probably does. Straight guys are absolutely stupid when it comes to this. I think it’s to keep girlfriends off their back about other shit, but I don’t know.

I just know a lot of straight women (and new gay boyfriends) are good at running off previous friends of their boyfriends and cultivate friendships with mutual friends they like and consider non-threatening. I’ve lost few friends over the years that way and it’s sad, but it indicates the relationship has probably run its course.

by Anonymousreply 106July 18, 2020 5:09 AM

R105 the workplace thing is absolutely true. A female-dominated group will turn on a gay unless he falls in line and plays fag to their hag. Women like to exude control over gay men in the way they wish they could with straight men. I’ve seen women be down right sadistic to gay men and it’s like they project all the bullshit from straight men off to the gays. I saw it happen to a guy who the girls at work thought was cute & really liked, but he wasn’t out yet at work... he came out to them but he wasn’t femme and willing to talk dick & Dancing With The Stars so within months they’d all turned on him and basically created a hostile environment, then fired him. Men serve three purposes to women: reproduction, money or gossiping while doing their hair & makeup and not necessarily in that order. Biggest advice to younger gays is DUMP THE FAG HAGS, BECAUSE THEY WILL DUMP YOU... eventually.

R106 no I’m not taking about being secretive or deceptive. I’m talking about grilling them about just random private conversations and then turning them into something they’re not. Or confiding something personal and finding out he told her when you asked him not to.

I’ve been at recovery meetings where they tell people that what discussed is confidential and is not to be discussed outside the room. They make a special point of saying “Including your significant other!” because many people just tell their spouses everything, even things they shouldn’t.

R112 That may be true, mostly because those fathers reject their sons to some degree for being gay. On the other hand, most girls have healthy relationships with their dads.

I can only speak from my experiences—and had the same thing happen with a gay cousin and his new boyfriend so it’s not just a woman thing, but more a couples thing where they decide NO SECRETS.

But there are things that fall outside that with friends that should be respected. I wouldn’t expect a boyfriend or girlfriend to give me a full debriefing of their private conversations with personal friends, but there are couples that do.

R123 absolutely.

This entitlement level even shoots up in closet cases. My gay cousin has grown to be an absolute bindipper, treating his family like dirt and looking down on the likes of us. It’s no thanks to his sow of a beard convincing him that the world now revolves around their fug little family. It hasn’t occurred to them that they’re just suburban office-drone zilches living a rather pathetic lie just to score a paltry inheritance, and that their son will suffer when he’s older because of it.

Fake-straight people are heinous.

He really pinged from when I first met hem at age 14 so no surprise there but.....when he was 19 he said he had burnt the bridges behind him and was no longer gay. He is with a female friend of ours since then.

They’ve had a pretty unhappy relationship. she is really depressed, they have a bad sex life(doh) and I don’t understand why she stays with him. she knows he’s gay. He is also not the “masculine straight” type, they have kids now. smh

Gay people don’t have the drive to procreate? No sexual urges or wanting to have kids? At least some of us do, apparently. Mostly lesbians. I’d agree with you that society as a WHOLE has an obsession with procreation, which has led to worldwide overpopulation, but a species without the drive to procreate.... ?
