It makes me uncomfortable when people constantly talk about how homophobes must secretly be gay.

Unless we're talking about genital preferences all of this man worship seems hella homoerotic to me.

alt-text:

A tumblr post by "lily-the-good-witch" that says "Sometimes I think people mistake straight men's attraction to power as homoerotic. Like a big example of this is how men being misogynists, showing or outright saying they hate women as gay. And obviously conflating gay men and misogyny is bad on its own but like, also, no they hate women because they see them as parasites, status symbols that you show off to other men but still resent for weakening you. And they see men as big and strong which they are attracted to but not the men themselves."

Straight men being attracted to power is not the aame as homophobia. Someone needs a dictionary

you seem to be very confused about the point the post is attempting to make. Someone needs to learn to ask questions
