some of the most horribly sexist attitudes.... I've ever seen are coming from the ghey men.
I'm not just talking about the odd joke, which is cool in the right context, but I mean outright insulting and denigrating ideas and attitudes about women and female bodies. I'm not accusing anyone here, but hey, we all get that's not what you're into, guys. So what gives? I know the planet's abundant with redneck asshole straight men, but I've personally never encountered any straight guy that could match the bile spewed by certain homos towards women. Anyone care to give a crack at why? Because I sure don't know. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

If a have to hear about how much pussy stinks and how disgusting it is one more time, Imma shoot someone in the neck. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

There are jokes and then there are not jokes. Nothing wrong with humour, in the right context. But coming from certain gay men, it goes way past the funny and into outright insulting. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I see it from time to time here, but it's usually pretty rare when it seems like someone means what they say. Not so in the real world. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I'd argue that gay men, sexual activity aside, do not function without women en masse. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

But it's clear as day: women are disgusting; women should be kept in their place; women are objects "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I can see how it would be a comfort thing, but to me that makes me think of a person who stays in their hometown forever because they're too afraid of what they might find out in the big, bad world. and i still think most of the sexist attitude has to do with the unspoken war between lesbians and gay men. The war seems to stem from the shit attitudes about all women, and not vice versa. And the war? It's stupid. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |
