Why aren’t women outed as lesbians more? Why is everyone so hyper aware of gayness?

Everyone always has something to say about men being gay or even acting slightly feminine, but not much is said about women’s presumed sexuality, until they’re driving a fork lift while wearing overalls. Why are women given such a wide berth? I would argue that women have more flexibility in gender roles now than men by far. Men have a pretty narrow spectrum to operate in comfortably. Women run the gamut, while men are allowed to be either knuckle-dragging providers or feminine gay gal pal accessories. What gives?

Why even care? Are you ashamed of being gay? Did Mommie disinherit you?

Quit whining.

Homophobia goes hand-in-hand with misogyny. Women are still seen and treated as second class citizens. Gay men are associated with women/femininity as are perceived as taking a step down in cultural status. Taking it further, gay men represent an existential and potentially direct threat to the social order by not fulfilling the expected “role” as the male progenitor and provider of a family.

This toxicity has such disrespect and disdain for women and their agency, that female sexuality is given little consideration. “Your body, my choice” seems to be the subtext of how many men are raised to treat women; especially in conservative religious communities.

Weird.

R17 yikes. The underlying homophobia in your comment is very telling, you might as well just say “all gays are femme fairy fags who ONLY love Judy Garland and they are NEVER masculine”. Talk about constraining gender roles. You’re probably one of those gays who demand that only diva music be played and that the only acceptable movies are hag camp flicks, right? Those masculine football bros really put you in your place and you stayed there. You think there is not a masculine bone in your body. Now you’re further driven into your own echo chamber hell by the LGBTQIA+ community that demands strict conformity or else immediate exile. Sucks to be you, bro.

by Anonymousreply 20December 1, 2024 6:29 AM

R3 has it right

Being male is the traditional "ideal" in the US. So butch women are fine because they're more towards the "ideal." Whereas fem men are scoffed at.

It's similar to how Trans-women are the target of bigoted-scrutiny whereas Trans-men are pretty much left not bothered.

But I am gonna call you out OP. Sweepingly equating gayness with "being feminine" is a bigoted stereotype in-itself. Sure, feminine gays do stand out more obviously but gay ≠ fem in most cases. The vast majority of gay guys pass just fine in the straight world - that's why you don't notice them.

One of the resident bi bros here; my favorite dude in the world to me is a straight-passing gay. As for over-the-top femmes, all I can think of is a completely over-the-top travel YouTuber whose mannerisms seemed so exaggerated, even the most straight and feminine women in the world would be judged as butch by comparison. I can’t recall his name or channel right now though.

Because straight women are likely to be tomboys. Men who are truly effeminate but still 100% is not nearly as common. Also many lesbians could pass as straight but many gay men can't pass as straight even if they are not necessarily effeminate. Like a lot of masculine gay men still have gay face or gay voice.

R24 same. Life is simple, men are looking to spread their seed and women are trying to comb through the biological pool for the perfect offspring provider, women eliminate gays from the equation and toss them aside as broken and unnecessary. Men are homophobic because they are scared of the pussy supply being cutoff by association with gays, women are homophobic because they eugenic Nazi cunts. I’ll stand that on a percentage basis (per capita and by incidence) that women are more homophobic. Women are more consistently homophobic, mentally abusive etc. For every 1 fag bashing, there are 1000 emasculation and degradations towards some gay man who is dehumanized and treated like a prop & accessory by his fag hag.

Agree with what R3 wrote.

Women who are independent and intelligent threaten some men, and these men will denigrate such women with charges of what they perceive to be transgressive sexuality. A case in point is Hillary Clinton. When she projected herself as a different type of First Lady during her husbands's tenure as POTUS, rumors of her lesbianism abounded. This is not the case so much when such women come from the right. The fact that Condi Rice is a lesbian was ignored because her politics aligned with those from whom such accusations come.

R32 and vice versa with Hillary. Much like liberals ignore that Kamala appears to be a flaming alkie. People are simple idiot, who sugarcoat others just because they align with their own interests.

Women are threatened by any men who won’t bow down to them and hand them all the power, simply for having tits. You just want power to abuse it too, you’re not some superior species. If all these supposedly oppressed people were so benevolent then you would see the ones who were successful actually helping to uplift their fellow allegedly oppressed. You’re not seeing Beyoncé giving back to the black community, her and Jay-Z could really bring up some distressed black areas but they don’t. I don’t see all the millionaire female celebrities doing anything, except cutting donation checks to bullshit charities that don’t really do anything except fulfill their accountants request for a specific writeoff amount.

Your entire identity and so many others is wrapped up in playing the looping narrative of triumphant victim to some evil white boogeyMAN, but look inside… you’re your own worst enemy. You use others to make excuses for your failures. You have more opportunities than ever in history and if you have failed that’s on you.

R33 you’re a misandrist. You prove my point in every post you make. Now time for you to call me an “incel” and a “woman hater” and a “misogynist” and ask if “mommy was mean”. Groundbreaking retorts.

I've noticed lots of female pop stars have discussed being bi or their attraction to the same-sex and it gets barely any mention while if a male pop star did it it would be received very differently. For women it's often seen as a "phase" or experimenting whereas for men you tent to get labelled more and it follows you around. Part of it is probably that women have closer friendships with other women and share a lot more, have less boundaries, so it's not seen as a massive step to be more intimate with each other. But most guys are terrified of getting close to their male friends, emotionally or physically.

by Anonymousreply 45December 1, 2024 11:44 PM

Homophobia is based in women’s inspection of men for reproductive opportunities. Women require men to act “toxically masculine” in order to win their affection. Women could end homophobia but they don’t because it benefits them.

IMO it's because straight men still rule the world and most straight men are turned on by females having sex with each other, and are turned off by males having sex with each other. They are more apt to be bigoted against gay men than gay women because of that.

Men aren't responsible for any bad behavior they engage in, it's women who force them into it, despite men's almost exclusive physical advantage over men.

Furthermore, despite having almost exclusive control and power of the world throughout millennia, men are not responsible for any homophobia.

In fact, if you are a gay man who values masculinity you too are at the mercy of women despite not needing them for any reason whatsoever.
