Let's Discuss!
I found this quote by Marilyn Frye in a reddit thread.
“ To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex. Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”

R3 - you're not male. You aren't qualified to comment and neither is Frye.

I truthfully don't understand why men just don't fuck each other. They'd both have The Owner's Manual.

Heterosexual female culture is homoerotic; it is woman-loving.”

It doesn't work because women hate each other.

In most societies throughout history women hung out with other women, and men hung out with other men, and they got together mostly to have sex. I think this is a much healthier system than what we have, the nuclear couple/family which is supposed to fulfil all our social needs

This reminded me of an article I read years ago about straight men / married couples. It mentioned how in a straight relationship, men are only allowed to be friends with other men - gay/straight doesn't matter. Men are now 'allowed' to have friendships with other women, however -100% absolutely not - because a straight man has truly no intention of only ever being friends with women. That 'friendship' will develop into something else. Every single woman knows that.
I forgot my point, but I already had all that typed out ^^

It's almost as if there are different kinds of love.

Stop complaining. This sounds pretty good to me.

Only if those other gay men show the negative characteristics/qualities that are associated with women.
