Gay culture can be pretty sexist

[u/Error_rdt]

Now do I think all of gay culture sexist? No. But I've noticed it can act pretty sexist and in this example it has to with how it rationalizes the popularity of more libertine lifestyles among same sex attracted men. It essentially believes that it's popularity is a byproduct of them being men and that men are inherently bound to be more sexualy libertine and that is not in the nature of men to engage in committed monogamous relationships.

It also believes that is the women who are the ones who are inherently romantic. It assumes that there is an apparent nature of both men and women that makes it that only the woman ensures that the man doesn't enter more libertine lifestyles. How is this not a sexist generalization of both men and women? not only that but it also feels like a way to dodge acknowledging how much the popularity of these lifestyles are a byproduct of culture more than anything. I have also seen people say that the popularity is also a byproduct of oppression but not only do I find that speculatory given the limited visibility but I also find it hard to believe that someone who values a committed monogamous relationship would Resort to something so anti thetical to that this also feels like a away to dodge acknowledging how much the sexual revolution and urban libertine subcultures from the 60s and 70s influenced gay culture.

People are more than their sex humans are complex creatures a person is not bound to act certain way just because of what is in their pants. For something that is considered progressive this is essentially just woke sexism.

I was in the rave culture after high school and many of my best friends were gay, it was fun to shit on women constantly with them, we bonded over shitting on women all the time
