@SomaliRose @RadLola “Less than the optimal person” = the misogyny cover. Effeminate men are “not men”, so they are women’s responsibility.

That policing is directed at men. If you assign an entirely male exercise as “misogyny”, you’re halfway to accepting that effeminate men are “not men”, ergo women. And you’ve let men off the hook for their own attitudes about themselves.

I don’t know if I’d call it “hatred”. I would call it fear. Homophobia comes from the fear men feel that they aren’t “manly enough.”
