While I've experienced some pretty horrible misogyny from some gay men, I don't think this is even close to being accurate (and is one more way to make queer people the enemy). There are plenty of straight men who hate women but still want to fuck them. Those things can coexist, unfortunately.

Yeah, I really don't think Andrew Tate's issues spring from a latent attraction to men.

In fact the study shows that the most misogynistic men were the ones getting laid the most.

You know, it wasn't that long ago when it was pretty common for closeted gay men to overcompensate at hiding their gayness to the point of sexism and homophobia. People like that do still exist. I can imagine some incels very well being queer, and acting out either in compensation or confusion and frustration over their own feelings having not come to terms with their sexuality.

[–] frickineh 5 points 1 year ago

I didn't say that there are no incels who are closeted. Just that I don't think that it's anywhere near "most" of them.

They can, unfortunately. Oof wasn't my intention to make queer people the enemy in any form.

But I've known queer cis men to be misogynistic, granted not to Andrew Tates degree, because they were embarrassed to express their sexual desires.

So this very well could be me with a hammer looking for a nail.
