Today, as many of you no doubt know, is Gay Pride Day. Here in Chicago, that means the annual Pride Parade, a celebration of all things LGBTQetc — and a nice aerobic workout for parade participants. (Gyrating on a float for three hours dressed in a leather harness and thong will burn roughly 1000 calories. But beware of chafing!)
Rookh Kshatriya, proprieter of the Anglobitch blog (devoted to the notion that women in the Anglosphere are, well, bitches), has evidently decided to celebrate Pride Weekend by offering us all his theories on gay male sexuality. Which is to say, his theory that there is no such thing as gay male sexuality, and that all those gay men out marching today would much rather be spending their Sunday eating bagels and doing the New York Times crossword puzzle with some comely (non-lesbian) lasses.
Yep, in Rookh’s World, gay men – or, as he puts it, “gay” men — are actually nothing more than exceptionally horny straight men who have been unfairly denied sex-on-demand with women of their choosing.
Let’s let him explain this:
Despite their rhetoric about lifestyles and the contemplation of flowers, gay men are clearly entranced by orgasm to an extent far surpassing that of heterosexual men.
Alas, in our Feminazified world, women sometimes refuse to have sex with men. Deprived a natural outlet for their sexy urges, horny dudes have to, well, improvise a bit. Why try to finagle your way into a vagina assiduously guarded by some dumb lady, when other dudes just as horny as you have holes of their own available for the asking?
As Rookh sees it, these uber-horny dudes really have no other choice.
[A]re most gay men just hyper-sexualized males – a self-selecting group whose priapic urges can only be satisfied by rejecting the relative sexual deprivation inescapably attendant on heterosexuality? The more one considers this possibility, the more plausible it seems. Even some badass with the looks of Apollo, the Game of Roissy and the confidence of a warlord would struggle to enter a nightclub and say: “I want sex NOW!” and expect to get it.
A terrible, terrible injustice. But there is a way out:
Yet homosexual men can enter any gay bath house in any Anglosphere city, say the very same words and expected to be sexually serviced by several men in a matter of minutes! In short, the sexual mismatch between the sexes makes the heterosexual lifestyle a poor option for any hyper-sexualized male – a non-option, in fact, if he wants to fully slake his sexual thirsts. By contrast, adopting homosexuality allows him to instantly indulge his every sexual whim in every manner conceivable.
Unless, of course, these whims involve sex with, you know, women. But lust is apparently stronger than mere sexual orientation. As Rookh sees it, homosexuality is the only rational choice for uber-horny men – even if they’d rather be boning women.
Since sex is so scarce and difficult to acquire in a heterosexual context, it simply makes no sense for an Anglo-American male with priapic urges to remain heterosexual – hence the self-selection of hyper-sexualized males towards homosexual lifestyles, not to mention the hyper-sexualized nature of homosexuality itself.
Is this all a prelude to a touching coming-out announcement by our man Rookh?
No such luck. It’s actually an excuse for, yes, more feminism-bashing. For it is the evil feminists who, in Rookh’s world, have been encouraging the “female sexual ostracism” of poor suffering straight men:
As we all know, women seek to control men by limiting sexual supply, be it representational (pornography) or actual (prostitution) – and that feminism is, essentially, an institution created for that purpose.
And so, in Rookh’s world,
homosexuality has advanced in lock-step with feminism. … [F]eminism – by assailing marital monogamy and allowing women to indulge their primordial attraction to dangerous thugs, moronic bullies and swaggering plutocrats – produced an unwanted ‘rump’ of educated, economically stable but sexually disenfranchised males. Given that gay males are disproportionately intelligent, solvent and educated, it is fairly obvious that members of this group have opted for homosexuality as a means of escaping the living death of involuntary celibacy, that the two phenomena are in fact closely related and that feminism is directly responsible for the advancement of homosexuality across the Anglosphere.
Feminism, by encouraging women to say “no” when they don’t actually want to have sex, may have created modern homosexuality, in Rookh’s view. But that doesn’t mean that feminists actually like gay dudes. No. Ick!
[T]he vast majority of Anglo females detest gay men as vehemently as they hate men in general. … the real link between pan-Anglosphere feminism and homosexuality [is that] the latter is a reaction to the former, which hates it with boundless counter-reactionary zeal.
Yeah, seems to me that the only one here who really “detest[s] gay men” is, well, Rookh, so much so that he’s decided to completely erase gay male sexuality – to put “gay” in scare quotes – in order to give himself another opportunity to run down feminists and women in general.
Now, human sexuality is a weird, messy, complicated, wonderful thing. It may well be that some bisexual men end up having sex with men more often than with women because they find it easier to find male sex partners for casual sex. But guys who are thoroughly gay – who would score a 6 on the famous Kinsey scale – don’t actually want to have sex with women. They really don’t. Drop a beautiful, eligible, horny (straight or mostly straight) woman in the midst of a bunch of Kinsey 6 guys, and this is what you get:
Court’s free!
@Ami, I’m not sure I can handle his answer to that question without an extended session of headdesking.
I don’t know this for sure (limited data set), but if a girl is at least at some low threshold of attractiveness, I can really get smitten by personality. There are probably some views that just wouldn’t work out (very religious, perhaps, or some other things), but I could easily imagine dating anybody who I would be able to be friends with. *shrug* Time will tell, I suppose.
@sarahejones:
Aww, you could take a few brain cells of loss. 😛 So come on, MRAL, what makes up your ideal girl? Or what is the baseline for a girl you would date?
Comic store sounds like a good idea. I’m finished my class on Wednesday, so there’s won’t be any repeats of last time. Really sorry about that, by the way.
I have Asperger’s, dude. Can’t make eye contact most of the time. I have friends.
Sarahejones proves my point. 5’1 short girl, and has still dated men on an above-average curve. Can you imagine how tall women who are 5’4+ want men? Freaks men, that’s who.
MRAL – right after that sentence I wrote: “Yes, you qualify as more masculine when you are taller and this sucks…but the bigger problem is how much of a jerk you are about being short.” I will acknowledge that the construction of masculinity is messed up in our culture and hurts people, men and women alike. The whole ‘trying to be manly’ thing is incredibly difficult, from what I can see. And I disagree with those feminists who appeal to the ‘real men don’t beat women up’ fallacy. No – it’s that worthwhile human beings don’t beat up other human beings. The other one is catchier but reinscribes some seriously problematic crap. Grr.
MRAL: My partner who is a woman is 5 feet tall.
I’d like to challenge you–do you think it is possible that you could make six posts, just six, that do NOT mention your personal problems, the Greek system, the terrible oppression you suffer, or that disagree with somebody or cuss them out for well being another human being.
Could you make six posts not even necessarily in a row though it might be nice to try it where you say, compliment somebody or ask them a question about their lives or what they are experts in or talk with them about something, anything, that is not you/your life. I posted a lot about GRRM’s Game of Thrones a while back–and I very much enjoyed the quality of the adaptation (above and beyond Sean Bean)–we could talk about the books or the adaptation or both. I have my copy of Dances with Dragons reserved for July 12. You had lovely posts about your day swimming–more of that would be nifty.
See what happens, you never know, you might like it.
Kirby, ideal woman? I don’t even think about that. I’ll cross that bridge when I can get any woman.
Kirby – “don’t know this for sure (limited data set), but if a girl is at least at some low threshold of attractiveness, I can really get smitten by personality.”
My experience has been the same with men.
MRAL, I dated a man who was exactly your height. So how does that prove your point? And you have certainly spent enough time thinking about the evil of women. Surely that means you also possess an ideal.
MRAL – “Can you imagine how tall women who are 5’4+ want men? Freaks men, that’s who.”
My post doesn’t count?
Lyn–I agree that many feminists are well aware of the ways in which the kyriarchal system oppresses men–differently, and with different rewards, but definitely hegemonic masculinity as an idea is something few men live up to (ditto hegemonic femininity).
The problem is, MRAL doesn’t seem to care about how it hurts other men–only him. In fact, he wants to inhabit the space of hegemonic masculinity. He talks about heightism, but I bet he didn’t even know about the National Organization for Short Statured People (which I found when researching heightism), and I bet he doesn’t care about people who are much shorter than he is and have to deal with all that entails (in fact, he’s too tall to join).
That’s why my challenge above–which I’m sure he’ll ignore–to see if he can actually force himself not just to focus on his own plight, but to interact with people as, well, a person.
How about starting with friends? Friends are fun.
Speaking as someone who pretty much never makes eye contact, looking people directly in the face isn’t necessary.
I was thinking about the T is a physical construct thing while I was biking xD I guess it makes sense that he’d think it was, since he seems to think that somebody is ONLY gay if they are a man who has been anally penetrated… and that a lesbian has to have had sex with a woman, and being bi means you’ve had sex with both (by that logic, I’m not bi, even tho.. y’know.. I am xD ) otherwise hetero is default (you don’t need to have had sex with a woman or a man to know that you’re hetero… )… so in his mind ppl are trans only if they’ve had the surgery and stuff xD (even tho many dun even get surgery, and some dun even take hormones, and trans doesn’t even mean only transsexual) xD
@ithiliana: Yup, I always laugh at the height complaints. As I stated, I’m 5’1″. Cry me a river.
@MRAL I’ll cross that bridge when I can get any woman.
But you don’t WANT *any* woman xD You said that yourself. xD
(and what makes you think you can’t get any? o: What have you tried?)
Kirby, I think you’ll find that MRAL’s desires are as abstract as his hatreds, for the same reason: no actual experience with women.
@MRAL You’re taking to a woman your height xD how tall do you think I want my men? You KEEP ACTING like women are theoretical objects when we’re right here xD
So tell me plz 😀
So MRAL, what ARE you looking for in a girl? xD
And if you answer again that you don’t care
then surely you try to pick up/hit on/chat up EVERY girl you meet right? Regardless of nething about them? :3
“I’ll cross that bridge when I can get any woman.”
Note: women aren’t things.
@ithiliana
You’re totally right. I just thought I’d point it out anyway…I got annoyed at the totally ignoring what I actually said in that post thing 🙂 I should be used to it from MRAs by now but it’s still freaking irritating.
ideal woman:
– not fat
– normal-looking
– friendly
– likes video games
– fun to talk to
– big tits
@Johnny abstract is abs the right word xD I keep trying to think of it and that’s it! 😀 Like before when he kept going on and on and on about how wonderful women’s lives must be and how much better they are, and etc etc.. he admitted when I asked him, that he doesn’t actually know at all what it’s like with individual women b/c they’re individuals and he can’t know their lives xD
He always “knows” these things, but he can’t explain how he knows them or even what it would be like if they’re all true xD
what’s considered not fat? o_O
Ithiliana, I think that I went like a whole week without talking about myself just now. I really don’t know when I started talking about myself in this thread either, now that I think about it. I was trying not to. It seems to just seep in.
MRAL, how do you dress?
Just wondering.
