Most gay men are as sexist in their thinking as are heterosexuals. Their patriarchal thinking leads them to construct paradigms of desirable sexual behaviour that is similar to that of patriarchal straight men.

A thousand times yes. And they are even worse about being privilege deniers when you call them out for sexist shit.

That’s cool, I didn’t know Bell Hooks knew “Most Gay Men”. I agree that I have meet many sexist gay identified men, but are we really going to have a constructive dialogue about the intersectionality of the patriarchy and homophobia and how we are being oppressed by the same social constructs and paradigms by blanketing an entire group as sexist.

What if I said most feminists are racist and transphobic, its true of some but not all. It would be a terrible way to start a conversation about the exclusionary practicies of past and current waves…..

Also this post is not intended to start an oppression Olympics and I will not entertain any replies about how one group is more oppressed than the other.
