As an IBTP certified radical feminist, I can say that some gay men are to be lumped in with those dick measuring capitalist scumbags, and some aren’t. The percentage that understands the problems of patriarchy seems to be higher among gay men than het ones, so that is awesome. There are some scummy gay dudes out there, like the gay guys on America’s Next Top Model or Perez Hilton. I am sure the reason the media embraces them is less than wholesome. Even the most patriarchy affirming gay dude has their safety at risk as a by-product of being perceived as feminine for being gay, so the struggle is a shared one.

“So my question to you is this: what do you think about gay men? Surely they don’t belong with the rest of those dick-measuring, capitalist scumbags?”

In my own experience, although it seems reasonable to assume that a persecuted minority would tend to support other persecuted minorities, this doesn’t tend to be the case. People are very good at recognising injustices committed against them, but there’s no reason why this would make them better at recognising the ones they commit themselves.

It seems to me that few people fit neatly into persecutors and persecuted, most people have some privilege over others than came abuse, while being part of some minority group or other and being mistreated due to it.

Hey 9-2 (and to all other radical feminists), I’ve been reading some of your posts for quite some time now. I’m a gay man who also resents the white-heterosupremacist patriarchy that runs our world. So my question to you is this: what do you think about gay men? Surely they don’t belong with the rest of those dick-measuring, capitalist scumbags? I must say though that I’m getting quite critical of our (gay men’s) increasing role in cultivating/perpetuating materialism among women (especially within the fashion scene). Please reply.

P.S.
Have you heard/seen the Spike Channel’s Manswers series? It’s also full of grotesque material worth vomiting to.

I can’t imagine PB&J being a big draw. To me it’s evocative of all those years as a single mother feeding my kids on a Wal-Mart paycheck. How could anyone feel like a high roller while brushing Wonder bread crumbs off his shirtfront before reaching for his wallet with jammy hands?Well, on second thought, it does sort of add to the schmuckiness of the whole endeavor.

I tried to watch the ‘Too Hotties’ ad, but between laughing uncontrollably whilepuking, I almost asphyxiated, so I didn’t make it to the PBJ and rootbeer part. Sounds like someone knows the true, as opposed to chronological, average age of their target clientele, though.

I might buy one and try it Brian. Do they work for women picking up women?

Really?

A lot of the pickup artist books rely on evo-psych, and offer money back guarantees. When you know someone talks out of both sides of their ass, you’d be foolish to trust in their offer of a moneyback guarantee, though.

Hey, those evo-psych books come with a “find true love or at least get laid” moneyback guarantee.

Really?

Men: not smelling unpleasant is a good first step. I say that as a neutral onlooker.

Also, I kind of think heterosexual men do want to attract women by being attractive, but they have no idea what women find attractive and they are far too frightened to examine their pesky and unattractive male privilege. They are, however, seemingly incredibly moved by evo-psych bullshit about Alphas and Betas and ancient hunter-gatherer protective masculine bullshit that misogynists frequently peddle to insecure, emotionally immature, sex-starved, dudes.

Hey, those evo-psych books come with a “find true love or at least get laid” moneyback guarantee. I ain’t seen an examinin’ male privilege book what does that. It’s just good economic sense.

But otherwise, you’re right about all of that.

Some elderly guys were asked why they went to a particular old fashioned barber and not a hair salon. They explained that they’d be embarassed or uncomfortable asking a woman to clip their nasal hair and ears. I haven’t heard anything about the topless hair salons that were around once. They fizzled out? Plus, an escort who currently offers beauty treatments while naked or was it topless, said it’s very rare for anyone to ask for it. Can’t imagine myself going to those or anywhere else with mirrors, unless… Yes, like other people I’d pay extra for a place with booze, or nitrous oxide like my dentist.
