On Gay Male Privilege, I never thought I would see the day.

TL:DR (It is very long) A "brown" gay man is going on and on about how "privileged" gay men are. I haven't finished reading it as it was quite painful. But his main points are 1: that women aren't 'welcome' in gay bars. And that 2: there are a considerable amount of extremely catty gay men on our tv's that are overly critical of how female celebrities look. And that 3: gay men think they can get away with sexually harassing women.

1: Why do they want to be there in the first place? Because they are looking to have their cake and eat it too. To dance with attractive but 'harmless' men.

2: So? Oh no someone said something not nice to a celebrity what ever will we do.

3: Ok so this is an issue, but it comes from how the most women treat gay men. Like other women, harmless castrated men.

/start rant Wow so a group of people who are one of the last unprotected minorities to be discriminatory against, for example in Delaware where a person can be fired for being gay, are privileged over women. People who are allowed to marry in less states then it is legal to marry your second cousin. People that are blamed by the WBC for all tragic events. People whose derogatory statement has the darkest background I can think of, faggot is a bundle of sticks and the reason gay men are called that is when witches were burned gay men would not be tied to a stake because they didn't even deserve that they were burned among all the other faggots.

FFS there are alot of people who think that this can be CURED as in there is something wrong with them like they have a disease. When who you are is treated as a DISEASE you are not fucking privileged. I know alot of gay men associate with feminism for lord know what reason, my best friend NOT being among them, but to buy that far into their indoctrination to believe that your culture is privileged above women's, WOW.

I was sent to this article by Moviebob (from escapist), and while I'm used to him licking the bootheel of feminism this article threw me for a loop. Then he goes on about Geek privilege, in which he makes it so Steve Urkel(family matters for those living under a rock during that time) was just trying to get into that one girls pants. Something I am so sick of hearing reducing Men's desires for love and affection into something as "dirty" as just wanting to get laid. And his and Jim Sterling's latest crusade to make sure that no woman is ever questioned or insulted anywhere for any reason. That it couldn't be that there are some geeks or nerds out there that have spent their entire lives being ignored ad mistreated by the opposite gender(like someone feigning interest in a geek because it would be oh so funny to get their hopes up), and may have developed a bit of a complex? But not representative of geek culture as a whole. And why these particular members of geek culture are trying to make sure the women at comic con are actual geeks and not the same kind of person doing this again.

/end incoherent rant for now

I apologize for anything I have said in this post but those two articles rubbed me all kinds of the wrong way.

If you take sex out of the equation, women and men are basically alike as friends, in a man's view - except that the women are a bit weird, and many of them hate us to various degrees. All things considered, you're generally better off having male friends.

Gay men have taken sex with women out of the equation, and look what happened.
