Why aren't more gay men supportive of men's issues then though

This is why MHRAs should work with gay/bi/non-straight men as much as possible.

Radfems of the 70s also hated gay liberation - they saw it as patriarchal and demanding gay men be elevated to the same position as straight men (i.e. above women).

Another interesting thing that was pointed in this study was that seems to be men's bias also seems to be motivated by their sexual interest.

Durham et al. (205) found that 5 year old boys (who obviously have no romantic or sexual interest in girls or women) tend to have in-group bias towards males whereas adullt males have an out-group bias towards females.

Rudman and Goodwin's (2004) finding was that men with high sexual experience had an in-group bias whereas for those with low sexual experience this was not present.

I'm straight, but find males to be much better friends than females. And not because of tension from me. I'm genuinely sexually uninterested in 99.9% of females. I feel like that's normal. There's calendar women, then there's homely chicks we don't want holding us down. Once you've paid the opportunity cost of compromise or desperation, you should learn better.

Frankly, it's difficult to be friends with over-entitled hypocrites, of any gender, to say nothing of the female neuroticism, insecurity, projection, etc. Contemporary women have no sense of mutual amicability, and often think they can charm their way into or out of anything. Try holding them responsible for anything, and they give you an attitude, like their life is supposed to be consequence-free, or it's terrorism and rape. I once worked in a hookah bar full of women, and it had to be explained to them I wouldn't simply cover shifts for nothing. Even if a chick has a boyfriend, she considers other men exploitable, via charm alone.

I've tried being just friends with women. Unless there's mutual infatuation, it really doesn't work, unless you are focusing on a common activity, with no implicit sexual tension. They bring sex and charm into it more than we do, because that's their nature, unless conditioned, by business or academia.

Think about it: these days, they actually tend to take the 'dangerous situation' lectures seriously. I remember when they rolled eyes at that, and had fun with the boys. In the 90's, chicks from work or school would come over to play Street Fighter. I don't think they were sexually motivated, or scared of assault, even though there was usually drugs, alcohol, and more than a handful of people there. They were just other bored people, trying not to feel like losers with no friends, on a Friday night. Trying to find weed. That was men and women. Just trying to party. If someone there thinks they're cute, great. If not, still better than staying home.

As I've gotten older, it's like: there are some women I see in public with some frequency, and we exchange shallow pleasantries. I sometimes get the sense of opportunity for more, but only if I pushed for it, and I really don't want to badly enough, usually. But I think it's totally hysterical and retarded a woman can't be in a man's home, without some immature innuendo, or implication, coming from at least one person who hears about it, or sees it. That's socially regressive.

I think gregariousness is often mistaken for sexual interest, by people who are themselves kinda horn dogs, and really projecting. I think that's obnoxious, and actually disrupts friendships.

It's one thing to make a female friend uncomfortable, with constant unwanted advances or lewd comments. A woman is totally justified in calling out or leaving that situation. But imagine being completely cordial and well behaved, and a bunch of immature people in the peanut gallery simply assume the worst? I find that's actually more common, and effectively divides genders.

Who funded this astonishing study?

Something like this happened to me, with my best gay friend.

We were in a rough barrio at the town festivities when he started to get picked on by other guys, I came to his defense, in the blink of an eye what was a me vs. 2 guy dispute turned into a 1 on 10 so fast it was scary. Other friends arrived to try to calm the mood.

Luckily no one got hurt. As time went by that friend stopped talking to me for no apparent reason, a while back we had an argument over my political preferences, right wing, redpill, etc.

Since then I have been told “a gay dude is nobody's friend” and I have no other way to say it is true than with my own experience.

It's not that I hate homosexuals, I just don't want them near me.

Female, very straight, and I love men (a little too much). Some gay friends have actually made me like different attributes in men that I wouldn't have found attractive before, i.e., hairy chests and thick thighs! 😄 I just wanted to let you all know that there are many females out there who do love you for you and nothing else. We have empathy and care. Try and not get caught in these echo chambers. It's concerning that everyone gets placed into USA political camps even when there's a world outside of the US. People are complicated, and everyone may only deserve to be trusted at some point in time or only with certain tasks, but overall, people aren't perfect. I think people's personal history is still traumatic in their present. Women haven't ruled the world on political podiums up until these last few decades. So, some women go full throttle on issues that don't really need it or towards people thats unrelated to the issue. Everyone wants to be the hero, and everyone wants to be the victim at some point. But there has been an unfair balance of violence, rapes and deaths towards women by men that started this whole "war." That doesn't mean we should now hate you all and sharpen those pitch forks becausemen have also been victims. There are certain male issues I think need more attention to the male side rather than just all the attention on the female side, which is male sexual abuse. There is only a dim light shone on your side, but the women's side is on full beam. There are female prostitutes that are addicted to drugs on the streets, getting very little attention and little to no help. Yet no one mentions the straight male addicts at all (or a very low amount to what i have seen) who are selling themselves regardless of their orientation, mostly to older rich men mostly. That hatchet hitchhiker documentary was so sad to me, and yet no one talked about what he went through in his life to make him the insane weirdo that he turned into. How do those issues get missed. I apologise if any man feels unfairly targeted by women's rights. We can't let the gender gap get wider for our children, children's sake. Watch Netflixs Adolescence.
