It is interesting that they immediately drag out homophobia as a reason, when homophobia is practically nonexistent in academia and homosexuality is actively promoted.
There a so many practical reasons:
1) You have more time that students with a girlfriend.
2) You are spared many real life issues like pregnancy scares of gf etc.
3) You can always operate in the male thinking domain without attuning yourself to females.
4) Sex is way easier and costs less time to achieve.
5) You are out of the heterosexual male status games.
Historically, academic males have always been overachievers (there are so many of them in Cambridge/UK). The oppressed ones are in the lower classes (which the woke do not care about).

Gay men can have a partner/boyfriend? You still have to worry about STDs and have relationship issues. You still have to "attune" yourself to females in most fields? Casual sex is easier, but meaningful relationships (IMO as a bi man) are tougher to find. And just because you're gay doesn't mean you're out of heterosexual male status games... it's a heterosexual man's world and we're all just living in it.
- alphabettsy 5y ago> homosexuality is actively promoted. Where? How? > 1) You have more time that students with a girlfriend. Gay people still date. > 2) You are spared many real life issues like pregnancy scares of gf etc I guess the issue gay people face aren’t real? STIs don’t exist? Rejection doesn’t happen? Homophobia in the world more broadly doesn’t exist? > 3) Of course because gay people don’t interact women at all. /s I think everyone is aware that being gay is harder for those in lower classes.
- csdvrx 5y ago> 3) You can always operate in the male thinking domain without attuning yourself to females. What it this "male thinking domain" you are talking about? Can you define it? Can you explain what is this attunement thing? I'm genuinely curious. I've never heard about that before.
