Oppose and fear are not synonymous.
- mrtesthah 11mo agoIn this situation, straight mens' fear is specifically from their insecurity about their own masculinity.
- gigatree 11mo agoWould you say the same thing about women’s fear of being ogled in an enclosed space while naked?
- mrtesthah 11mo agoOgling for women carries with it the implied risk of rape due to natural differences in physical strength, and women experience rape at a much greater rate than men, so that threat would have higher salience than any equivalent gender-based insecurity.
- gigatree 11mo agoAt a greater reported rate than men, and even if true it doesn’t take away from the fact that men are still very much victims of rape. So, no, they’re not just worried about it because of “insecurity of their masculinity”.
- mrtesthah 11mo agoOk, so the facts are wrong because you say they are. Got it.
