The world of gay men has s share of misogyny, sexual orientatn today is nsired an nate characteristic by most medil profsnals and social scientists, social preference is learned wh culture ― ’s lerally about how people are socialized.
And he has repeatedly dismissed, mistreated and attacked German Chancellor Angela Merkel ways that seem more personal than term “homosocial” has been around for long a time, but the fluential scholar Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick popularized s e the ’80s, wrg on “male homosocial sire” and specifilly about how anxiety around masculy and around homosexualy fluence . A 2007 Atralian study documented “the homosocial anizatn of men’s heterosexual relatns, ” notg that among some men: Male-male iendships take prry over male-female relatns, and platonic iendships wh women are dangeroly femizg.
But whatever the se, Tmp’s homosocial affectn for Put seems to be unrequed ― which may make Tmp even more bee there’s not a sexual attractn don’t mean ’s not a ep, strong feelg that Tmp has for Put ― one that may ed give him palpatns and have him doodlg late at night. While Tmp has policy differenc wh them, aga, like May and Merkel, his bizarre, on-aga, off-aga meanor toward both men suggts somethg else is gog on as seems most fortable wh men he perceiv as entirely homosocial (whether they actually are or not) and, th, misogynistic ― like Put, the Philipp’ dictatorial Print Rodrigo Duterte, Turkish Print Recep Tayyip Erdoğan ― even Kim Jong Un. But by dog that, they’re makg the joke at the expense of an opprsed mory ― and tappg to overt or latent homophobia their mentary, whether a sober crique or a bg joke, really ought to exame Tmp’s secury about his masculy.
