IN REARCH ON FEMISM AND GAY RIGHTS, A CASE FOR UNY

When you watch or read histori of the Stonewall Rts, ’s fascatg to watch how hard they will generally work to move lbians up to the ont of the story, even though was overwhelmgly gay men who were beg most btally persecuted.

FEMIST GAY-BASHG

Carefully read the -pth stori of how the first Stonewall rt began, and you will disver that at the very begng, at an unrground gay club, durg a police raid a p tried btg a lbian for beg among the other “crimal” homosexuals, and she was somewhat roughed up as they tried to put her to a paddy wagon. And what’s so fascatg about the racism and gay-hate that’s been part of femism for s is that femists and their apologists tomatilly behave as if the were statistil outliers, and therefore “not real femists.

Jt as there were people who joed the Nazi Party (y, I jt went there) who didn’t particularly hate Jews, the misandrist assumptns of 1960s and 1970s femism fell jt as much agast gay men as they do today, if not more so. It always has been, for is an pable ncln of their “Patriarchy” theory (or their new favore word, “tersectnaly”) that not jt gay men, but black men and brown men and “yellow” men often and routely rape and btalize women, or jt lgh at the btaly and accept –for real and not as dark humor or sarsm or irony.

WHY GAY MEN DON’T NEED FEMISM – PART 2: THE TAKEOVER

" Stdrick claims that "misogyny is as unavoidable as rbon dxi, " and that gay men mt do more to challenge January 2014, The Aerogram executive edor Roh Guha wrote an article for Jezebel tailg the "dirty secrets of gay male subculture" -- misogyny beg one of them. In a March 2015 post on the blog genr-agenda, Cambridge stunt Martha Perotto-Wills pots to the ia that gay men often feel entled to offer unsoliced cricism of women's clothg or bodi, what she lls "Perez-Hilton-style genred shamg of women's bodi and fashn/life choic.

GAY RIGHTS MOVEMENT

Rose McGowan attempted to rally support for femism among gay men by optg for the fely more bizarre approach of hurlg a barrage of all-too-faiar Co Black Shamg Language [5] at them: “Gay men are as misogynistic as straight men, if not more so, ” she said. Perhaps the most alarmg of all was McGowan’s claim that she has been a long-time supporter of gay men and their rights, th offerg an sight to the rather cur approach that femists tend to adopt toward their supposed alli. A note to Rose McGowan: beg rmed by an alleged celebry that, que ankly, most gay men like me had never heard of, that she is “really upset” about our lack of enthiasm for her bigoted, anti-male iology that regards gay men as, at bt, token lackeys who ought to be ashamed of our misogynistic ‘rejectn’ of women, is not somethg that will terpt my sleep any time soon.

OPINION: ON GAY MEN AND THE FEMIST MOVEMENT

The fact that she assum that will, speaks more to her narcissism, her staggerg sense of entlement and the supremacist leangs of her chosen iology than do about the gay men she has publicly, and rather ironilly, nmned as “lnal”. Public attacks like the have the benef of alertg many gay men to the fact that femism is one belligerent, foot-stompg Diva they would be well-advised to step as far away om as possible, and proceed to expose her te nature to the world at large. From Everyday Femism:“The gay rights movement has won rights and regnn that largely serve the terts of whe, wealthy cisgenr gay men to the triment of poor queers and queer people of lor, and to the triment of racial and enomic jtice more generally.

Like many gay men, the only thg I n discern that femism has ever done for me is to maner my own human rights movement unr the guise of a purported alliance, and g as a vehicle to promote an anti-male hate movement hell-bent on unrmg the rights and welfare of men and boys – a mographic that clus me – attemptg to rope me to helpg to monize my own mascule inty and, if that weren’t enough, brawashg the more suggtible of my gay brethren to accg our straight brothers of beg rponsible for every problem and jtice the world has ever known.

CONFLICT THEORI: GAY MARRIAG AND FEMISM

It is ltle wonr that as early as 1976, renowned gay rights activist, John Lrson, was already lamentg the fact that femists had bullied their way to the gay rights movement, effectively margalizg the gay men wh , and turng the gay rights movement to what he lled “the fag end of femism. Women we had never seen before would e and liver tiras agast the GLF men; they would say that not only were gay men more sexist or more male chvist than straight men, but men GLF were among the worst of all.

FEMISM, GAY LIBERATN, & U.S. POLICS

They charged that the panel was “elist” and “sexist” (although half of the panelists were women); their ma ostensible grievance was that on a table the hall, provid for leaflets and ee lerature, were pi of Gay newspaper, which they had found a reproductn of a betiful, lh, reclg female nu, pated the style of classic romanticism. It is tertg to note that Lrson believ that one of the ma reasons why femists got away wh -optg the gay rights movement all those years ago, and have enjoyed virtual immuny om cricism for dog so, is bee – like Er Pizzey and her associat – most of the gay men were aaid of them. So would seem that gay men are not really so badly off, and perhaps would be better if they did not vote their energi to repealg sodomy statut and fightg discrimatn, bee the goals if realized would simply give them equaly wh straight men, th objectively creasg the opprsn of women.

Femists prefer gay men, like women, to perceive themselv as perpetual victims, and to st straight men as the villas who are rponsible for everythg they hate about their liv and the world they which they live.

Perhaps the real purpose of creatg Queer Theory was to divert the attentn of gay men away om femist rhetoric the hope that they wouldn’t notice the staggerg homophobia of femism’s most proment and fluential theorists.
