just an observation, but ive noticed that there’s a certain kind of conservative straight woman whose politics seem to be motivated primarily by an animus towards gay and effeminate men, and i think thats worth further examination

like, a lot of these women seem to have definitions of masculinity that are both totally unexamined and impossibly rigid. the way they go on about the “crisis” of masculinity in the modern age makes them sound like bizarre mirror versions of incels. they represent a strange strain of politics
