After coming out of the closet the second time around, I quickly began see that the gay mans church was the gym. At the same time I began to realize this, I also started to see the underlying misogyny thats STILL virally unleashing itself each day in our churches and communities and how its affected and nearly destroyed me as a male. This article spells out so pristinely WHY all this is. GREAT share James Guay Im not a feminist JUST because I love women and desire equality for them (women still make an average of 23% less doing the same job that a male does in 2014) Im a feminist because I dont want straight and queer little boys and girls of the next generation to question their validity as breathing creatures based off their genitalia. I also dont want them to remain in the same position as every generation before us, thinking god established that perverted gender hierarchy. ...The “Real Man” narrative (ideal) treats queer men as less than 100% male – and can even lead to misgendering queer men by implying that they are “like women.” In a patriarchal society, manhood is held to such a premium that many men will feel driven to overcompensate if their masculinity is questioned or threatened. This can sometimes, for example, look like an intense weight-lifting habit. And do you know which group of men spends the most money on fitness? You guessed it: Gay men. #iwearbrasonmydayoff #downwithpatriarchy #downwithmisogyny #downwithgenderhierarchy #downwiththewhitemansgod
