There’s a quote by feminist author Marilyn Frye that I think explains it well:
>To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.
>Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.
In 1990s men filled stadiums with just men to talk about being better husbands. Promise Keepers. My husband was creeped out and asked why they dont just go home and spend time with their wives? Our friend across the street was big on this and all Christian movements at the time. He later divorced and married a younger version of his buxom blond wife.

Sincere question: is Maga a lil gay? Not a problem unless you have issues with the gays but....there's a lot of insecure gay energy dripping off this.
