Gay men don't stand up for women or defend them.
They hate women just as much as straight men hate women.
I see it all the time, women standing up for trans women and gay men. I have lurked around the gay men Subreddits, and they hate when women go to gay bars yet have no problem invading female spaces.
The shit I have seen them write about women on these subreddits is disturbing and goes to show how much they hate women. I wish I would've screenshotted the text, but I'm sure you have an idea of what kind of shit they say.
Another thing, gay men love to brag about how they fucked a straight man or “stole” a woman's boyfriend. It's all over social media, from songs to forums. The reality is that no straight man who is straight sleeps with another man. They fail to realize that. They slept with a man who is bisexual.
I don't care if women on FDS complain about how they want no homophobia posts. You can keep living with your eyes closed, but the fact is, gay men have 0 problems and no hesitation in mentioning all the things they hate about women.
No one says a thing if gay men openly say they hate women, but if women say they don't like gay men, people will attack them.
hmm, it's more of a case by case basis. However we should not immediately assume all gay men are "allies" to women, they can be just as misogynistic as straight men.
The FDS concept of HV can apply to all--men and women, straight, gay or otherwise. I belive there are probably some HVGMs (High Value Gay Men) out there, just as there are HVMs (which, obviously FDS ladies are seeking to sort from the chaff of LV and NV men). We also refer to some women as LV, or simple "pickmes".
I've met gay men who are appalled by the current state of "dating" in the gay community who hate that they can't have dinner with a man without being pressured to have sex with him.
