Yeah, a fair point, 'Nesh - male homosexuality is not the polar opposite of misogyny anymore than lesbianism is the polar opposite of femininity. But there is a particular type of annoying, boorish, heterosexual, homophobic misogynist that I would feel justified in engaging in ego-punturing by mocking their self-proclaimed sexuality, which is what I was trying to say there, albeit clumsily. And indeed fair play to ya for pointing out that clumsiness, and I can appreciate how the assumption that 'gayness' is somehow the opposite of 'machismo' would be particularly galling to yourself.
Incidentally, I would like to apologise, officially, here, to all unemployed people, past and present, on Barbelith and elsewhere, for comparing them to Grace's mother. I now realise that this was a deeply insulting thing to have said, and am sorry for any upset I may have caused with this remark. I appreciate now that Grace's mother is in a category of evil scumminess all her own, second only to her vile offspring, and that to equate unemployed people with this kind of bitchery is a truly hayness act, an act which I pledge, by the Lords of Kobol, never to repeat. Thank you for listening. |
