I play tit for tat. <br /><br />If you want to engage me in a respectful argument about whether what I wrote was objectively homophobic, don't go labelling it "straight-out hate speech."<br /><br />If you want to attack my character and motives, I will respond in kind.Sandwichmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11159060882083015637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-935084421323732032016-10-15T19:53:41.927-04:002016-10-15T19:53:41.927-04:00Rapepublican troll?
I've accused you of homo...Rapepublican troll? <br /><br />I've accused you of homophobic hate speech and discussed toxic masculinity, homophobic & misogynistic bluster as a cover for homosexuality, pointed out that many men talk and act like Trump and that most other men are either their cheerleaders or gutless bystanders, and then have the hypocrisy to routinely disbelieve women when they commplain about it.<br /><br />And you call me a Rapepublican troll?<br /><br />You need to have a word with that overly-defensive ego of yours. It's embarrassing you.APnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-87691031349471392812016-10-15T11:40:59.974-04:002016-10-15T11:40:59.974-04:00AP, no, you are wrong.

I am suggesting that he has adopted <i>mannerisms</i> that he compensates for by his wanton displays of predatory misogyny. <br /><br />When I wrote this post I was hyper aware of the potential appearance of homophobia. I realized there it would be impossible to avoid somebody construing what I am saying as homophobic. There is a point at which sensitivity shades over into self-censorship. I would prefer to err on the side of open and free discussion.<br /><br />Trump's alleged assaults were no more "in private" than is his braggadocio "locker room talk." Privacy is not a quantitative fact. It is a social agreement. Two strangers, alone on a subway platform. are not "in private."Sandwichmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11159060882083015637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-44885883356010845072016-10-15T07:11:44.906-04:002016-10-15T07:11:44.906-04:00This is straight-up homophobic hate speech.
The ...This is straight-up homophobic hate speech. <br /><br />The psychological phenomenon you're relying on is real but the terms you use to describe it are completely unacceptable and its application in this case very implausible. Toxic masculinity used to cover up hidden homosexuality is a public display for the benefit of other men; assaulting women in private and then denying it offers no gain.<br /><br />This is just another form of denial. Anything rather than admit that a lot of men talk and act like Trump and very few other men confront them about it. Or believe their victims when they complain about it.APnoreply@blogger.com
