I asked my followers to send their experiences with sexual assault and Misogyny with gay men and this is what I got.

Women aren’t the only people who are targeted by gay misogyny, dfab trans people are targeted…

‘Gay mysogyny’, bahaha. Half of this shit doesn’t sound like stuff a gay person would be interested in doing, and they all seem unlikely/anecdotal. Sorry, I doubt there’s too many legitimate gay men who are interested in feeling you up, ladies. That isn’t how it works. Sounds more to me like 'a guy I liked is gay so I need to vent my frustrations by submitting bullshit stories’ more than anything. Or the guys doing this were just pretending to be gay to get to you.

Regardless, there’s no such thing as ‘gay mysogyny’, and brief, anonymous stories shared in a 250 character space isn’t proof of it.

Is a man who molests a male child suddenly “gay” because the child he molested is male? Sexual assault has nothing to do with sexuality. 

The idea that women/dfab people were simply sexually frustrated that these men weren’t interested in them (a lot of these women are lesbians) is asinine. 

There was a post about how when little boys playing fps games or games where they compete against people online use “rape”, that they don’t mean it in a sexual way at all.The post said that what they mean when they use the word rape is they dominated that person. Rape has nothing to do with sex. It has to do with power,as does sexual assault. Sexual assault is a power play and people who commit sexual assault want to feel that they have power over someone.

And another thing, I (as a woman) don’t give a fuck what you think a gay person would do. Gay people(specifically gay men) are already doing these things. Women and dfab people would like them to fucking stop.

This really does need to stop, it is not okay whatsoever and men/women need to respect others and end sexual assaults… but one thing about this topic that irritates me is that (most of) you people are speaking of gay people in general as if we all grope. You’re suddenly thinking because I’m gay I’m going to sexually assault someone. Especially the homophobic people I see really attacking us and giving us a bad image.

My point here being:
1: all people, STOP the sexual assaults.
2: not every gay man will sexually assault you. I will respect you.
3: if you dare sexually assault someone in anyway possible, you’re disgusting and how dare you.

I can’t stand how many times i put disclaimers on things and people refuse to read them or hear them. This has never been about all gay men. I feel like I said that 3 times in this post alone. 

And like I said, not all, but *most* people are directly targeting gays. This is not the 1st post I’ve seen related to this topic. Here’s my 2nd disclaimer, I can go onto my 3rd as well.

You need to come for them. miss me with that bullshit. This conversation has never been about all gay men. Take that up with the people who ARE implying it’s about all gay men.

What I especially love about Peggy is, in so many books and T.V. shows when we do get a strong female character, we often get the “I’m not like other girls,” superior-sounding speech or the “special snowflake” syndrome. But Peggy has never belittled other women, or thought herself above them, and she treats Angie the waitress and Rose the the telephone operator with nothing but respect and friendliness.

Stop telling kids that they’re too young to know they’re queer but also stop spreading the idea that all queer people know they’re “different” from a very young age. Some people realize they’re queer when they’re five and some people don’t until they’re thirty-five and no one should have to justify their identity at any age.

Never ever cast cis people in the roles of trans women.

ghostofcommunism:

You’re stealing roles from trans women who have struggled for recognition in the performance field for a long time. Stop doing that. Trans women actors need to stop getting thrown under the bus by cis people in the performance field.

trans people taking testosterone need to drink orange juice cause testosterone weakens your immune system!! trans people taking estrogen need to drink milk cause estrogen causes calcium to be absorbed less

If you’re lactose intolerant you can eat nuts and if you’re allergic to oranges, most other fruits have vitamin c. If fruits aren’t an option, there’s also vitamin c supplements.

Good info. Pass it on.

i touched a dick once and it was the scariest thing in my life because it had a really cold head and i don’t know it wasn’t fun

sometimes the ‘i’ and ‘u’ shouldn’t be so close on the keyboard 

ive seen this post umpteen times and ive always thought that if you switched u and i around it wouldn’t make sense like “u touched a” and i literally just realised you meant duck and not dick i swear to god i am the biggest fucking idiot.

It’s not punk to antagonize minimum wage workers.

Like writing shit on bathroom stalls, making messes in grocery and big box stores, trashing hotel rooms, yelling at actual workers about how horrible their capitalist employers are. Stop doing this shit. You are making life harder for those you claim to identify with and want to help.

why can’t there be a boob transfer system for all women?? like, a girl can be like “I have an F cup and I really want to go down a couple of sizes because my back hurts” and a girl with an A cup could be like “Oh could you transfer some of ur boob tissue to me because I’d like to go up a size” and it would be done

do you have any idea how great that would be

ok but imagine if trans boys could donate their boobs to trans girls

there literally was no trial, a grand jury was manipulated into not indicting him by self-admitted false witnesses you’re just fucking lying

Bro: *holds up meat mallet* Do you still need Thor’s hammer?

Me: Mjolnir.

Bro: Gesundheit.

Me: No, Mjolnir.

Bro: What?

Me: Thor’s hammer. It’s called Mjolnir.

Bro: Muy-mya?

Me:….Never mind. No, I don’t need it.

In short - Apparently, my little brother is Darcy Lewis.

People mistake ovulation and menstruation to be the same thing when in fact they aren’t

Ovulation is when the eggs are saying “hello friends I am here”

And menstuation is when the eggs are saying “goodbye friends I am gone”

THIS EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENCE 40x BETTER THAN MY ENTIRE SEVENTH GRADE SEX ED CLASS.

goodbye friends i am gone and I AM TAKING EVERYTHING WITH ME
