Why is Male gayness "worse" than Female Gayness

[Double A]

I think it boils down to... men are ugly. :|

My fellow brony is correct, us men look much worse.

Also, it's probably because when some guys think gay sex, they may think they're gonna get raped in the rectum. Borking two chicks would be a lot more fun than sweaty gay sex.

This, pretty much.

Women in media, and thus, in the public eye, are so sexualized that women are seen as inherently attractive.

Meanwhile, men are not. Just compare the number of unattractive or out of shape, yet successful male actors to similar female actresses. Not to mention the whole "Men are dumb, boorish perverts" fad going around. (Hell, just look at all the "Men are just perverts" responses in this very thread.) Men are just not seen as inherently attractive, no matter how many hunks get on the covers of magazines.

In short, sexism.

 

[Sporky111]

Because as a male-dominated culture, gay men are seen as a threat to a straight guy's masculinity. And probably because a lot of people think that gay sex is something dirty and disgusting.

Men are perverts. Thats why. Two girls to them is appealing because they foolishly think they could one day be involved perhaps. Maybe some realize they cant but like to see.

Right, but you shouldn't forget that women are also most often equally perverted, females just hide it better I suppose, but still ain't innocent. No, the issue here is that even though we want an equal society, men still have more influense, more power, so what men says and thinks usually comes first. So yeah that would be my answer, I suppose it goes like tha saying "the victor makes history".

Now I might sound like a sexist jerk, but that's very far from the truth, I'm a submissive guy and I'd not mind if the world was run by women, so don't hate me plz D:

I would be just as angry if women were the dominant sex. I want equallity, and sometimes its the women I have to fight. (Men may be in power, but men in general have it harder too compaired to women, mostly due to gender roles)
This is why I am disinclined towards feminists, which too often seems to desire a power shift, not balance.

 

[blankedboy]

Because lesbians.

No man needs this question answered.

Lesbians are awesome, gay men are icky. It's not fair, certainly, but it's how things are.

Uh, no. That's either a bullshitty, bigoted double standard or plain old trolling.

You're honestly going to pretend you don't find lesbians attractive?

I suppose it's theoretically possible that there exists men who don't. I mean, there's someone for everything; I'm sure there's people out there who hate oxygen. But you'd be in the minority.

As for the double standard; why yes, yes it is a double standard. I think you mixed up my understanding of it with my supporting of it. Namely, that I don't. Support it, that is.

I didn't mean to imply that my explanation was some kind of universal truth. It's just the perception of the majority.

Derp, I'm gay. Yes I am going to legitimately say that I don't find lesbians attractive.
But thanks for the clarification, you came off as a massive douche at first xD

Personally I do not find watching exclusively homosexual relations in any way attractive be it two lesbians or two gays.

Also for why it is considered more acceptable to be lesbian I am going to go along and say the act seems more natural. Most acts performed in lesbian sex can be performed back in straight sex and there is still a focus on female penetration, it gives men a sense that lesbians are still into that and as we know the whole idea behind porn etc is putting over the persona that "anyone has got a chance."

Whereas the most assumed part of gay sex being anal is considered unnatural to men, it is not something for the most part they undergo, and while yes there are men who enjoy pegging etc it is still not considered normal or natural making it for alot of people being gay seem mutually exclusive.

 

[Marudas]

To be honest, I think its because the majority of people that flip out about the topic of homosexuality are obnoxiously loud straight males. Its more a matter of who is screaming stupidity the loudest.

Insecurity. Its whats for dinner.

(Little side note here, I am a Straight Male, I simply do not find homosexuality objectionable. Now, you wouldn't find me standing in line to view it, between men or women, but then you wouldn't find me queuing for many things.)

 

[internetzealot1]

There are certain qualities about humans that are just are, without having any sort of reason behind them. Thinking that two hairy men rolling around trying to stick their dicks in each other is gross is one of them.

 

[Saelune]

The only thing I have against gay men, as opposed to lesbians, and this is by no means levelled at all gay men...Is campness. I've known people their entire lives, who have spoken the same as any other guy, but as soon as they come out of the closet will suddenly develop a slight lisp, speak in higher pitches, change the way they stand etc...basically, live up to the traditional media stereotype of gay men (eg. Big Gay Al from South Park). This is much more rarely the case for women, possibly because the media stereotype for lesbian is perhaps less desirable to be associated with (eg. heavyset rugby player). In contrast to the guys I've known who have come out as gay, girls have managed to do so without changing their appearance and personality in huge ways.

EDIT: Just like to pre-emptively clarify, I have no problem with people who have always been camp. That's your personality, and you shouldn't change it for anyone. My issue is with people who are not camp for 20 years, then suddenly become camp, because either they've been faking for 20 years, or they're planning to fake for the next 20.

I actually partly blame other gays for that. I was watching some new show about dating and it featured a very unstereotpyical gay man. EVERYONE (mostly gay men) were saying how he was not gay because he was not stereotypical and it sickened me. I also am no a fan of the general LGBT "culture" since I think its very fake and crappy. Being somone who is LGBT I get surrounded by it, and most of it just makes me feel out of place. (Im not even without stereotypes myself, I just dont fit in with shallow people who love crappy music)

Oh, snap.

Guess I kind of forgot about that little demographic when I was making generalisations.

It could've been worse though; I could've assumed you were gay because of your MLP avatar.

 

[Johnny Impact]

Because a lot of media panders to straight males and they think lesbians are hot while gay men are gross and possibly intimidating. Maybe I'm oversimplifying it, but that strikes me as the obvious answer.

Ockham's Razor. I agree. Gay men make straight men question their own sexuality -- which is something they'd rather die than do.

I personally have never understood the "lesbians are hot" thing; I've seen some I would have paid money not to.

 

[Volkov]

Same reason female tears generally attract support, and male tears - repulsion. (And yes, there are exceptions that decide nothing.) In other words: general automatic responses and reactions, partially constructed socially and partially biologically.

For example: there have been studies, that showed that both gay and straight women are more likely to be aroused by the opposite (for gay) and same (for straight) sex, versus gay men tend to ONLY be aroused by men, while straight men tend to only be aroused by women. To summarize: women are more likely to be bisexual (i.e., be aroused by both sexes). I don't remember where the study was published, but I could probably dig that up if you want me to. In any case: as a consequence of this, it would make sense that, biologically, a gay woman wouldn't repulse a man, since he, biologically, still feels he might be able to get some (and isn't 100% wrong, to be honest), while a gay man doesn't evoke that reaction in straight women.

You are now officially my heroine.

 

[Yokai]

SwimmingRock basically summed it up. Media targets (average American male); (average American male) finds lesbians arousing while gay men confuse him.

 

[brunothepig]

Others have hit the nail on the head. A variety of factors, lesbians are more aesthetically pleasing (I know women who don't want to see two guys going at it, I don't think I know any men who don't want to see two women going at it). Men seem to be intimidated by gay men, my dad is a little bit, double standards, homophobia is far more focused on men etc.

 

[hyzaku]

I'd have to agree with the "men are in charge" angle. Straight men really don't want to see two guys playing horizontal hokey-pokey. Two women, however, is twice the number of women most men can ever hope to see naked in person (at the same time at least), so that is definitely a "good thing."

You look at the other side of the coin and you find strangely similar ideas however. I've met/known plenty of straight women who, despite generally being less disgusted by the idea (of homosexuality among their own sex), do not want to see two women rocking the bed. Yet many of these same women agree that two guys together is totally hot (see yaoi fangirls).

There certainly seems to be something of a base appeal about the idea of two members of the opposite sex having sex that is appealing to both sexes. The double standard must obviously stem from the same "male dominant societal view" that nearly all gender double standards stem from.
