#Homosociality
Sexual assault is a normalised part of male homosociality, and sexually charged violence against the least masculine or lowest status people in all-male groups and spaces is part of how men teach each other to uphold rape culture.

latent homosexuality, no. sexual attraction to women + inability to see them as real people + basic human need for love that ends up taking the form of this like libidinally-tinged homosociality, yes
very weird seeing some women speculate that at the heart of misogyny is some kind of latent homosexuality. i'm sorry but like you have to come to terms with the fact that some categorically hetero men truly emphatically subscribe to the idea that violence against women is the natural order of things

I think a lot about how one of the things that the cultural upheaval of the 1960s produced in the United States was a HUGE decline in compulsory homosociality, with tremendous beneficial results.
Here in the UK the old tradition of single-sex boarding schools for the children of the wealthy actively produces a culture of boys who are desperate for feminine attention but have no idea how to interact with women or see them as anything other than objects of desire. Those boys end up in power.

I'll end this thread with an exercise for the reader.

What kind of experience do you imagine trans women have with "male homosociality"?

Do you think it is one of acceptance?

"grinda sure keeps using the word homosociality" it's a really good word that quickly explains what the fuck is wrong with a lot of people

Thinking again about how much I love John Carpenter's CHRISTINE, an easy top 3 entry in his filmography. What a weirdly prescient and insightful film about homosociality, masculinity, and the paradoxical violent power and extreme fragility of the self.

The thing about the homoerotic overtones in male homosociality is that it is, first and foremost, a gender-policing mechanism.

Marilyn Frye's quotation on heterosexual men being first and foremost "man-loving" is entirely true, but that doesn't mean that all men are in a happy brotherhood.

[chiming in with right wingers] we gotta …. we gotta bring back completely regular homosociality. [doing a different voice] yeah just normal fellas stuff.

As defined by the author, homosociality is the social bond and interaction between members of the same sex, though it is not “necessarily” romantic or sexual in nature. #mobydick #texdaw #texdawsmobydick #theriseoftheundead #booksky #homosociality

OMG, Erin! You mean to tell me that male homosociality is in part rooted in misogynistic rituals of degradation and violence, and men encourage each other to dehumanize women and bash queers?!

That can't be, that would mean the trannies and feminists who have been talking about this were right!
I think the male loneliness take is ultimately that incels are not, like, common! They are scary outliers!

The large demographic shift to the right isn’t driven by sad, wet nerds desperate for hugs, but by the would-be patriarchs of the world.

To be caught lacking, to be insufficiently patriarchal and heterosexual in the precise, dominant, violent way that is deemed acceptable, is to invite that violence upon yourself.

Many see male homosociality as quintessentially gay. It's not---it's incredibly straight, and incredibly cis.

Sadly a lot of guys conflate homosociality with homosexuality, and that is definitely learned behaviour.

Male homosociality thus often involves rehearsing and enacting this violence, this degradation and demeanment on---women, yes, naturally. Treating women as tokens and conquests and trophies and never as people. To honor and love a woman as one loves a brother is to demean oneself, naturally.

But men will also enact this violence on other men. Specifically, the men they perceive as falling short of these ideals of manhood, men who do not participate in these rituals of violence adequately.

Male homosociality, while sometimes paradoxically homoerotic, is also explicitly homophobic.
