I am seeing quite a bit of it. These are discussions that need to be had and I think the article does a good and fair job of talking about it, but I think many of the comments are not. I think there is a lot of misogyny amongst gay men, but I'm seeing a whole lot less of "let's discuss the misogyny amongst gay men"…

THANK YOU for saying this! I'm dismayed by the positive reviews. Fist of all, it is such a POORLY WRITTEN piece! vast generalizations, few citations, chasm-sized leaps of logic, reductionist. As thought the author traded the pretensions of his youth for a new feminist-light set.

The oldest and most well-known gay club in my medium-small U.S. city has the same dynamic going on, only it's probably 50% lesbians, 40% gay men, 9.99% straight women, and 0.01% straight men. (The DJ will often do a "scream if you're part of x group" thing, which is how I know the way this breaks down.) I'm a straight…

As a gay man, I've routinely spoken out about sexism within our community. Some of what Rohin writes is spot on; diva worship, unsolicited groping, and the "fear" (read: hatred) of vaginas are all problematic and should rightly be critiqued. However, I can't help but to feel, as another commenter put it, there's a lot…

I don't think they are the same. I'm talking about the person who literally said they hate gay people because one of their gay "friends" was shallow or another person who said they have never met nice lesbians in real life or the person who said they struggle to be friends with gay people. Some gay men are very…

Although I don't agree with every aspect, this a very thoughtful article, but it's really paining me to read these comments. I'm a lesbian, so I've experienced lots of misogyny in my life, and I've also experienced a lot of homophobia. It's great to examine misogyny in the context of gay men, but it's not okay that so…

I'm not reading an article here that explores misogynistic aspects of gay culture—I'm reading an article that indicts gay culture universally as being wholly unwelcoming and hostile to women. That is simply not a defensible position. That may be a rhetorical flourish on the author's part, but it does a disservice to…

They could find dudes to do this for free all day. Dunno about a woman who would be so willing.

NO!!! YOU ARE TAKING PERFORMANCE ENHANCERS! All your success is because of drugs and not because you're really smart!

Ughhh.... Every time there's a post about weddings, he comments section is always overwhelmed with people bragging about how they just went to the courthouse with their best friend and their dog and it was the best decision they ever made in life. Well... good for you. Please realize, that not everyone has the same…

I think a lot of the problem is inappropriate use of statistics. I suspect the wedding costs aren't normally-distributed, so that a small number of people blowing ridiculous amounts of money is skewing the average. Basically, I think it should be a median, not a mean, just like income stats in America.

Wow. I take a week of medical leave and look what happens?

I'd love it if the human race evolved to the point where we no longer grew pubic hair but that's just me.

He must be a PS3 owner, because he has no game.

If your "lovemaking" (my vagina dries up when I hear that phrase) is made less special by condoms, you're doing it wrong. My primary defense of condoms within monogamous relationships is that NOT using them puts the onus of birth control on the woman. Condoms are the only way a man can play an active role in…

Hey, kids! Did you know that if you only have sex with one person there's no chance you'll get an STD? In other news, you can't get pregnant the first time you have sex, and holding an aspirin between your knees is an effective form of contraception.

I have. If you open the reply link in a new window/tab, you can reply, though.

The only thing I can imagine is that they were strung out on something and thought they needed to make holes in order to let the evil spirits out. Which is completely fucked up, but yeah.
