Hmm. If that happens, how awful. But, really? A bunch of straight women come up to you in bars and grab your junk and shake it around and then say, "But, you're gay! What do you care?"

I don't doubt that happens. I don't have many gay male friends but I'm regularly in gay bars because most of my friends are lesbians. They don't molest gay men (nor do I) but I'm sure that happens too. But that doesn't take away my experience of regular tit-grabs. I wear low-cut shirts a lot and I've had gay guys…

Wait, what? He's jealous that women can have babies, but thinks vaginas are nasty?

That's awful. I've only known one lesbian who said similar things like, "I hate even the idea of a penis"! People laughed at that but I found it rude. Obviously, if you're gay or lesbian you prefer the sexual parts of your own sex. There is no need to insult the parts of the opposite sex.

I've got a lot of brilliant, witty gay friends, but there's one man in particular that I am no longer friends with. We were at an NYC theatre party, and all of a sudden he grabbed my breast in front of a large crowd of people and started laughing. I quickly got loud and asked what he thought he was doing. He kept…

Clearly, you are meeting the wrong straight women to be friends with, and you have the ability to say no, and ask them not to do that, just as the woman in the story tried to explain why the guy shouldn't slap her ass. Bad behavior from a straight woman does not justify misogyny towards them or other women.

This was my grad school! The head of the History Department quite openly hated women, and as much as he could, kept us out of his classes. Thankfully, I found another really great professor to study with, but it was infuriating to know that my education was being derailed by someone who thought he was entitled to…

Thank you so much for writing this and for being so honest and thorough. My first experience with this was in college with a professor who casually told me that he hated women. He said it like, "oh, don't take it personally, I just hate all women". Oh really?

This is misogynistic as well. You've taken an article about the problems of women and you've tacked on, "but what about the poor menz"?
What you say is true, but this is not the place or that discussion.
Thank you for proving the bloggers point.

my roommate is gay and is misogynistic to the point of comedy - for a while I thought he was actually making fun of gay men who are. he's said outright that he loathes women because he's jealous they can have babies and he can't. he's said multiple times that vaginas are the nastiest things on the planet. the things…

Thank you for writing this.
