Josh Hawley thinks men watch porn “because their masculinity is being criticized."

Porn — that great masculine self-esteem booster — in which “average penis size” is a niche fetish.

Ron Jeremy is basically the Mother Teresa of male empowerment amirite

Lemme break it down for you:

Josh Hawley’s wife told him she faked it, struggles with ED, and this is all just his preemptive strike to defend himself when she inevitably finds his stash of Latino twinks in the folder labeled “Jesus hates trans illegals.”

Call it a hunch.

I had a Josh Hawley-type relative [super religious, married to a woman, homophobic AF, etc.] ask me to fix his computer.

Cleaning his files, I opened a folder titled “Dicks Pics,” thinking it was the Grateful Dead — alas, reader, it was… not.

I’m familiar with the genre. 💅🏽

1) it was a joke
2) it wasn’t even the main joke
3) obviously not all homophobes are secretly gay
4) however, many homophobes are secretly gay
5) I’m speaking from anecdotal experience (my father)
6) see also:

I had a queer cousin kill himself after his fundie parents put him into “jesus conversion therapy,” and my own kid is trans.

So I’ll mock Josh Hawley’s bigoted, dangerous, hateful nonsense with every last breath I’ve got.

I’m intimately familiar with these hypocrites.

1) Homophobia is a real issue.
2) Many — not all — hyper religious, homophobic bigots wrestle with repressed queer desire and self-hate.

Those statements aren’t inconsistent.

But those types are dangerous because they seek to harm OTHERS for what they hate about themselves.

Here’s another one: I have a trans relative whose super Christian homophobic father caught her wearing girls’ clothes as a kid.

So what did he do? He raped her. For, you know, Jesus.

No, I’m not “generalizing for jokes.”
I’m furious about the damage these hypocrites inflict.

I never talk about my childhood on here, for (now) obvious reasons. Let’s just say it wasn’t enjoyable or a childhood.

But it taught me a lot about how speaking my truth is healthy and necessary for survival.

Anyway, I’m muting this now because I’ve said my piece.
