Anonymous asked:

I wonder how close the closest universe is where cis gay men are the signature LGBT group most hated by radfems. Presumably this would be a universe where fujoshi had less cultural impact and the media trope of the straight woman who's sad her love interest turned out to be gay metastasized instead of falling out of favor.

kontextmaschine:

I think it would have to do with how much of the ‘90s culture was telling women they’d made it, and how much of that was really gay men holding themselves up as models for straight women to follow in order to do it right.
Like, the Sex and the City writing staff was largely gay men (cis, natch), and when you look back at it you realize how much the girlfriends were really being plotted and written as gay men about women’s topics – or not even that, about relationships with men
