1. El Patriarcado como Raíz de la Misoginia y la Homofobia.
El análisis recurrente en las publicaciones sugiere que la homofobia y la misoginia no son fenómenos aislados, sino productos directos del sistema patriarcal. Este sistema devalúa lo femenino y castiga cualquier desviación de los roles de género y la heterosexualidad normativa, afectando tanto a mujeres como a personas queer.
- Homophobia and misogyny are tied together in patriarchy. Femininity and being attracted to men are the worst possible things you can be, through the supremist lens of patriarchy.
- Yep. Patriarchy and homophobia are twins. Any time there’s a homophobia problem there’s a misogyny problem, and vice versa.
- Being gay is looked at by patriarchy as a huge transgression for this reason. Being trans destroys the underlying patriarchal logic that biology determines one’s role within society, and is thus is a greater transgression. Homophobia and transphobia are both refractions of the baseline misogyny.
- In case anyone doubted it - patriarchy produces misogyny racism and homo/lesbo/transphobia combined.
2. La Existencia Queer como Desafío al Sistema Patriarcal.
Las publicaciones enfatizan que la comunidad LGBTQ+ representa una amenaza existencial para el patriarcado. Al vivir fuera de los roles de género y las normas heterosexuales impuestas, las personas queer demuestran que hay otras formas de vida posibles, socavando así las bases del sistema.
- The queer is an existential threat to the patriarchy. By showing you can live happily outside of their prescribed gender roles, we undermine the entire rotten foundation.
- Our existence as trans and gender diverse people, alongside lesbians, gay men and others, throws a spanner in the works of the patriarchy.
- If queer people exist, then the patriarchy is a flawed paradigm. That is why they are going after the lgbtqia community, especially trans youths.
- Patriarchy and lgbtqia people, especially trans people, are inherently opposed. In patriarchy, birth is destiny. Your role, your status, your purpose. It’s inescapable. So patriarchy gets vengeful when you do escape.
3. La Internalización del Patriarcado en la Comunidad LGBTQ+.
Se discute cómo el patriarcado es tan invasivo que sus dinámicas y prejuicios se replican dentro de la propia comunidad queer. Esto incluye misoginia por parte de hombres gay, la reproducción de roles de género tóxicos en relaciones lésbicas y la exclusión de ciertas identidades.
- Patriarchy is so invasive that the gays emulate the same misogynistic gendered ideals that’s prevalent in the cishet lifestyle.
- This line of thinking actually exposes the unchecked misogyny of a lot of queer men who insist that being queer makes them safer for women. I see this constantly and its something i rail against all the fucking time. The issue is patriarchy and male privilege, yes, even if youre gay/trans/fem.
- Idk what lesbians need to hear this, its still very possible for patriarchy to permeate lesbian relationships. Its incredibly common for two or more women, far from the presence of men, to center masculinity and infantilize femininity. Men / patriarchy, patriarchy is a deep-rooted philosophy.
- Hot take from the lesbian world. There are a multitude of ways in which a lot of the community rebuilds the structure of patriarchy in itself and you cannot point to any one broad group as blameless in it. Instead, how about we all focus on not recreating toxic masculinist relationship dynamics.
4. El Daño del Patriarcado a los Hombres.
Varios comentarios señalan que el patriarcado no solo daña a mujeres y personas queer, sino también a los hombres, incluidos los heterosexuales. El sistema les impone roles rígidos, reprime su expresión emocional y los castiga por no cumplir con un ideal de masculinidad inalcanzable.
- I can relate. I think many people also forget that the patriarchy is also not only harmful to, but is killing, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, men who go against the patriarchal heirarchy?
- Periodic reminder that while it’s true that self-loathing and gender/sexual anxiety goes into it, it’s because nobody is ever straight or manly enough for patriarchy, and nothing to do with them being “actually queer.”.
- The effects of patriarchy are harmful to women and gay men, but many straight men also suffer - a lot just don't realize it.
- Patriarchy has been bad for men too. The lgbtq community has been showing everyone else that a more complete human experience is possible. Men need to help each other embrace their humanity in healthy ways, and learn to develop intimate (non sexual) relationships.
