    During high school I was friend with a guy from a village known for their conservative takes. And while this guy certainly wasn’t as left as some of my other friends, he liked to fuck with his football teammates by making the take that gay sex is manly.

    Why? Because it involves two men. Hetero sex wasn’t as manly because it involves a girl, and lesbian sex was as girly as it got. His teammates really didn’t get that he was fucking with their worldview.

    Now he definitely had very idiotic takes himself, but this one always stuck with me because it’s just so easy to troll any insecure right winger with

      As a lesbian I’ve definitely seen plenty of gay interactions that are so gendered that I feel most people of the other gender wouldn’t be comfortable participating, especially conservative straight people. It’s really funny to me how this stereotype of gay people as less gender conforming (while it absolutely carries a lot of truth to it) results in people not even considering that sometimes gay sex is just two really masculine men going at it in a manly way or two women being extremely feminine together.
