Some did so in amazing ways, and other stories were heartbreaking. Thoroughly enjoyed this movie and think it should be viewed by the greater public!Dustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722832868054066037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395333649103772091.post-55196108460492132672008-11-21T08:51:00.000-08:002008-11-21T08:51:00.000-08:00Garfieldbkwrm wrote: Now to play devil's advocate,...Garfieldbkwrm wrote: <I>Now to play devil's advocate, don't forget how much the female population contributes to the derogatory name calling of boys and men.

They frequently are. Women, too, have a stake in keeping things the way they are. Many women want things to stay in their comfy, heteronormative patterns. So they perpetuate homophobia through gay-baiting as much or more than men do.<BR/><BR/>Nothing makes a man more "manly" than to question his manhood. And many women love to rile up a guy by doing just that. <BR/><BR/>We have to keep reminding people that while a feminist might be a woman, a woman isn't necessarily a feminist. Many woman are pretty happy going along with the current hegemonic order, and if it takes a little name-calling to keep things in line, so be it.Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116914186391854834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395333649103772091.post-2405189740835695692008-11-20T20:54:00.000-08:002008-11-20T20:54:00.000-08:00Okay, I think I understand, and it does make sense...Okay, I think I understand, and it does make sense for where the fear of homosexuality comes from, but hate? Well, if one fears something, one usually hates it too. I had not heard of this concept. The one I'm familiar with basically states that being homosexual means one is not reproducing which equates to not contributing to the survival of the species. <BR/>Now to play devil's advocate, don't forget how much the female population contributes to the derogatory name calling of boys and men.

How many of them involve either insulting the boy's mother or insinuating the boy is, in fact, not a boy at all?Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116914186391854834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4395333649103772091.post-1735108140619905822008-11-20T16:04:00.000-08:002008-11-20T16:04:00.000-08:00Thanks for posting this.
