That's an interesting point.
Ever notice how you never hear about women talking about how they hate lesbians? Or gay guys? I mean, maybe it's happened, but I've never heard about it.
Medved is right. That is why I only work with men to whom I am reasonably attracted. Similarly, I only get on the Hottie Train, car number "Dark Hair, broad shouldered, 5'10 - 6'04, expensive clothes," run "Red headed, big chested, 5'2 - 5'8, high heels only." Maybe I'll see you there!
In fact, it's why I wear a burqua. Because, as we all know, women refuse to be observed by men they don't wish to fuck. Ever. You guys sure are lucky that all those models and actresses and strippers and porn stars and cute girls walking down the street are SO into you!!!
In fact, if I don't want to fuck you, I ... what was the word Hardaway used? Ah yes... HATE you. You need to stop existing. Go talk to god. Maybe he'll either stop you from being so unfuckable or erase your erradicate your desire to fuck any woman who doesn't find you attractive. After three weeks, they'll pronounce you cured.
Oh, and Ben Dover? You're a cutie petutie. Yes you are! Yes you are! Who's the cutie petutie? You are! Dat's right. Roll over so I can scratch your tummy. I don't want to fuck you. That means you're not really a human being, so go fetch. Go on now. Fetch. Good boy. You're so adorable. You didn't even realize that we were talking about homosexuality and not about fat women! Who's da silly wittle puppy? Who's da silly wittle puppy? You are!
Speaking of which, let's have a little contest, shall we? Let's each post naked pictures of ourselves on craigslist -- I won't airbrush out any of my rolls or cottage cheese ... Hell, I'll even post a photo of Rosie O'Donnell's naked body -- and say we're looking for a hot fuck. Let's see who gets that hot sex first, shall we?
In all seriousness, I think the gaze analysis is right. Dan Savage once said that he thought homophobia was an offshoot of misogyny. Specifically, he said he didn't think it would exist without misogyny. He's probably right. On the other hand, some people are under the impression that they're raised when others are lowered.
I can't remember him always being this way. It's not a matter of his dull, antiquated thinking any longer. It's his becoming an unadulterated supercilious twit, and proving it every chance he gets that amazes me. Something must have happened, and now he wants us to pay attention to him while he makes a fool of himself.
Michael: what happened to you? Why don't you simply get it off your chest, and cut the crap.
how fat chicks are angry that most guys are not even remotely attracted to them and it is even more amusing when they say these same guys must be gay for preferring fit/thin women to some cavern beast who smells like old underwear and thinks her pendulous tits and manicure/pedicure are ringing the bell for sexual pleasure. Wrong. When we see your fat asses we know the only bell you hear is the dinner bell and the race to see the happy face at the bottom of your plate.
Don't they think of anything else?
Would you please, at last, go out and try to get laid already? Good luck.
It gets their libido in gear, wanting sex with those cute butts..
If they really want to have their privacy, instALL STALLS, why-oh-why-oh-why do we have to be tempted daily in high school and other weak mentality career locker rooms, with nudity in the locker rooms and no doors on stalls...
all places I have work since becoming a professional have privacy in their locker rooms ...that is a statistic to ponder.
Why, why, privacy for the educated and wealthy?
Does that mean it's OK to have sheep in the locker room?
In collegiate athletics there were gays on my teams, so what. There are gays at my local gy, so what. It is true that, as a heterosexual male, I am no more attracted to gays than I am to obese chicks. Not interested. What I find especially amusing is that fat woman/"bbw's" actually think most guys think their corpulence is sexy. They actually think that their having perfectly coifed hair and a manicure/pedicure are an equitable balance with their fat guts, huge asses, corpulent cottage cheese. Pardon me while I vomit. Oh yeah, I am always attracted to woman who wash themselves with a rag on a stick, have acute body funk, and lack the personal discipline to eat right and engage in moderate exercise.
you're a Salon superduperstar. I wish I could give your letter 52 stars.

Here is my post on his site:
Dear Mr. Medved,
I'll bet you got a lot of letters from women who were angry about your
characterization of fat women. But not
me. I get it. I know thousands of other gals who do too.
You see we have our own versions of gay NBA players or really fat women who
show up naked in locker rooms
for no good reason.
Imagine what it's like for us girls, when at a party or bar some slimy
little mustachioed man with the subtly of a
super size candy bar made of ex-Lax, and the sensitivity and discretion of
Dick Cheney's bird-shot tries to
approach us at a party. Well, it's very upsetting I can tell you. I mean
you know that they have a small (word you won't let me use on your site if
they have one that even works at all. It's just disgusting.
We girls handle it differently that the men. Do you wonder so many of us
are on antidepressants.
Really you can't blame us if we'd rather have a second helping of cake than
spend time with those guys.
The other one.
