I have a new theory that I think explains some otherwise confusing elements in our society's approach to the relations of the sexes.
Imagine you're a young man. You have a powerful sexual urge. You want a sex-partner who is as eager to engage in sex acts as you are. You want the partner to have a firm, muscular body. You don't want the partner to expect an exclusive sexual relationship, whether temporary or permanent. You don't want the partner to have tiresome emotional complications, or to expect attention when you'd rather watch sports, play video games, or drink beer with your friends. You don't want the partner to produce consequences, such as babies. to put it bluntly, you just want to ejaculate.
Doesn't this sound like "you," our modern young American man, really want ANOTHER GUY, not one of those *shudder* women?
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a WINNAH!!
You are exactly right. For a man (a certain kind of man, for convenience we'll call him a triflin' Leftist man, but hey, could be secular white Right or even Libertarian!) the ideal lust object being another MAN (or boy, they're smoother and tauter) --- and any lingering repugnance over unseemly contact with the solid waste system is quickly overcome by the consideration that no surprise offspring will ensue, and no intricate emotional entanglements. In short, no baby and no baggage.
And here's an ever sadder thing: Germain Greer was saying something LIKE this 40+ years ago in "The Female Eunuch"--- oddly, though: forever getting it smack-right, and then instantly reversing and upending herself.
She used to say that the hellacious thing about gender stereotyping is, not that gay men are expected to be feminized like women, but that women are expected to be eunuchs like gay men.
Greer used to say that men (here again, she means trifling Leftist men, the only kind she knew) hate women, though the (Leftist) women do not realize this and are taught to hate themselves.
At one point she yells, "I’m sick of being a transvestite. I refuse to be a female impersonator. I am a woman, not a castrate!
Then she goes on to idiotically recommend that all women become female nullos anyway, no functional attachment-feelings, no really functional attachment-parts, all their fertility and feelings disabled---
I mean, how is a contracepting or sterilized woman so much different from a F2M Trannie? Basically your systems have been knocked out, hormonally and/or surgically doctored, neutered, "fixed."
All that's left is artifice. You may was well be an android.

That's one of the themes of Updike's The Rumor.
I used to have a photograph of two devices sitting next to each other. One had an on-off switch. It was labeled, “man.” The other had many switches, dials and controls. It was labeled, “woman.”
Men ARE easier.
But this man thinks the ladies are infinitely more fun.
