I can’t find it now, but I once read an article that said that bc patriarchy devalues women and our opinions and centers men, it results in straight (and non straight men I suppose) centering other men in their lives. Since only men’s opinions matter, men do everything for the approval of other men, usually the “manliest” man. For example, “trophy wives” are usually more about showing off to other men rather than bc the husband actually wants to be married to or is even super attracted to her. Or some men will pretend to not be attracted to a woman if their male friends have deemed her unattractive. Basically, they have done studies on it and if you search for homosexual desire and patriarchy you can find some (though I can’t find the specific one I’m thinking of)
Comment on Without hierarchies/authority figures, the bootlickers would be totally lost. 🤠

It’s their kink. That’s why Grindr gets overwhelmed every time they gather

Yes this makes sense and I’ve seen it constantly it’s really weird how much their lives are all about impressing other men

Most people feel lost and stay lost, pretending to be on a path others gave them, especially when they don’t practice the hard part of life: figuring out how to self actualize

Union or non-union construction?

Union

That explains it.

Most construction unions operate in this way. They are also about 90% far right whackos. Like ranting about George soros, hunter Biden and vaccines crazy
