Gaugamela
(2,895 posts)6. He says sex with women is gay:
He has described himself as the "straightest guy" and attempted to defend himself as an incel by claiming that "the only really straight heterosexual position is to be an asexual incel", as "having sex with women is gay ... What's gayer than being like, 'I need cuddles. I need kisses ... I need to spend time with a woman.'" He has stated that the optimal age for a wife is 16, which as per him is "right when the milk is good."

Maybe?
Gaugamela
(2,895 posts)12. Maybe, but I think it's more likely he's repressing something he doesn't want to admit
to himself. It follows a pattern: the homophobia, the misogyny, the obsession with hyper masculinity like the spikes in Grindr activity when the RNC comes to town . . .
I have no problem with someone being gay. Its the hypocrisy, projection and bigotry Im calling out.

in a landfill.
He's a completely useless human being. His existence adds absolutely zero value to life on this planet.

Usually accompanied by some variation on the whine "Why don't women like me so they can have sex with me?"
