this has been on my mind a lot. I follow some lesbian meme shitposting groups and there’s tons of memes that are just like “This girl looked at me and I died and then she smiled at me and I came back to life” and I just cannot think of any cishet men’s spaces that bring that have that level of absolutely dorky dysfunctional love for women. And, like, cishet men, their whole thing is supposed to be being in to women, and that just strikes me as really weird that there’s not an equivalent. Like the closest I can think of is wife guy memes but that’s just one wife, usually.

Do any spaces like that exist? Is it even possible given the way gender works in society?

Crawled out of bed for this post. Cis men worse than lesbians at being attracted to women? Indeed, the sun will rise and set today. Being a lesbian is so much fuckin cooler.

cishet men, their whole thing is supposed to be being in to women, and that just strikes me as really weird that there’s not an equivalent.

So you know about the patriarchy,

Bros are completely incapable of presenting a self that’s anything but domineering, usually. I will say I think some of our dorky soft loverboys here do things like this now and then, which I approve of.

I’m allowed to act like that with out being shamed for being gay from every fucking person in existence? Doubtful. I already deal with people just assuming I’m gay when I am clear I’m not. Let’s just add fucking fuel to the fire. 😆

I mean, read any het romantic poetry written by a man from now to like, the beginning of writing and you’ll run across some version of:

“This girl looked at me and I died and then she smiled at me and I came back to life”.

Sure, poetry’s not as popular now as it used to be, especially for heterosexual men, but people are still making it and sharing it, so presumably those spaces. I’m pretty sure that line almost verbatim is in at least two recent pop songs.
