MEN do physical things, MEN are sexually agressive and don't take no for an answer, MEN do the penetrating, MEN have the power. Then the idea of a man who does these stereotypical feminine things comes around and suddenly its the end of the world.
The idea that, if they would possibly have a man be attracted to them, then fuck them, then treat them the way they treat women, is a fear these idiots have.

I agree that there is a certain level of fear that leads to the hate. But calling it homophobia, to me, puts them on the defensive, when in fact they are the ones attacking the culture by oppressing their rights. It's been thousands of years that this is going on. It's time to get over illogical fears.
