"Countless men’s profiles [on Grindr] contain specifications that would make a eugenicist proud: 'No Blacks, fats, femmes, or Asians!!!', 'Sorry, not into Blacks', 'Not big enough.' These strict criteria and the biases underpinning them are an open secret in the community – often joked about, but rarely objected to on social media.

No acronyms have been made to describe these gay men. Nobody doxes them or contacts their employers. Nobody subjects them to campaigns of targeted harassment. Nobody questions which Tweets they like, or polices who they follow on social media. Nobody suggests they are legitimate targets of violence. Nobody makes ‘jokes’ about punching, burning, or shooting them. Nobody attacks them at Pride Marches or public meetings. All of that treatment tends to be reserved for women." - Claire Heuchan

This. Right. Here. is what makes it misogyny, folks.

Gay/bi/straight men and TIMs get pass after pass on this, and threats against women have become normalized and sanctioned in cancel culture.

This is what misogyny looks like.
