Rep Becca Balint (D-VT) comments on Hegseth’s new ‘Testosterone Efficiency’ policy: “There are so many people in this Administration that have some weird, intense homoerotic feelings toward men, while also being incredibility homophobic.”

Absolutely nailed it 🎯

hegseth wants his gender affirming care. but he also wants to keep his foot on the neck of women and people of color. he is a white nationalist christofascist who wants the world to burn because of his tiny little dick and massive ego.

oh yeah she DEFINITELY went to smith 

This woman may be my new shero. The Tom of Finland comparison is <chef’s kiss>

I mean she isn’t wrong AT ALL, but if she thinks that the military hasn’t always treated people of color and women like shit, she’s kidding herself. This isn’t new, either.

once the human body starts receiving too much testosterone, to my knowledge, it starts to balance itself out by converting it to estrogen

This is so true- Pete Hegseth lives his entire life like he’s in the volleyball scene from Top Gun


Yea and giving out viagra like they are tic tacs

TELL EM

Add into this, one of the Fox News idiots actually said on air that women should look out bc these guys will be so horny (I’m paraphrasing)

It’s an obvious point, but this is one of fascism’s many contradictions: the cult of masculinity but the persecution of non-heteronormativity.

Hegseth is ticking off Eco’s Ur-Fascism list one by one.

To be honest, I feel like most society is a version of this, but it is most extreme and visible within conservative spaces.

“To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.

Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”

– Marilyn Frye, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory

Damn this is hilarious and spot on. Everyone should be saying this more.

Love this, we need to start confronting awkward truths even if it feels wrong to say in polite society.

Homophobes think about gay shit more than gay people.

Two sides of the same coin hate and love.
