Could misogyny and homophobia stem from the same place?


A lot of times people who hate male homosexuals tend to have a similar view on women. My blog won't speak on hatred reasoned with religion, and I will focus more on male mentality. This trend seems to be more with certain males, not all men, just some.
To these men, women are objects, as "holes" per se. Women are naturally submissive during sex and men who view this submission as a weakness also have a tendancy to hate gay men. Gay men, to those men who hate them, are all "bottoms". They willingly become "holes", they willingly take this submissive position and these men resent that, tremendously so. These men also tend to, at least, passive aggressively hate women. They may view women as stupid, emotional/crazy, gold diggers etc. Basically with all these reasons to hate them they're dehumanized, they become objects. There's no need to feel bad about using them or treating them badly.
Also with gay men it's almost as if they're betraying their gender, and the men that hate them say it's not natural yet hardly any seem to have a problem with two women. It's because in their head women are sex objects, they're not really human, in a way, there's nothing to be "natural". If it's only natural for a man and woman, then it's only natural for reproduction. Therefore to not be a hypocrite they would have to remove all condoms and forms of contraception and anal sex is out of the question, yet they're not all doing that, because "it's not natural" is just an excuse to hate, not a reason.
This isn't aimed at all men, just men who are homophobic and have tendencies to think of women a certain way. This is just a hypothesis made from observations of the people I've encountered. X
