Homophobic "preacher" on University of Tennessee's campus ranting about lesbians shrinking the dating pool for straight men gets sign snatched from him by another student
  • 264 points [deleted]

    Masculinity can be so fragile. The thought of any amount of women not wanting to have sex with him sends him into a meltdown.

    You know, on one hand I completely get what you’re saying and agree wholeheartedly.

    On the other hand I feel like I could fix him with a maid dress and a chastity cage. The question is just if I’d be willing to try that

    Hate speech and free spread of disinformation is the reason why the world is at the state ot is right now. People at each others' throats who've never met in their entire lives.

    Yep. I can’t begin to count how many times I have heard from men (and from other bi women) that as soon as they hear a girl is bi they automatically assume that means she is open to threesomes with any random creepy stranger (but only with themselves and another hot girl, of course). It’s disgustingly common. Absolutely good point about bi erasure centering men and men’s fantasies.

    I know, right? The unicorn hunting thing is a major factor in why I was in denial about being a bi woman for so long.

    Yep. Just shows that he doesn’t care if the women want to be with them or not, if he thinks lesbians should just get with guys, maybe because he doesn’t think of them as people with their own thoughts, feelings, etc., or maybe he thinks sexual orientation is a “choice”… but I bet if anyone suggested that he could choose to be gay he’d lose his mind and disagree that that was possible.

    Gee, I wonder why all the guys he talks to online can’t find a girlfriend. What a mystery!

    Man, he’s got such a whiny ”SHRILL” voice and his outlook etc. just ensures any woman with any sense (including sense of seof-preservation and safety) would want to stay far far far away from him. What would they even bond over, hatred? sadly I guess that’s possible but any reasonable stable person not filled with hate would be disgusted by him, whether gay, bi, straight, etc.

    He doesn't scream preacher to me, more incel (too young) but there's a very thin difference between the two. A lot of incels have religious beliefs that oddly enough don't mesh with their incel beliefs but for them to stop and think about it would require them to have a modicum of intelligence

    True. I actually know lots of LGBTQ allies (or even members) who are Christians. 

    As I've started before, they aren't looking to act in Christian ways, they want something that justifies their bad behavior. Let's not forget Jesus telling people that "If your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out." And not "It is the temptress who made you sin." 

    parent root
    1 points Frodo_Swaggins_1913

    No, but they can cherry-pick Eve for that. Jesus had a lot of good advice but let’s not whitewash the entire Bible that was cool with slavery and told people that if they beat their slave it was fine as long as they didn’t die within 3 days, was fine telling people to slaughter entire tribes and villages and kill babies but keep the girl children and women virgins alive as sex slaves, that disrespectful children should be stoned to death at the gates of he city, that a man who lays with another man should be put to death. Sadly I could go on but the point is that there are Christians who want to be better people and are inspired by some of the good scriptures and choose to help their fellow humans despite the bad scriptures. It’s a shame that Evangelical Christian nationalists/ MAGAts don’t read the MANY parts of their Bible that command them to “welcome foreigners, because they were once strangers in the land. I am the Lord your God”. The Bible even seems to be just fine with abortion and tells priests how to complete one if a husband came to the priest and even SAID that he had a suspicion of infidelit (he wasn’t even required to actually believe that she had been unfaithful according to a plain reading of the text).just refer to Numbers 5:11-31.

    What a great way to make sure the straight women don't want you anymore either! So fragile.

    The mental gymnastics too... If only they were straight, they'd want me? If you're angry about this, good chance it is because straight women already don't want you.

    Bro, he’s actively hating on lesbians for being the “reason” men can’t find girlfriends. For reference approximately 1.4 or 1.9% of girls are lesbians, it is physically impossible for lesbians to be that major of a problem in the dating pool, perhaps it’s because it’s not attractive to hate minorities.
