I canāt find it now, but I once read an article that said that bc patriarchy devalues women and our opinions and centers men, it results in straight (and non straight men I suppose) centering other men in their lives. Since only menās opinions matter, men do everything for the approval of other men, usually the āmanliestā man. For example, ātrophy wivesā are usually more about showing off to other men rather than bc the husband actually wants to be married to or is even super attracted to her. Or some men will pretend to not be attracted to a woman if their male friends have deemed her unattractive. Basically, they have done studies on it and if you search for homosexual desire and patriarchy you can find some (though I canāt find the specific one Iām thinking of)
Comment on Without hierarchies/authority figures, the bootlickers would be totally lost. š¤

Most people feel lost and stay lost, pretending to be on a path others gave them, especially when they donāt practice the hard part of life: figuring out how to self actualize
