  • The overall observation that men are more homophobic than women is pretty established (source below). I believe what is happening here is that the overall lower attitude towards gay men compared to lesbian women is overshadowing the gender difference in overall homophobia.

    Since its about heterosexuals, the study is only looking at

    Women -> bi men & Men -> bi woman,

    so even though women might be less hatefull overall, this is overshadowed by societies’ dislike of men who deviate from gender norms. Alternatively, being bi is less of a gender norm violation for women than it is for men (see last to sentences below).

    Gender difference homophobia: Overview article (Godø et al, 2025):

    Furthermore, studies have shown that on average, men tend to express more negative attitudes toward LGBT people compared to women (Cotton- Huston & Waite, 2000; Nagoshi et al., 2008). The cause of this gender difference may have various explanations. One potential explanation lies with the social construct of masculinity. Traditional masculinity is often associated with toughness, aggression, and dominance, and this may lead to men perceiving LGBT people as a threat to their own masculinity or power (Theodore & Basow, 2000). This resembles much of what is known as machismo, a culturally shaped and maintained belief in Latinx groups, con- sisting of both hypermasculine characteristics and familial responsibility (Hirai et al., 2014). Such beliefs may result in discomfort and hostility toward those who do not conform to traditional gender roles (Goodman & Moradi, 2008). This may also be connected to the fact that young men are often socialized to be more tough and competitive, while young women are encour- aged to be nurturing and empathetic. This can result in different attitudes toward LGBT people, with men being more likely to view it as deviant or abnormal. However, no single factor seems to be the cause of this gender difference; rather, it is a combined result of gender norms, socialization, and cultural beliefs.









  • Ich finde es schön, dass du deine Nachricht damit beendest, dass du anerkennst, ea nicht zu wissen, auch wenn man herauslesen kann, was du für intuitiv schlüssig hältst. Ob gleichgeschlechtliche Eltern zu haben für die Entwicklung eines Kindes Auswirkungen hat, ist auch eine Frage, die man durchaus stellen kann.

    Du hast gesagt, du weißt es nicht, ich habe das Glück an dieser Stelle sagen zu können, ich weiß was darüber. Das ist in der Sozialpsychologie sehr ausführlich beforscht worden, primär aus der Notwendigkeit der Betroffenen heraus, ihre eigene Existenz verteidigen zu müssen. Und wenn ich ausführlich beforscht sage, dann meine ich wirklich Stichproben mit tausenden Kindern und Längsschnittstudien, die Kinder 20 Jahre lang begleitet haben. Man beschäftigt sich schon seit 40 Jahren mit dem Thema.

    Das Ergebnis: Kinder von LG-Familien ‘performen’ genauso gut wie Kinder ohne diese Spezifikation, im Zweifel etwas besser. Das gilt für alle möglichen relevanten Maße. Das mit dem besser liegt wahrscheinlich daran, dass lesbische und schwule Paare viel Aufwand auf sich nehmen müssen, um Kinder zu bekommen und deswegen diese Paare, die Kinder haben, einen entsprechend großen Kinderwunsch hatten und sich auch richtig emotional dazu verpflichten, einen guten Job zu machen.

    Obiges ist ein Fakt, an dem es wirklich keine Zweifel gibt. Wenn es dir wichtig ist, kann ich dir Belege raussuchen, grade habe ich da nicht so Lust zu. Ich erkenne an, dass ich ohne Belege nur eine Person im Internet bin, die etwas behauptet.


  • Hey dash! Cool article on an issue worth writing about. Thank you for sharing your own work here.

    I have a question about something that surprised me: did you consider censoring user names of the people you used as examples of negative internet culture? From a perspective of journalistic best practice, I personally feel like this would have been better, mostly since you are making a point about general culture, not specific people. This became noticable to me with the reference to mastodon (less with reddit). Maybe because mastodon feels like more of a personal, less anonymous platform. Also, @f… (no thank you voyager, I won’t tag him here, even if you autocomplete the handle) is more singled out.

    What I want to express is that I feel like that not censoring names detracts from your point of ‘online spaces are bad’ to ‘these people are bad’. This is especially true if the bad actor is a single person, as in the mastodon / ‘shut up about instagram’-section. This is the case in addition to the risk of people reaching out to the posters in question to worsen their day.
