[MENTION=21405]meridannight[/MENTION] and [MENTION=22948]TigerLover[/MENTION] I get that you guys are just being honest and I'm glad that you are. In a topic like this I would never ask someone not to be. But I find it troubling when I come across those sort of sentiments and generalizations about women. You feel the way you feel and I understand that, but the level of misogyny in some gay men strikes me as strange.
Not a direct response to either of you, but just on the topic in general, I guess in my own experience my attraction to men has very little to do with how I feel about women. I'm not repulsed by the female body and I reject the idea that there is some blanket female personality. When I hear other gay men talk about women being gross it's like when I hear straight people be like two men kissing is gross. It comes off as immature to me. I'm sure it has a lot to do with having sisters, maybe it's a protective thing in me. But it causes a strong enough reaction in me to make me address it here.
I'm gay, I don't identify as anything else. I've never kissed a girl much less slept with one. But if I lived in some country or time where being openly and exclusively gay was impossible, I don't think having sex with a woman would be all that difficult for me. I have an obvious (to me) preference for men, but it's not because of anything I find offensive or unattractive about women.
It also doesn't shock or surprise me that some straight men dislike or don't value the individuality of women. By the way women are nearly universally treated in society and have their worth measured in terms of their sexual desirability to men it seems actually pretty common.
Again, no disrespect or me trying to tell you guys how you should feel. Just my thoughts on it.
