I don't really subscribe to the "homophobes are self hating gays" theory but I do want to point out a lot of supposedly straight dudes spend a lot of time thinking about dick.
We could probably solve a lot of issues if they just got dicked down instead is all I am saying.

another thing to think about is how men chose to accessorize and decorate women, forcing insecurities upon them to keep them smaller than the men. women became sexualized and valued by mostly their appearance, which came swinging around when women began taking pride in just that.

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time.
Time to claim your true history.
