A common feminist notion that homophobes are often homosexual themselves have homosexual impulses are plausibly correct. But the reason they need to signal this is because they lack social and sexual status otherwise that would allow them to act out their homosocial impulses without risking being vulnerable to male intrasexually competitive gossip. The feminist objection is mislead by the notion that homosexuality would be a sexual identity, when it truth it is only an accessory that is conductive to [[reproductive success]].
A common feminist claim is that male homophobes often have repressed homosexual impulses, which is plausibly correct. But the reason homophobes need to signal this is because they lack social and sexual status otherwise that would allow them to act out their homosocial impulses without risking being vulnerable to male intrasexually competitive gossip, also a result of living in a highly competitive environment or one that is heavily concerned about shame and honor. The feminist insinuation is mislead by the notion that homosexuality would be a sexual identity, when it truth it is only an accessory that is conductive to male [[reproductive success]].
