 === Repressed homosexuality ===
-A common feminist claim is that male homophobes often have repressed homosexual impulses, which seems to have been indicated by phallometry.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latent_homosexuality#Links_to_homophobia</ref> The reason homophobes need to signal this is rather 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 androphily would primarily be a separate sexual identity, when in truth it is primarily an accessory that is conductive to male [[reproductive success]] in heterosexual males.

+It is typically insinuated that such homophobic males have merely internalized anti-gay views, but in truth homophobia may rather be a rational reaction to a real threat to men's status due to a natural way men compete.
