Homosexuality: Difference between revisions

*'''Selection-mutation balance''': [[Mutation]]s occur naturally. Hence some number of males are expected to express androphilia, but sexual selection will rule out mutations over time as best as it can, but it cannot be ruled entirely as mutations are unpredictable and some amount of mutation is useful to adapt to environmental changes and outcompete other species, hence a balance between mutation and selection is maintained.

*'''Developmental disturbances''': Related to the previous point, homosexuality may be caused by environmental disturbances, which may act in the same or similar ways as genetic mutations, causing some males to express androphilia.<ref>https://psychology.wikia.org/wiki/Pathogenic_theory_of_homosexuality</ref> See also [[feminization]].

Negative emotions toward gays have been termed ''homophobia'' by social scientists, sneakily characterizing them as an anxiety disorder and irrational fear (a ''phobia''). Similarly, the fear of being regarded as gay or socially excluded for being gay has been termed ''homohysteria'', again characterizing it as an irrational anxiety, a ''hysteria'', even though it may be warranted under certain circumstances. After all, losing one's reputation of being able to compete for women is cross-culturally cosidered detrimental for men.<ref>https://digitalcommons.humboldt.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1008&context=senior_comm</ref>

A variety of not necessarily contradictory evolutionary hypotheses for these emotions have been proposed as summarized below. Again, one can distinguish slow and fast life history adaptations, e.g. ruthless male competition as a fast life history adaptation in contrast to adaptations regulating cooperation effectiveness as a slow life history adaptation.

One hypothesis is that gays are avoided and excluded because they are seen as ineffective coalition partners when competing for women.<ref>https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2017-53145-010</ref> However historical male warrior societies like Sparta (mannerbund concept being typically correlated with homosexuality, see also the Stumabteilung (SA) in Nazi Germany, which was riddled with homosexuality, including the leader of the SA, Ernst Röhm, before the leadership was purged during the Night of the Long Knives) and Thebes (the legendary Theban band, made up solely of male homosexual couples) seem to seem to challenge the theory that homophobia results from poorer male group cohesion.

An alternate hypothesis claims that homophobia is not mediated by homosexual men being poorer coalition partners, but is instead caused by friction between men who seek to forge coalitions based on competence and accrual of resources vs men who forge alliances based on intimate homosexual relationships.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780124201903000302</ref>

Much of homophobia may be born from male intrasexual competition in accusations of gayness. Homosexuality may be banned in so many cultures as it taps into these evolved mechanism of competition, so it feels natural to [[bully]], punish and exclude males who cannot get sexuality in the natural way, that is by competing for reproductive opportunities with other men. However, in many traditional cultures more importance is attached to the sexual role a man takes than to the sex of his partners. Most 'homophobic' stigma is directed toward 'effeminates' (passive males), while active homosexuals are received with indifference or even congratulated on their dominance and sexual success. In cultures with moral systems that sanction all sexual relations between men, there is still some difference in the way they are received: passive homosexuality is seen as a shameful degradation of the self, active homosexuality a form of violence against others. This shame/violence matrix explains why the Ancient Greeks preferred non-penetrative forms of homosexual copulation between free males. It was considered poor form for an erastes to subject his eromenos to sodomy: an act of violence in a loving relationship meant to engender virtue.

Many male incels lack heterosexual experience as well as the ability to impress women or intimidate other men and they occupy low social status. As a result, male incels may be vulnerable being accused of gayness, especially now that it is socially accepted to identify as homosexual.

For this reason, male incels may feel ''unease'' with male intimacy and physical closeness with other males, and they may even express strong anti-gay views, both in order to avoid risking a reputation of being homosexual.

The '''gaypill''' is [[pill jargon]] for straight [[involuntarily celibate]] men who think that the only way to escape Inceldom is to become gay. In their opinion they can't get a woman, because women don't want them because they are more strict than men in regards to issues such as [[lookism]], [[racepill|race]], [[statusmaxxing|status]], [[mentalcel|mental state]] or other diseases. On the other hand they believe that men in general don't care as much about these things so much as women do, so that they have an easier chance to escape inceldom by becoming bi/gay. It is a special form of the [[blackpill]].
