So plenty of people have pointed out this tweet is satire, but similar sentiment has been shared by Andrew Tate, Nick Fuentes, and other “manosphere”/alt-right grifters.
I just want to put out clearly what these men mean, and what the dog-whistle here is: They are not saying a man with a penis fucking a woman’s pussy is gay. They are saying that a man following all the acts of affection and consideration to the physical and emotional wants and needs of your partner is: effeminate, inferior, non-masculine, and therefore “gay”. This is what incels argue when they complain about “modern women” and divorce and “gold diggers”. Being anything less than an egotist, entitle, aggressive prick is “gay”; and they know just as well as their critics, that few women would take a relationship like that.
The Turning Point USA/Heritage Foundation evangelical-type want women as Second-Class Citizens. The manosphere/incel type want women as property – sold from father to husband property. (Well, that’s the vision they sell. The grifters want men single and alone; shut-in and consuming their content.)
The way the alt right has been working for the past ten years has been saying something absolutely outrageous, and then claiming it’s a joke/satire afterwords. It’s a way of introducing those ideas into the mainstream while maintaining plausible deniability. They started by “joking” that we should repeal the 19th amendment, but the goal is to shift the Overton window. Any “satire” is a fig leaf.
