    This isn’t me being gay, it’s science

    It can also be you being ultra, super-duper, neon pink gay.

    Are we going to completely ignore the fact that male birds are prettied up SPECIFICALLY TO IMPRESS THEIR LADY COUNTERPARTS? Holy mother of fuck

    Like biologically these critters by and large are programmed to behave in “please like me and have babies” ways. If these dorks are going to make those comparisons they’d better start building impressive houses and wearing colorful clothes to make women happy.

      and the fact that female birds need to have that bland colouring as camouflage since they incubate the eggs

      But still a valid justification for being gay. And I’d hazard it’s a requirement that you find men far more attractive than women. Because if you don’t, then you are merely Bi, (and might have the best of all worlds-- we need more science on that I think).

    Men and women. Males and females. Girls and boys. People are obsessed with gender to the point they forget we’re all just human.

    Last night I was watching these two chuds watch one of my favourite movies (Children of Men) and one of them, responding to Julianne Moore’s character’s behaviour said “Ah, I HATE women like that!” and it genuinely caused my brain to skip a beat. There was nothing about the character’s actions that was specific to female behaviour. I don’t understand why he couldn’t have said “I hate PEOPLE like that.”

    I am an aspiring writer. I did a beta reader swap with one of my colleagues who just like me would like to be a sci-fi author. He was desperate to know how I was “so good” at writing women. Dude, lol, it’s not hard. Literally all you have to do to avoid all the men-writing-women pitfalls is remember that women are human beings first and women second, with all the same desires, hopes and fears as men.

    “I’m not gay, its perfectly natural and totally hetro-masculine to get a boner over chiseled, glistening men… Its just science!”

      I had a deeply religious room mate freshman year of college. He watched 300 at least 5 times in theaters and IDK how many times on DVD. I can only assume for the glistening chiseled men because its not that good. I always thought he was repressing his desires and this was the only way he could let them out at the time.

    The argument about birds is ignorant because of basic behaviour ecology. Arguing from Zahavis handicap hypothesis males display strength by giving themselves a handicap. Being highly visible, lumbered with pointless feathers.

    Females are camouflaged since they often are the ones on the nest.

      Yeah, evolutionarily, the more conspicuous male birds drew away predators that would have otherwise attacked the nest. Thus making it more likely their offspring survived.

    One lives in his basement and never showers and the other has all gay friends whom are nazies thru and thru.

    These two deserve each other, fucking losers.
