@olivia (bear with me here) at queer dance parties i’ve been to, gay guys like to dance near other gay guys, and once a critical mass forms they exert a gravitational pull that draws in more gay guys like a horny black hole
but in trying to be near men in the process they push out the women, who don’t tend to like to rub up against each other in quite the same way
so women often end up relegated to the back of the dancefloor, to say nothing how there’s fewer of us at events in general

@olivia my observation here is, charitably, the gay guys aren’t *trying* to push out women; their goal is to be near the other men they are i think definitely *careless* — they don’t care that they’re pushing me away and that i find them repellant. and it’s just made me think of other ways in which these dynamics are replicated, among men writ large, in systematic ways. have a nice day!
