Daily Write #4

I thought it was really interesting on p. 541 in Rereading America how he explained homophobia and how it really affects men. It’s not as much a fear of gay people, it is more of a fear of men and being called gay and verbally or even physically abused. This passage especially challenged me because I had never thought of homophobia or male stereotypes in that way and how much guys have to live up to. I found it interesting when he said women automatically think a man is gay if they are sentimental or emotional or even a good listener if they care at all.
