Summary
<p>It's International Men's Day, and I want to talk about homophobia against straight men. No, this isn't a joke: it's deadly serious. Homophobia is the violent border guard of masculinity, there to punish and victimise any man deemed to violate the norms of 'being a man'. So obviously queer men are the principal victims of male homophobia - but it's homophobia against straight men that allows us to understand what this bigotry is, and how maleness is constructed.</p><br /><p>Here's my Guardian column about it: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/may/17/homophobia-against-straight-men-lgbtq </p><p>Support this show <a href="http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast" rel="payment" target="_blank">http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast</a>.</p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
