Is modern feminism causing more and more men to be gay?

It is the truth now that many men, not just unattractive ones, are living in a kind of post sex or being needed by women era. Women are more interested in social media and iphones. They are even talking about the end of sex, with babies being conceived when women want by tech advances, it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that with genetic engineering/enhancement, you could even become the minority for conceiving in the basic fashion. The sexual marketplace seems very different that it was for our fathers and grandfathers. Is feminism leading more and more men to see desires for women as futile? Humans are complex and I don't believe homosexuality is the black and white binary innate disposition it's made out to be, folr example, were those homosexual men cultivated by boarding schools all innately more likely to be gay? Clearly environment plays a role. If men start out desiring women, realise that there is nothing doing and trying to have sex is futile, they will eventually sublimate their desires, even in the process is subconscious, they may channel their sexuality a different way as the human mind or biology won't keep motivating itself towards something futile. The research on homosexuality suggests the more older brothers a man has, the greater a chance a man has of being gay. This seems logical....if there are already brother(s) in the right amount to provide the next generation of kin below that, maybe some others are designed for a different evolutionary role in protecting that kin. The boarding school phenomenon would seem to have to do with sexual options, then the power of conditioning. So continuing, it would seem that sexually disinterested/picky women, a feminist climate, the increasingly unattractive prospect of having kids, with the world in a precarious place, economics hard and women in control too much and few reproductive options for men, mean that more and more men are becoming homosexual or open to it.

Your thoughts....?
I just read the title and laughed.
Do you think women are just sexless people who only have sex for babies? We've spotted the virgin everyone :wink:
I'm not a virgin, I had enough money not to be.

My thoughts...?

Use paragraphs.
This answers everything! I knew feminism had to be to blame for my homosexuality. Rejection from women made me realise my love for men.

What about lesbians?

Why is there the distinction between bisexuals and homosexuals?

What about the chromosome band Xq28 for male homosexuality?

Yes, clearly environment plays a role; but there's the environment, and then there's the subcategory of socialisation.
Environment also includes the environment affecting gene expression, which is also thought to be a cause for homosexuality prenatally.

The elder brother theory is because of an increased likelihood of a different response in the mother's womb; again, gene expression, again epigenetics.

What about male homosexuals who never had the desire the children in the first place?

I would have no problem if your post was the case, but I don't believe it is one iota.

Yes, I know this is true. Correct me if I'm wrong,you seem to be saying that this is mutually exclusive with the reason I gave, as being about the best evolutionary mechanism for gene survival, I think they are both the same, the biological process is not random, because it follows such a clear trend with older brothers, and makes a lot of evolutionary sense. Gene expressions and epigenetic casn have a specific reasons, just like they do with climate.

And then the boarding school thing. This adds to it. I'm not suggesting anything that radical, just that in a reproductive or sexual environment like this one and the way women are within it, this could cause many men who are not top choices(the 20/80 theory is apparently true until women get more humble as they are older and less attractive)to get conditioned to other option. That's not inconceivable. Why could gene expression, epigenetics, and conditioning not be affected by a cultural paradigm?
Yes you just decide on your sexuality

So much for the women who want to reproduce and have no need for men when the men won't give their precious seed
