Yes, gay men, like anyone, can exhibit misogynistic behaviors. Here’s how:
Internalized Misogyny: Some individuals may internalize societal misogynistic norms and exhibit them, regardless of their sexual orientation.
Cultural Influences: Cultural and social environments that perpetuate misogyny can influence anyone, including gay men.
Personal Attitudes: Personal beliefs and attitudes about women, shaped by upbringing and experiences, can affect behavior.
Stereotypes and Prejudices: Misogynistic attitudes may arise from stereotypes and prejudices, which can be adopted by anyone.
Socialization: Men, regardless of their sexual orientation, may have been socialized in environments where misogynistic behavior was normalized.
Individual Behavior: Misogyny is a matter of individual behavior and not inherently linked to sexual orientation.
Misogyny and Feminism: Some gay men may reject feminist ideas or women’s issues, reflecting their personal biases rather than their sexual orientation.
Power Dynamics: Misogyny can be rooted in power dynamics and control, which can manifest in anyone, including gay men.
Peer Influence: Gay men may be influenced by peer groups or communities that hold misogynistic views.
Media Representation: Exposure to misogynistic portrayals in media can impact individuals regardless of their sexual orientation.
It’s important to recognize that while sexual orientation does influence individual perspectives, misogyny is a complex issue that can affect people across all demographics.

Hitting a child is never a good idea. Some do it out of anger, frustration and as a form of control and bullying. No child who has been abused in this way (hitting a child is physical abuse), will look back on their childhood and consider it ‘happy’. There are other ways to discipline a child than lifting your hand to them. Violence breeds violence.
Hitting kids just makes them violent. It makes them react to wrong things aggressively. It makes them believe that hitting is a sign of love and that it’s okay to hit people who are wrong. It makes them have anger issues and makes them distant. And none of that is okay.
