There are cultures on earth that are straight up homophobic, but will accept the use of force for a man to penetrate another man as a show of dominance.

    I worked with a Pakistani man many years ago who literally said "it's not gay if you're the one giving" and to this day I'm not sure I've heard anything gayer.

    Love is love just so we're clear. I just shake my head at how badly some cultural beliefs can twist reality.

    Yeah, it's a surprisingly widely held belief. Iv'e heard the same thing in both West and Southern Africa. IIRC, it was the Sierra Leonean Civil War where it was a documented practice.
