There's something there, I think, at least for men, as a psychological defense against marginalization. "I may be a lowlife but at least I'm not a queer." I read somewhere recently that some anticolonial discourse played with a colonization = ravishment trope, that the colonized man was somehow feminized (and no, that is not a, um, backdoor apology for imperialism). I don't know what to make of this, does anyone else?
