>The practice of competitive sport itself can have homoerotic dimensions: the contact of the playing field, the spectacle of the partially clad body, the steamy environment of the showers and locker room...
>I argued that men's sport allows men and boys to exclude women and girls from their all-male environments, permits them to play with each other's bodies, to surround themselves with naked men in the showers and locker cooms, to enjoy that all-male contact, without suffering the vilification that usually comes from the open acknowledgment and pursuit of masculine erotic contact, the stigma of "being homosexual.
>I will argue that competitive sport... is embedded in the masculine colonizing will to conquer the space of an "other" while simultaneously protectively enclosing the space of the self... In sex, it shows in the desire to penetrate the holes of others and the desire to resist having the same happen to oneself.
>In other words, the homophobia of competitive sport allows men to play with each other's bodies and still preserve their patriarchal heterosexist hegemony; they can have their (beef) cake and eat it, too.

>Less boastful than the phallus, perhaps because of its embarrassing vulnerability or even more terrifying potential openness, is the phallus's companion, the protective side of phallic desire, the side than can repel or admit others into the space carved out by phallic aggression.
>The simulacrum of this other side of phallic desire, I suggest is the asshole. It is the tightly closed orifice of the phallic conqueror, as well as the (perhaps) reluctantly opened orifice of the phalically conquered. Masculine desire is thus produced in the play of the phallus and asshole.
>It stimulates desire as both homoerotic and homophobic: homoerotic in its preoccupation with phallic intent, homophobic in its resistance to penetration.
>It goes without saying that a limp, shriveled penis is not effective in simulating the domineering masculine organization of desire. Given that no penis can live up to its phallic boast, no matter how swollen it gets, phallocentrism finds other ways to territorialize the body: innocuously, possibly, in body building, and more despotically in the territorial violence of warfare and competitive sport, for instance.
>Since one's participation in competition indicates one's commitment to phallic potency and one's defeat shows one's anal vulnerability and therefore phallic impotence, there is humiliation in defeat, in being penetrated by one's competitor.

imagine being this much of a beta male

get a load of this fag
evolutionarily speaking, sports and all is preparation for warfare. like young dogs play fighting
team sports - alliances and camoraderie between males led to more successful group warfare
fags projecting

Top kek m8.
Who would have known that everyone that liked exercising and had no insecurity about naked people being around them for less than a minute are all closeted faggots.
Thanks for giving us this crucial information philosophy.

Literally this. Physical competition and excellence makes us better for fighting an out-group. Not only that it allows us to know who is better at certain things. We know that Dave is the best hunter, Tyrone is the best runner, and that Steve is the best brawler.
Men compete but form camaraderie. Women compete for status and men, this is why unrelated women in groups tend to hate each-other. All the women I know do is complain about the women they work with. They tend to only cooperate with their family & mate.

It's better than identity politics, IP really screwed the pooch and have turned campuses into wastelands of fat, neon hair, unwashed SJWs who are pasty skinned like pockmarked dead planets yet still want all white people to be brutally murdered.
Jackson Morales
Yeah that guy is a retard and a homosexual. His reasoning sounds like pseudo-scientific projection. It wouldn't surprise me if the Dr. in his name meant that he's a psychoanalyst, which is basically one step above a charlatan.
That being said, I did give one of my homeboys a suck in the gym showers in high school, but I'm straight now so this guy has no idea what he's talking about.
Christopher Roberts
That isn't even what identity politics means though. Clinton plays identity politics, Trump's campaign is entirely identity politics.

As an actual homosexual, there is nothing homo erotic about sports, locker room showers, or the gym. Homo-eroticism is a gentle sexualality, it isn't an aggressive or competitive thing, there is nothing sexual about any of this to actual gay men, and straight men should really stop pretending they know anything about us homos

It's amazing how much freud, post modernism, and literary criticism destroyed the humanities.
Almost all mammals engage in play behavior that is distinct from sex. Why is it always these gay limp wristy types who imagine locker room fuck fests? I've known gay jocks and it's insulting to reduce sports to them trying to pop boners around hetero dudes.
