sexuality dysphoria

The condition of being a straight guy trapped in a misogynistic body. Those afflicted with sexuality dysphoria are prisoners of their own sexuality: they simultaneously desire women and can’t stand them. They're happiest when they’re hanging out with “the guys” and really don’t like the company of women.

I feel bad for all those MRA guys suffering from sexuality dysphoria. Wouldn't they be happier if they were gay? Wouldn’t they be happier if they could get a little man-on-man action at the end of the night? I think so. As it stands, they simultaneously want women and hate women.

God, I hate that guy! Never stops scheming. He's such a networker.
