I've heard some say that men who are disgusted by even the possibility of
homosexual attraction/advances/etc. toward them would actually be the unwitting
beneficiaries of a sort of turnabout justice, in that they'd get to experience
(if such an occurrence should actually happen to them) what women get to
experience all the time from other men.  Perhaps this has something to do with
men "needing" to be the pursuer rather than the pursuee... (?)
