Heterosexualization of a society or of social spaces refers to a process
whereby the gender-based spaces in traditional non-Westernised (and pre-modern
western societies in the past) -- which are divided into men's spaces, women's
spaces and third gender spaces -- are abolished as part of Westernization of the
society and replaced with heterosexual, mixed-sex spaces. It further involves
segregating the society, especially the men's spaces, on the basis of sexual
orientation.
In other words, heterosexualization of a society involves changing the
character of a society from 'gender segregation' to 'sexual orientation
segregation'.
In a traditional society divided on the basis of gender orientation, there
are usually three genders/ identities/ spaces: Men, women and third gender (the
last consisting of people who are considered both males and females, including
hermaphrodites, intersexuals and feminine gendered males -- transgendered,
cross-dressers, transvestites and transsexuals of whatever sexuality).
In a heterosexualized society, these spaces are converted into : Heterosexual
mixed sex space (formerly men's spaces), Heterosexual women space and LGBT
(previously third gender).
Heterosexualization of a society also involves heterosexualizing the customs,
traditions, rituals, values, mores, attitudes, beliefs, history, mythology,
laws, science and other social institutions and cultural elements of a
society.
Heterosexualization of individuals refers to a process whereby humans,
particularly men, are conditioned to be exclusively heterosexual, often by
suppressing or blocking their sexual need for men, and diverting this need
towards women through various psycho-social mechanisms.
HETEROSEXUALIZATION OF MEN'S SPACES
Heterosexualization is an oppressive, particularly anti-man process which was
invented in the modern west, which seeks to destroy the natural and traditional
way of human living, i.e., in separate male, female and third sex spaces. The
primary target of this process are the men's spaces which are converted into
mixed sex spaces for both men and women.
The heterosexualisation of men's spaces are accompanied by making the
pressure on men to prove their sexual interest in women to the extreme -- so
much so that it takes the form of a sexual identity -- called Heterosexuality.
Western Heterosexual spaces maintain that the overwhelming majority of men have
an exclusive, constant and all-pervading sexual interest in women, which guides
all their actions and attitudes, and that they are all capable and willing of
emotional and social bonds with women. Heterosexualisation is also accompanied
by an extreme pressure on men to suppress their sexual need for men, or else be
isolated out of the men's spaces (which are now completely
heterosexualised).
In other words, heterosexualisation of social spaces also involves the
'homosexualisation of male-male sexual and even social bonds'. Through this
process, using the Western concept of 'sexual orientation', men who own up their
sexual need for men are isolated into the modern version of the third sex, the
'homosexual'. The Third sex space, including the 'gay' space has traditionally
been extremely stigmatised for men, and this means that the the majority of men
who earlier indulged in sexual and romantic activities with other men, albeit
behind a social screen, are now forced to completely disown their sexual need
for men, which the heterosexual society then propagates as a quality that
belongs to 'feminised' males, known as 'homosexuals'.
The heterosexual spaces, where the forces of heterosexualisation are
extremely powerful and in complete control of the men's spaces, propagate such
values, where male-female sexual need is the most important human quality upon
which the entire mainstream social structure and mores are based. The
male-female sex and romantic bonds have the supreme right and position in the
social hierarchy, before which the traditional bonds are given a secondary
place. Thus the male-female sexual bond has the supreme right over all other
bonds -- be it the mother-adult son relationship, two brothers or a
brother-sister bond.
Especially targeted for persecution in heterosexual spaces are bonds between
men, and not only sexual bonds but even friendships. Heterosexual spaces do not
give this most cherished of male relationships any space or dignity at all, and
of course no recognition or rights. Any social or emotional intimacy between two
males is promptly labelled as 'gay', keeping in mind the extreme fear that men
have of this word. E.g. in the US, two men cannot hold hands in public without
being jeered as 'gay'. Two male friends cannot sit on the same seat on an empty
bus, nor can they go for a movie without a girl with them. Of course, these
spaces have generated so much hostility against male intimacy that they would
never think of dancing together with another man, which comes easily to a man
who has grown up in a non-western traditional space.
The media, which is heavily in control of the forces of heterosexualisation
are one of the main instruments of control and propaganda for these forces. They
propagate such male behaviour as men "puking at the thought of being kissed by
another male", which are not natural male behaviours, and not found in men who
live in traditional men's spaces. A lot of ruckus was created by these hostile
forces upon a kissing scene between two men in the movie Alexander.
In fact, anything that the forces of heterosexualisation do not want men to
indulge in is propagated as 'gay' by these forces. And it works every time.
The heterosexualised spaces are very sensitive to the needs and dignity of
women but quite hostile to the needs and privacy of men.
Heterosexualization of Men
Heterosexualization of men is a process whereby, social mechanisms that work
at the macro and social level as well as psycho-social mechanisms that work
inside men psychologically, are exerted on men to supress their sexual need for
men and to and divert this sexual need towards women, in order to make them
heterosexual. The outer and inner social mechanisms created to do this include:
(1) social stigma around male-male sexuality that considers it inappropriate
and immoral,
(2) Religious condemnation by Judeo/Islamic/Christian religions.
(3) the concept of Sexual orientation, through which men who show outer signs
of intimacy with other men are identified, labelled and then isolated away from
the men's mainstream spaces, into third sex ghettos known as 'homosexual'.
(4) Peer-Pressure
(5) Race for Manhood
(6) Ridiculing, and verbally, emotionally or
physically abusing sexuality between men.
(7) Making fun of male-male sexual feelings, and especially portraying it as
feminine (third sex) on the media.
The forces of heterosexualisation keep on refurbishing these mechanisms and
keep adding to the pressures on men in heterosexual spaces, because, if they
relent, men may easily retrieve their sexual need for men, and their exclusive
heterosexuality may be lost.
Although, the Western, Heterosexual spaces claim to be open, just and fair,
it is considered absolultely valid to create, maintain and impose these
pressures on men to make them heterosexual, including the sexual exploitation of
men, if it teaches them to open up to women, sexually, socially and
emotionally.
Men succeed in heterosexualising themselves to various degrees,
the rest they make up by pretences and wearing masks of heterosexuality.
