If you thought you were a true ally, maybe it's time for some introspection.

    For sure. There is societal conditioning of males against liking duck. As someone who doesn’t like divk, I see this all the time - entertainment, cultural phrases, even fucking urinal etiquette memes ffs.

      There is a lot of stuff that puts it in your head that it’s not right. Even just every one calling stuff “gay” in the 90s and 00s helps reinforce that.

      personally, I finally moved past it at some point. I’m still not into guys but I’m perfectly capable of seeing penis on a woman as femenine and attractive now. Definitely internalized antipenis feelings for more than 25 years before tho.

          I agree. I mean realistically there’s not really much of a logical reason to be weird about it other than societal conditioning. Anecdotal but for me, every “preference” I had growing up was some kind of internalized prejudice.

          I used to say I didn’t like non-white people as a preference because when I was little I remember the people around me coming down really hard on that “races shouldn’t mix” and then I just let that go, and honestly genital stuff was kind of the same way.

          The sooner society moves passed essentializing an entire human being down to their genitals the better tbh. But that’s just my view on it
