the rejection of jock culture’

Last night I had one of those good long all-evening conversations with Lyn. I think we really opened up to one another. I had been reading a book on meterosexuality and sports culture yesterday afternoon, which sent thoughts whizzing around my head like a kitten in a washing machine. I really find jock culture repugnant – it’s so misogynistic and homophobic, not to mention so blatantly repressed. To me, people like me and Lyn reject precisely that repugnant nonsense, for in opening our feminine sides up rather than repressing them, we kind of learn the value of both genders. It has to be more adult and open minded than the homophobic, reactionary culture of many of our male contemporaries.
