gay men are the origin of misogyny, for that, every male supremacist and misogynistic society was deeply homosexual and pedophilic.

Much more likely that women accuse misogynistic men of being homosexuals and pedophiles as a way of blackening their reputations (which are plenty black already). It's slander used to influence public relations, not facts and figures from actual research.
As always, bigots have nothing to support their arguments: all they can do is lie and lie and lie.
“gay men are the origin of misogyny,”
Not in my experience. Gays tend not to be threatened by women. They KNEW they weren’t going to make a joke or a gesture that might lead to charges.
STraight men were pissed that they could no longer use the same vulgarities they were used to before WOmen were allowed on warships.
“for that, every male supremacist and misogynistic society was deeply homosexual and pedophilic.”
Tailhook.
Most of the men who were there were disgusting straight pigs, then many men who were NOT there were even more disgusting. Their response to sexual harrassment and/or rape was that the women should have known what they were getting into. Men in and out of the pilot community thought that ‘too big a deal’ was being made of it by the pc crowd.
They certainly weren’t pedophiles,and they were aggressively not gay. But they fully expected to be granted a right to sexually harrass women, even if they were ranking officers.
Most pedophiles who have any attraction to adults at all would be considered straight men so minus points for the linking of pedophilia and homosexuality. I have known many gay men who are deeply misogynistic, but I don’t think sexuality actually has any role in the true nature of misogyny. It’s about power, the sexual aspect is just a mask it wears and a lame attempt at justification.
Edited to add: There might be something to the idea that a male supremacist culture is homoSOCIAL. Men who despise women are more likely to want to hang out with other dudes.
The fact that obsessing over and demonising women as targets of male desire is such a fundamental and pervasive feature of misogyny should really make this self-evidently false. In fact, cognitive dissonance between one’s heterosexuality and one’s misogyny seems, to me at least, a very common major driver for misogyny.
Furthermore, from what I have seen, misogynistic homosexual men tend to be motivated by heteronormativity - they are not attracted to women as they “ought to” (even if they otherwise would be “Real Men”), so (of course) they lay the blame on women.
Confused?
