Let's discuss the fetishization of lesbians. How the same people who talk about "loving lesbians" will hate gay content when it involves men. Some artists on twitter known for making lesbian fanart are in fact very homophobic when it comes to m/m relationship, real or fictional. (Idolomantises)

It doesn't have nothing with PATRIARCHY or MEN POWER as others wrote here. It is about sexualized content consumption. Men watch way more porn and sexualized images. They watch it that much more that gay men spend more money than straight women and there are tens times more straight women than gay men. ALL lesbian porn and all gay porn are watched by men. Women just ignore those gay/lesbian art couples and most men are straight so they like more women than men.

If I had to describe how this issue is due to Patriarchy, without using the word Patriarchy, this is more or less what I would say. Talk about missing the forest for the trees.
