The long, versatile history of bottoming: From Ancient Greece to modern misogyny
Briefly

The article discusses a provocative incident involving a Californian OnlyFans user and its cultural implications within bottoming culture in gay communities. Expert João Florêncio emphasizes that bottoming, often stigmatized, has historical ties to patriarchy, submission, and societal perceptions of masculinity. He argues that bottoming has been viewed negatively due to a misogynistic lens, where those in receptive roles are seen as lesser. This exploration, particularly during LGBTQ+ History Month, aims to shed light on the diverse meanings and evolution of bottoming in the gay experience beyond stereotypes.

"All homophobia is inseparable from the patriarchy because homophobia is a form of misogyny. You hate gay men because they are closer to women."
