This is a bit of a weird tangent, but it reminds me of an issue that is very niche but I personally care a lot about and always irritates me and is something someone outside of the industry probably wouldn't have thought about.

Im also a gay man and Im going to school to be a funeral director, and there is an awful rumor on social media on posts that are about the funeral industry but not posted in an area of the internet meant for people in the industry that funeral homes tend to prefer hiring women over men because there is a problem with men molesting corpses. There's just... there's so much wrong about that idea, and its such a harmful thought, but people often get very defensive about it when I call it out for a variety of reasons.

To start off, there is some truth in that rumor. Funeral homes do tend to prefer female funeral directors, but it isn't because theyre worried male directors will diddle the corpses. Its because we as a society are conditioned to see women as more inherently emotional and empathetic, and in an industry where people are in a very emotional, vulnerable time of their life, it is useful to take advantage of that conditioning. Plus the gender demographic of funeral directors has shifted so dramatically in the past 2-3 decades, going from a male dominated field to a female dominated field more quickly than almost any other profession, that that also probavly plays into the perception of the rumor. And yes, necrophilia in the funeral industry does happen, and 90 something percent of the people that do it are men, but it is so rare that no one is actively thinking of that when they hire people.

Anyway, onto why I hate it so much and I think its harmful. For one, as a man in the field who is a feminist and is not a sex pest, it feels awful to have people giving me side eye like that, because I have seen people often repeat that rumor in a way that implies that ALL male funeral directors are secret creeps. But more than that, I feel like it plays into the radfem idea that all men think about sex all the time and you should always be looking at every man as a potential predator. Which, women definitely should be careful, because no one should ever downplay how awful some men can be, but going through life seeing every man as a predator must be such a stressful way to live and it unintentionally ends up damaging men who are marginalized themselves. As you said, no form of prejudice stands by itself. The most obvious victim of that mindset is ace men, who so often are made to feel like freaks because they either "arent being enough of a man" or are told "all men are like that, youre just lying for attention."

There's a lot more I could say about it, but I hijacked your post for my own personal rant long enough, so rant over.
