What makes it worse is power imbalance, op. It'll be "as bad" once half the world is queer, and worse after that

Really though society isn't homogenous and you'll find situations when you're in the minority no matter who you are. I've been ostracized as a fag in Tulsa (vaguely feminine, not hitting on drunk girls) and cis scum in Seattle (telling a dude to quit grabbing my ass). You can find plenty of hateful screeds about perverts or breeders if you go looking, my advice would be don't, those people all suck

But to roll back some of that nuance, it's 2026 and the world's most powerful government is trying to put trans people in camps so no op, that's definitely worse, not even the same kind of problem

    half of the world population are women and it doesn't resolve the problems of misogyny or make misandry as socially significant or dangerous as misogyny ... this exposes a naive way of thinking about power - a minority can hold more power than a majority, and you probably know this

    A slightly more charitable interpretation of "half the world" could resolve your complaint. It's still a gross oversimplification but I was kinda trying to meet op where they seem to be at instead of, you know, calling them a troll and pasting a wall of (admittedly good) academia
