The heterosexual society has made a complex mechanism to demasculinize men who log on to their sexuality for men, and don't respond to the social mechanisms meant to divert the male sexual desire for men towards women.

This process of demasculinization is formalized in the form of a gay identity that is originally the third sex identity redefined by a society meant to deny manhood to men who own up their desire for men, as a "man who like man" identity.

Gay stands for demasculinization of men.
