For Angus Suttie desiring men rather than women was at first even more painful than growing up in a working-class family in Scotland in the fifties and sixties: ‘Society told me ... I was despicable, and so I thought everyone like me was despicable ... I despised them as I despised myself.’2 Most men may never be quite free of anxiety over whether they are man enough. But only some men are systematically oppressed by the dominant conceptions of masculinity, affirmed as they are in social institutions and practices, as well as ideologies, which routinely privilege men.
