To your questions yes and yes. But you're correct those who can be influenced were probably already on the spectrum, but to put in in mathematical terms they were 65%-85% straight but conditioning could wear them down to 45% to 65% aka bi/queer and all these other labels. As a guy who ran track in hs (track team and football team had significant overlap) the amount of gay jokes antics supposedly straight dudes with an emphasis on but not exclusive to cacs partook in made me immediately realize those guys were either closeted or curious. dikk taps, teabags, trying to "pants" other males, and this was tame because I went to a mostly cac HS in socal. The fakkitry in the midwest/south must be
. But all these same men had their pick of the litter with cheerleaders, popular girls in student gov, etc. Both feminism (3rd wave and fakkitry) go hand in hand because they both aim to take power from straight men, while assimilating them into being receptive/accepting of the terms of their movement if not partake and support, anything less (acknowledgment without full fledged support, saying you'll tolerate, but don't want it around you etc.) is seen as an attack or full on opposition. Too many parallels
