Was having this conversation with some new friends earlier and was curious. When did you guys figure out your sexuality/identity or whatever? Was there a person that helped you or a particular moment or event?

Apparently my attraction is kinda misogynistic

Attraction can't be misogynistic just like it can't be racist or hetero or homophobic. It's not a failing or a success to feel sexually attracted to someone (or to not feel this towards anyone at all). Attraction is a feeling. Feeling, like all emotions, are always valid. There is nothing inherently right or wrong about the presence or absence of an emotion or feeling.

It is completely valid to be attracted to whatever you are attracted to and to not be attracted to whatever doesn't fall in that bucket.
