My girlfriend (actually the relationship has devolved to where she has become my roommate/verbal abuser) made the comment "You are so wimpy sometimes I think you are gay". I didn't get too angry because i know how false this statement is. But it got me thinking that it is a widely held yet highly unfair stereotype.
I am a wimpy (physically, not so much personality) man who has always been attracted to women and have never had any attraction towards men. I guess some women would like the world to be organized that way where masculine men were all straight and us wimps were gay..but it just doesn't work that way. Plenty of hypermasculine bodybuilding types are in fact gay and many (probably the vast majority) of us wimps are hetrosexual.
My question is not whether wimpy guys are gay, but why you put up with this crap. There is no excuse for this.

She was baiting you. Obviously she doesn't respect you and wanted to start a fight.
I don't understand what a fear of insects has to do with sexuality.
Niether do I. Nor wimpiness, for that matter. Most of my gay male friends aren't wimpy at all. Most are pretty well built. And even if they weren't - sexuality doesn't have anything to do with your body type or fear of insects. The girlfriend is basically just being a jerk.
There can be two kinds of wimpy. There is the I cant carry my groceries and a gallon of milk at the same time, and the afraid of tiny insects and would probably get my butt handed to me in a fight.
I think what she means by wimpy is the afraid of bugs and lack of security. The reason being is that men have the duty of protecting the household. In the animal kingdom, the male lion is the protector, the female is the hunter. So, if you are a guy who cant defend her against an insect, you are worthless as a man. Obviously this isn't the case and I am being extreme, but I guess that's where the gay thing comes from?
Also, how big you are doesnt mean you can fight. I have seen plenty of people take down much bigger guys.
