Misogyny is alive and well in the gay community – just look at ‘Gay Men Touch Vaginas For The First Time!’
The attempt to depict these videos as some kind of contribution to the anti-misogyny debate is nonsensical. A gay man squealing in horror at the sight of a vagina will in no way push forward progressive debate. This crass venture serves only to perpetuate these regressive opinions.
It reflects an unhealthy preoccupation with body parts so often the subject of misogyny and transphobia.
Having witnessed many incidences of unsolicited intimate touching of women and trans people by gay men, I can testify to the existence of misogyny in gay culture. All too often, such behaviour is excused on the grounds that the man concerned “isn’t getting off on it”.
It promotes the idea that breasts and vaginas are objects of curiosity, of novelty, to be dehumanised and detached from the human being for sport.
The pantomime misogyny in the disgust expressed at the sight of a vagina or the mere prospect of contact with a breast may seem amusing. However, it only serves to rationalise misogyny prevalent among cisgender gay men. One man says ‘I feel like I’m going to smell tuna’ – case closed.

I thought about this too? Why are they acting as though there was only a gays-touching-women experiment when there was a lesbians-touching-men one as well

I was gonna comment about that, but I just remembered despite the fact that I didn't watch either videos the comments on seemed to show that the lesbians were receptive and had fun with it whereas the gays acted disgusted and grossed out.

They aren't, as it was mentioned in the article. Clicking the source link can be beneficial.
In any case, men are not nearly as reduced to their genitals as women are and from what I've seen, the lesbians did not treat the men with pure disgust, like the gays did. Let's stop shifting focus and talk about the issue at hand.

Because the purpose of this thread is to discuss the display of misogyny among gay men in a certain video, that comment wasn't initially directed at you, but again, focus on the topic at hand.
Ok but why are we supposed to sympathize with the oppressors?
Women throughout time have oppressed gay men and women
Sorry but i have no sympathy and could give a **** what my oppressor thinks
