It is interesting also to observe the sublimation which the heterosexual love undergoes among homosexuals. They endeavor to de-sexualize the other sex, at the same time have recourse to heterosexual friendships by preference. I know quite a number of homosexuals of this class, men who maintain motherly, sisterly, or even grandmotherly friendships and to whom these friendships are positively indispensable. We psychoanalysts are in a position to appreciate the source of these sexual attachments. They are due to repression and are also the result of an inhibition which extends merely over sexuality but allows the _sublimated_ eroticism to manifest itself. Among the homosexuals there are many women haters (misogynists). They often hate all women with but one exception: their mother. Occasionally some sister, aunt, or some friend of their mother’s is also exempted. They never fail to emphasize: this is an exception! But the law of bipolarity teaches us that alongside this tremendous hatred there exists an equally powerful love. Occasionally the dislike is hidden and the homosexuals pose as completely indifferent towards the other sex. A little close analysis shows that this attitude is an artefact, that the assumed indifference really covers the fear that the true attitude will be betrayed otherwise. Beyond the apparent indifference stands the fear of woman and back of that fear there may be hidden, in its turn, a sadistic attitude towards woman. It is thus that the homosexual learns to cover his feelings with one another, to change them, or else he transforms, substitutes, overstresses here and assumes indifference there, until his actual state of feelings is completely hidden from view. Superficial observers merely remark of some man: he hates women!... What stands back of such a dislike has been pointed out by _Bloch_ (l.c.) with considerable insight. He mentions the famous misogynist of Classical Greece, Euripides, and in that connection makes a very appropriate observation. He states: “The strongest invectives against the female sex are found in _Ion_, _Hippolytos_, _Hekate_, and _Kyklops_ of _Euripides_. (_Verses_ 602-637, 650-655.) (Here he introduces the actual quotation.) “These verses contain the whole quintessence of modern misogyny. But _Euripides_ also discloses the ultimate background for this attitude: ‘The most wanton creature,’ he says in a fragment, ‘is woman.’ _Hinc illæ lacrimæ!_ Only men who are not accustomed to woman, men who cannot endure to have her act with them as a free personality, and who are so little certain of themselves that they fear an inroad into their own personality, some irreparable damage or possibly complete annihilation, only such men are genuine women haters.” (_Bloch_, l.c., p. 533.)
