  Very strange you haven’t absorbed this concept yet. “Bi women are straight but bi men are gay” is one of the most common tropes in the larger culture’s conception of sexual identity.

    I don’t mean to brag, but I have an astonishing lack of culture.

    bisexual women are hot

    bisexual men are gross.

    that’s the underlying assumption.

    homosexuality is considered positive/attractive among women, and normalized. a woman doesn’t become less woman for being with a woman.

    however, works the opposite for a guy. homosexuality makes a man less manly, or something.

      Imagine being a dude and caring if people thought you were manly or not.

        imagine being a dude and other people incessantly police your sexuality/masculinity and make comments on it.
