Why is there so much verbal and physical abuse towards gay and bisexual men but not so much against lesbian and bisexual women ?
why is it so acceptable to be a bisexual woman but not a bisexual man ?

Now that's a tricky one Jacs. I have not had any verbal abuse about my bisexuality on here and I am sure that no one would dare if I met them face to face. I think women are more tolerant about sexuality than most men. I also think that most men think bisexual means that you are camp in some way. Then there is the rather large amount of men on here who say they are straight and then contact me and other bisexuals asking for a meet. It gets even more confused when you bring TV's into the mix. Sorry I am rambling here. Abuse of any kind towards bisexuals or indeed of anyone is not acceptable full stop. |

In my opinion the majority of venom towards gays and lesbians comes from the male sector, there is a smaller sector of women .
I think that men feel aggrieved that lesbians do not find them attractive, and I am not sure what makes them aggressive to gay men, and can only assume it is pure ignorance.
When it comes to Bisexuality, the majority of men are all for women being bi, and would love to watch it. and find it a turn on. ( Tom does ) lol !
We have Gay friends and one or two in the family, lol! so are fairly open minded and do not understand the violence and feel that anyone who is violent to anyone Gay / Bi / Straight should be punished in the same way that the offender offended.

Could it be that some males pick up their hostility toward bisexual or gay men from their parents?,when i was growing all bisexual or gay men were classified "bent" and therefore considered fair game for a kicking at any time. Being mindful that this was is the 70,s and even the police turned a blind eye to it, maybe these days some males feel insecure around gay or bisexuals because they have the idea that they will hit on any males in their vicinity. |

I think the problem lies with perception of gay men. They are perceived to be camp. Clearly that's incorrect most of the time, but somehow that peception threatens some straight men. Perhaps it doesn't conform to their idea of what a man should be in some tribal way. I don't really know.
I have to say I have loads of gay friends, and I am always slightly flattered when they forgot I'm straight and try and pull me. I was taken to a gay club (for the first time) last summer and it was a great night out and it was the most unthreatening environment I could imagine.
With regards to lesbian/bi women, I wonder if there is a section of the male community who gain their entire knowledge of the subject in porn?
We're all different and vive la difference!! |
