Lesbians not liking men - Social construct?
#38
RE: Lesbians not liking men - Social construct?
Has it ever occurred to you that maybe the reason the straight male-lesbian equivalent to the "fag hag" relationship isn't as common as its gay male-straight women conterparts is not because of the lesbians, but because of the straight men?

Here are some reasons that many men wouldn't enter into such a friendship (and as a straight man myself, I do have the knowledge base to make blanket statements about large groups of straight men):
  • Many straight men simply won't bother with a relationship with a woman who simply will never want to fuck him.
  • Some men will actually try because they seriously think they can make them straight. This, by the way, is impossible. And even if they don't expect it, they may hope for a "show" of some kind (ranging from a kiss to, well, the entire contents of Blue is the Warmest Color.)
  • It's bizarrely common for men to stereotype lesbians as being like either Andrea "All heterosexual sex is rape" Dworkin and the most recent Sasha Grey girl-on-girl-fest with almost no grey area in between.
  • Lesbians are too often percieved as being masculine (some are, some aren't), and some men may feel their own masculinity threatened by this.
  • The very feminist-oriented nature of lesbian culture alienates many men, especially the ones who haven't realised that feminism, in the end, is primarily about equality between the sexes.
  • Lesbians are not often seen as being "fun" as gay men are, so many men think, why bother?

For the record, most of the female friends I've made are either lesbian or old enough to be my mother.
