It is called the marketing of deviance, and women like fashion, and if hollywood promotes it they will buy it. Men are not so susceptible to what passes as marketing fashion.

“the guys are such losers? “

WIMPS - THAT’S WHAT THEY ARE.

Society is quickly removing everything, every goal, every reward, every duty, that give normal males points to make them feel good and reward them for being themselves.

The major things are - women taking over men’s jobs, automation eliminating their jobs, what jobs are left they are exporting, and for those they don’t export, they are importing workers (legal and illegal) so there is no reason to study hard - example - engineering jobs are gone to India or China.

Suspect they're Anne Heche lesbians. Eventually it will become like the old Coke promotion, and they'll find they prefer “The Real Thing”.

My theory is to avoid getting pregnant.

“They’re just doing it for attention. It’s not for real.”

Lesbian chic is nothing but shock value - no big surprise here .

I’m in touch with my inner female and she is definitely a lesbian.

Perhaps because you changed the source's title.

"what I found missing in the noise surrounding the Constance McMillen story was any serious discussion of why a growing number of girls self-identify as lesbian or bisexual."

Because MTV says its Cool and Hip!

i suspect the ambiguity of modern marriage and the decline of marriage as a norm contributes a lot to the trend, especially among females.

I did not change anything. I merely asked the poster why the title was changed. ??

In a guy, gayness is a non-survival trait, as it tends to result in no offspring

In a girl, up until this century, bi/lesbian tendencies were mostly irrelevant, in that most girls did not have a choice in the matter of marrying and having to keep the husband sexually satisfied. A few might become nuns to avoid that, but their choices were fairly limited.

Also, girls didn't tend to "experiment" as much. It may be that sexual orientation is susceptible to change in the bi/lez direction if the girl experiences sexual pleasure from another girl at a young age.

“Because it’s chic...it’s “the thing”.”

So true. It is encouraged and no taboo against it.

Because it's chic...it's “the thing”.

It's pure idiocy.

Why on earth would anybody want to define, as the most essential core of their personal being — that is, their own sense of self-identity — in terms of sexual practice? One's preference in this regard does not amount to a hill of beans, does not erase the fact the human beings come in only two kinds, male and female. And the two kinds are "equal" only in the sense that each is equally necessary to the other — at very least in terms of the successful propagation of the human race and its future thriving.

The "preference" people are not in the "propagation business." Which seems to my mind to suggest they think self-indulgence is preferable to taking on real, human responsibilities.

And then they endlessly proselytize their vision, aided and abetted by "elite" academe, the foundations, and the MSM, making it effectively mandatory on the rest of us. So get on board — or else the ACLU, the HRC, etc. ad nauseam, are gonna get you, and make you pay!

Sorry to grumble. Today, a person very close to me, a long-time self-declared Lesbian, advised me that she was, in fact, actually "bi-sexual." And so was her "partner" of over 30 years. Which came as a stunning surprise to me.

Well, that all sounds very lovely, I'm sure.

But what does it actually mean?

Does versatility in sexual practice make one a better human being somehow?

Given the "climate of opinion" of our age, does such question even make sense?

They see shows like “The L Word” and think that’s what being a lesbian is all about, instead it was a show about the male fantasy version of what lesbians are about.

It ain’t like in the movies.
