Why is Male gayness "worse" than Female Gayness

[nima55]

As a Lesbian myself, I hold no ill will towards gay people, but recently I've been noticing that in most media, It is more acceptable for a woman to be gay that it is for a man. For example the possible relationship in Mass Effect (No I love those games. I'm not criticizing them). Can anyone think of a reason this might be =/ ? knowing myself this is probably something that everyone noticed ages ago lol.

Because a lot of media panders to straight males and they think lesbians are hot while gay men are gross and possibly intimidating. Maybe I'm oversimplifying it, but that strikes me as the obvious answer.

Men are perverts. Thats why. Two girls to them is appealing because they foolishly think they could one day be involved perhaps. Maybe some realize they cant but like to see.

Sad but true. We men have a little growing up to do still.

Too much male grunting?

euh nobody cares if people are gay or not gays need to get over it nobody cares...

Because it's not as hot.
Doesn't make the critics right.

Because lesbians.

No man needs this question answered.

Lesbians are awesome, gay men are icky. It's not fair, certainly, but it's how things are.

 

[UnmotivatedSlacker]

Because people are stupid hypocrites.

This.

Also, straight men tend to find homosexuality frightening. There's this idiotic idea that you can become gay by associating with gay people - which is entirely untrue (believe me, I wish I could turn certain hot straight women gay - mental note, acquire magical gay powers).

Further, I think there are a lot more bisexual or bi-curious men out there who are utterly terrified of their feelings and hide them behind a knee-jerk reaction against anything that hurts their masculinity.

 

[Dags90]

Gay men, particularly effeminate gay men, are gender traitors who give up part of their male privilege. Apparently there's something demeaning about being feminine, whereas it's taken as a given that a woman has to act like a man to be taken seriously in professional environment.

In short, sexism.

Ever get a bit squeamish when you see someone get stabbed with something?

Yah. That's why.

This.
Plus, you can make money off hot girls slutting it up with each other for money.
Also, why do girls get drunk and make out with other girls, even if they're straight?f

lol because they're sluty, being video taped, and want attention lol

(Over-generalisations ahead)

Straight guys like watching girls fuck... but they don't like watching guys do it.

Straight guys hold the majority of publicly influential positions.

Because since the dawn of time two women making out has been hot

 

[NeutralDrow]

That's mainly in media specifically aimed primarily at men.

At large, homophobes don't make the distinction.

I take it you've never met any yaoi fans. Perversion is gender-independent; women are just acculturated to hide it more.

 

[Loop Stricken]

I think it boils down to... men are ugly. :|

Not for you, perhaps.

Personally, seeing two attractive men having sex is pretty hot from where I'm sitting. ^^

It's less hot.
Duh.

See above.
