It is unlikely that there are more lesbians than straight women nowadays. What has changed is that in Western society there is now more acceptance of alternative sexualities. Historically lesbians married because there was no other option available to them - it was safer to pass as a straight women and it seemed necessary in order to fulfill a biological impulse to bear children. Women were denied the opportunity to express their own sexuality and were viewed as tools for faciliatating men's sexual fulfillment. The feminist and sexual revolutions have changed all that. Some women chose 'political lesbianism' because they preferred to devote their energies to a partner who was mutually understanding and supportive rather than to a man.

As Western women now have greater economic independence and are able to marry one another and bear children by sperm donation many have begun to question what possible advantages there could be to a heterosexual marriage when there are valid alternatives available.

Why are lesbians more attractive?

They are not. This line of thinking is a result of straight men fetishizing gay women because they prefer not having men in porn, for fear of accidentally seeing/being turned on by a penis and, god forbid, having a Gay Moment of their own. Telling people that lesbians are more attractive than straight women is a good way to make lesbians think you're a creep.


Why do we have so many lesbians in this world today?

we have so many lesbians today more than we ever did. a lot of lesbians today are comfortable being with other women. lots of women out there were abused by the men they were with. other women out there know how to treat another woman. lesbians are men haters also. that has a lot to do with it. that will be the reason why men that are good like me will have a very hard time finding a good normal woman to be with. it is very sad the way it is today. these women to me need professional help. it is very obvious that these women never had a man in their life, and even if they had before they did not know what to do. all lesbians should be shot, and they are polluting the earth. we have enough problems in the world today, without them adding to it. they are like the garbage that is all over are streets today. as a straight man that was married twice, i was a very caring and loving husband at the time and never cheated on them. they did cheat on me. i have a very bad attitude about these type of women, and now you can see why. now that i go out again, i seem to meet all the nasty ones instead of the goods ones. god is to blame for this, not us men. there are a lot of men that i know that feel the same way, i wonder why.


Why do Lesbians punish all men when it comes to a relationship when most men care about women and don't like women being hurt WHY?

That's the person, not the sexual orientation. More men than lesbians hurt women so one can ask Why do men hurt lesbians by hurting women etc. Each person is responsible for their own relationship whether it's a man or woman doing the hurting or getting hurt. lesbians don't care what men think just like when a straight man beat his wife, he would care less what a lesbian thinks.

Can a straight woman be attracted to a lesbian?

Sexuality is a spectrum. A person's attraction may have many different ranges. So it is possible that a straight woman might be attracted to a particular lesbian. But if she is always attracted to women in general, or always to lesbians in general, then it's more likely that she is a lesbian herself.
