      Yes! It’s that whole disgusting “two chicks at the same time” trope that allows them to get away with it more, I assume.

        Also sexism. Women can do it because they’re silly creatures who don’t know what they’re doing without a man controlling them so obviously being a lesbian is acceptable. But a man choosing to do those things? He should know better

          To me it also kinda rhymes with the way bisexual men vs bisexual women are often regarded in wider society. “Bisexual men are actually gay” while “bisexual women are actually straight”. So only the part of their attraction that relates to men is taken seriously 😐

          Sexism for sure, in all sorts of permutations.

          Women with a sex drive must be bi. Therefore bi women are hot.

          Of course women can mess around with women, it’s not “real sex”.

          She just needs a “real man”.

          It’s so gross, and makes no sense to me. Guys seem much more situationally indiscriminate, sailors, people in jail, and honestly who cares if their guy is bi? Either you are monogamous and it’s a non-issue, or you aren’t, and your opportunity is wider for fun stuff than with a straight guy. No downside I can see.
