◦Why do you think it's more socially acceptable for women to be homosexual than it is for men?

I feel this concept is more socially accepted because men in society are viewed to be the 'masculine, strong, breadwiner, macho' type and woman to be the 'feminine, pretty, child-raising, delicate' type. Therefore, men having any 'womanly' role is socially frowned upon. Homosexual men usually have some feminine qualities, hence them being attracted to the opposite (same) sex; the man. Heterosexual men like women. I feel they like women so much they find the idea of two women together sexy and erotic. I think the 'lipstick lesbians' are the most socially accepted homosexual couple. It has been considered "hot" for two feminine woman to be together in a sexual relationship and women seem to not find it as 'inappropriate' as if two men are together. Its like the opposite of a man being socially accepted to sleep around and get applauded for his status and a woman called a whore. Unfair, yes. The same in a way applies for the woman to be 'applauded' or accepted when engagng in a sexual act with another woman but two men is more socially frowned upon.

What positive images of female sexuality can you think of in popular media?

Women in todays popular medie who I personally feel display an image of positive sexually would have to be women like Michelle Obama, Alicia Keys, and Beyonce. To name the first three that come to mind. They are all constantly subjected to paparazzi in there way and having their daily lives put on display. However, all three uphold a respectable way about themselves. At times they can dress 'sexy' and be very feminine but never cross the line to where they are overly exposing themselves. Beyonce especially whether in performances or videos has a very sexy demenour but always in a respectable womanlly fashion.

Did Irene push Clare

When I wrote my papaer on the passing I ended it with the contemplation of this particular question...I wasn't quite sure but after loookin over it again I believe she did. She was nervous to come down the stairs , wondering if she was...'dead' and she said something in reference to explaining it was an accident. So was it on purpose? Subconsciously maybe.. She was definetly emotionally unstable due to the affair and the stress of her one time friends life being exposed in the middle of a party she was holding. I am still unsure of her exact intentions at that moment.

Why do you think a sex-related scandal can "ruin" a woman today?

Unfortunately women and sex are not the same as men and sex. Women are supposed to be, according to society, more conservative when it comes to this matter. So a sex-related scandal first off will usually give the woman a negative reputation. Depending on the context of the scandal and how much is revealed about the woman in question and her sex life. Also how normal it is or how 'sleezy' she is being portrayed. If a woman in a high postion is exposed in a sex scandal her reputation automatically is depleted in a negative sense. She is viewed as being non-lady like , irresponsible, and sleezy. So quite frankly it could 'ruin' a woman because she could possibly loose her job as well as the respect of many people around her. Sad, but true. I guess the best way to avoid this is to keep your sex life private.
