◦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.
