You learn something new every day
Jul. 6th, 2005 11:35 amApparently there's a new study out that tells us bisexuals, like unicorns, don't really exist. Or something. Amanda at Pandagon sums it up thusly:
A study that purports to offer evidence that bisexuality doesn't exist . Well, at least not the bisexuality that makes straight men uncomfortable--male bisexuality--as opposed to the "bisexuality" that many a young man as you read this is explaining to his girlfriend is the natural birthright of all women, which is why he just knows that she wants to have a porn-a-riffic threesome despite her claims to the contrary. You see, in lab conditions, the Peter-Meter demonstrates that bisexual men found through advertising in gay magazines like looking at pictures of boys more than girls. There you have it--irrefutable proof to all you women married to bi men that you're just a beard. Never mind that it was hard as hell for him to be out as a bi man in our homophobic culture--all our prejudices are confirmed!
