and omg the comment on Elliot's post re: women being naturally more bi or some shit. NO, d00d. NO.
I'm pretty sure if you grew up with media that presented women's view of you as being more natural than your own, and in which women were supposed to be aggressive to the point of not caring about consent, while men were supposed to be passive and polite no matter what, and in which women tended to be bigger and stronger than you...well, then, I suspect you'd be a bit more open to fooling around with men. I know, crazy theory, but I'm sticking to it.
And then there's the whole part where bodies themselves are not the only thing that people find attractive, but also personalities and how bodies are presented. And you know, maybe you don't find agression all that attractive (for possible reasons, see above) and women are always shown as aggressive but men are shown in the kinds of poses that you find attractive, the kinds of poses that are always held up as being sexual, and well...possibly you might not find the idea of finding men attractive to be such a strange concept.
[possibly I really am just innately drawn to pretty boys and androgyny....but I rather suspect this has something to do with it.]
But I'm sure that's all just silly lady talk, and it really is nothing more than genetically determined brain chemistry. Because that makes sense, yes? That's clearly the more logical option here, right?
(and this is assuming the data indicates what he thinks it indicates re: the Kinsey scale, but wev)
