Here's the facts. More men find girl/girl hotter than guy/guy. Period. More women find girl/girl hotter than guy/guy. Period. That's the way it is as of now. Those aren't stereotypes. That's the way most people view those situations. Now, do some guys find guy/guy hot...sure, as do some girls. When I was describing men and women, I was using that to show why the previous views are the way they are. Guys typically will not find other guys sexy. However, a lot of girls might find another girl sexy. Can you agree? That's my point.
As for open mindedness...sheesh! evidently you girls haven't read my previous threads. When it comes to sexuality, I'm about as open as it gets. I have tons of gay friends and have voted and marched/attended parades to show my support for their need for equal treatment. I also think that sexuality isn't black and white and is meant to be experiemnted with. That's totally different from hurting someone and manipulating them. I don't see this song painting a cold calculating girl out to disrespect the lesbians of the world by luring them into her trap, getting them to fall for her, then yelling "sike! I'm a hetero, stupid gay girl!". I see it as her out with friends having a good time and experimenting with a cute girl. As for her cheating, well, we don't know the arrangement she has with her bf. Still, it's a song. As is "F--- tha Police" by NWA. Both of which I've listened to numerous times, yet somehow I'm able to remain faithful to my gf, respect my gay friends, and not kill police officers. This is a song afterall. It's not a songs place to educate...that's the role of parents, ultimately.
I also wanted to clarify that I didn't mean people shouldn't take their own sexuality seriously. Of course you should. What I meant was sexuality in general tends to be so cut and dry, so in the box. Now, I can also say how I don't care for people making light of homosexual acts. Girls who get drunk and kiss other girls simply to turn other guys on. I don't particularly find that amusing. Again, I don't see that in this song.
Finally, fabae, it seems we're kind of converses of each other. Growing up, in a religious household, sex was a bit taboo, not really talked about, not really "fun", per se, but as I got older and experimented more, I learned that sex is most definitely about fun, but can also be very sacred. Self respect is a subjective constraint and I most certainly am not going to lvie my life and sexuality being worried about what different groups might thing of me. This is my individuality here, and I'm quite secure in my choices. Sometimes those choices were to go out, meet a girl, then have sex with her. Hell, I might never talk to her again, but I was quite up front about that. Some of my choices dealt with finding a girl I clicked with and dating her for a few months. In the end, no matter what you want to say or what you think, it is a game. We all play it. It's how we play it that differentiates us from the others. We all sit there and wonder if we call that guy or girl will he think we're too needy and never call back. Do we wait? Do we pertend we're busy when he/she calls so it gets them more worked up about talking with us? We've all done it, either consciously or subconsciously. What matters is do you play with repsect, or are you out to use and hurt people?
