Thoughts? Doesn't this show that lesbian marriage should be legalised, and quickly, with a large majority of women identifying as bi-sexual...atleast so women don't feel forced into marriage with a man when they seem as attracted to other females according to this groundbreaking research.

Dear progressive pat,

Not sure that I buy into all this.

Surveys are to be taken with a pinch of salt.
They're only as good as the researchers doing
the surveying - and probably it depends on
the size of the survey - and who did it represent?

To be useful, survey questions must be put in a
straightforward, unemotional language and must be
phrased so that all respondents will understand them
in the same way. The question, "Are you religious?"
is almost useless because it will be interpreted in various
ways by different people; it is necessary to ask more
specific questions about church attendance, belief in
God, and so on.

Respondents may also give false information, particularly
in face-to-face interviews. Finally, surveys rarely permit
in-depth studies of social behaviour, and they can be
expensive.

Most American social scientists are well educated,
urban, white, middle-class,and they naturally tend
to interpret reality
differently from people who don't share these
characteristics. Their background and interests,
for example, make them significantly more liberal
than scholars in other disciplines.

Inevitably, then, they like anyone else will be guilty
of some measure of bias - often unconscious to
interpret facts according to one's own values. This
problem occurs in all sciences, but it becomes
particularly acute in the social sciences, whose
subject matter often involves issues of deep human and
moral concerns.

Dog whistle much?

Isn't it more about people being able to live a 'normal' life being accepted for their sexuality as much as any other freedom we take for granted ie. religion, freedom of speech, freedom of association.

I suspect many of the older women who have left their marriages for a woman, are finally coming out of the bi-sexual/homosexual closet to which they were imprisoned by social pressures and these so called 'norms'. There are many men who have left marriages after coming to terms with their homosexuality, why not women too?

This is a baiting opener IMO, but wait for the stampede of usual suspects.

with the way things are sliding thanks to the secular dogma of moral relativism, havng sex with animals will be seen as 'normal.' No womder so many teenagers are committing suicide with such warped thinking as lesbian being 'normal'.

IMO from observation and a rich life, from pre pubescence girls feel comfortable in physical and emotional interaction with other females and girlfriends, they kiss cuddle and hold each other without a sexual context. During and after puberty as they sexually mature the transfer to sexual interaction is an extension of existing behavior but with a psychological driver. They are literally socially groomed for sexual duopoly.

Whereas boys keep physical interaction to a minimum and even when emotionally driven it is usually displayed by rough housing or some form of vibrant interaction. Emotionally boys transfer nothing to each other in comparison to girl’s interactions, so to start from scratch at fifty it is a big learning curve and pretty alien to the vast majority of males.

Re post menopause dykes, why do a large number of them grow a disdain for men? The boys on our team who play faggoty still love you girls.

Sonofgloin I think it's a disappointment thing.

I believe women have much higher expectations than men. They have been fed the idea that a husband, children & a nice home will bring them fulfillment.

Perhaps it's all a cruel joke forced on them by their animal instincts, what ever, they do seem to fall for it.

Suddenly they find themselves no longer young, they have paid their dues to the dream, the man, kids & house, but they find themselves empty, there is no fulfillment.

Obviously this can't be her fault, so it must be his. There are tens of thousands of these souring middle aged women, with nothing to offer their men, or themselves. These are the ones ripe to try something else. After the new carpets kitchen & bathroom all failed to give a lift, why not try a girlfriend?

The bloke never expected much, a nice car, a tinny, that he never uses because the family aren't interested, & some stubbies in the bear fridge, what more could you expect.

He can't help her, as he can't understand her problem. He can't imagine what else she expects, & she can't tell him, when she doesn't know herself.

Monogamy just don't work, how did we ever fall for it? While women come out of separation quite comfortable, I think we will see more lesbianism. I wonder what the family court will do then?
