Typical 'every women is bisexual' stereotype

These sitcoms like this play on this stereotype that just because a girl is attractive and wild that she somehow can be attracted to other women if tempted. The writers need to turn this around think to themselves, "Hmm... I'm a straight guy, if I got really close to my good friend, would I go gay for him?"

I think in reality, some women will kiss other women at parties just to get attention, and some women really are lesbian, but are in the closet for societal pressure reasons.

That's a stereotype? I think you're referencing porn. I thought the stereotype was that lesbians are all manly women. I like that society is catching on to the fact that you can't tell someone's orientation by how attractive/feminine/masculine they are.

Anyway, it was a funny show.

It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it. RIP Roger Ebert

Maybe not in all cases, but Bruce Jenner is currently making it very obvious.

I don't get that though. Putting your tongue in someones mouth is very intimate and I don't think it's wrong to assume that person is sexually attracted to the gender they're kissing. Not saying I do make that assumption but c'mon...who's forcing them to kiss? Society? No. There's a want there which is why people assume.

Also, I can name more women than not who have kissed or flat out had sex with other women and claim to be straight. It's no wonder people have such a confused outlook on womens sexuality when a lot themselves don't seem to understand it.
