Gender Differences in Orientation

I don't necessarily believe that people are more accepting of women being lesbians because they think it's fine. There is a stigma that men should act a certain way and women should act a certain way but when it comes down to it, women can cross the gender lines and act masculine much more easily. If a man behaves like a women, it is shameful and unnatural. If a women behaves like a man, it is unusual, but acceptable. The fact remains that being masculine is prized more highly than being feminine and leads to people accepting what is considered manly over what is considered feminine. So gay men come off much more shameful than gay women.
