its an interesting phenomena isn’t it………always more gay men than lesbians on the forum……same in our chapter meetings…..same at other mixed community organisations or meetings…….why ❓

I’ve searched for an answer for some time now to see what I could do to attract more of our sisters and in the process hopefully become more lesbian sensitive.

It was actually going to be the topic at our next Sydney meeting this friday…..but difficult to organise the girls to do it.

My conclusions.

1. Stats seem to point there are less lesbians than gay men. (this is difficult to evaluate but possibly half)

2. Gay men are from Jupiter and lesbians are from Pluto. this means we are in different orbits and even further apart than heterosexual men (from mars) and heterosexual women (venus). We think differently, socialise differently, do relationships differently, bisexuality is more common amongst lesbians but rare amongst gay men……..what else.

Because we are so different often there is hostility between the two groups.

(not here though) 😀 😀 😀

maybe they cannot relate to a lot of the content being discussed here as it can be majority male (luckily meg comes in to save the day).

I think it would be benificial to also have guys/girls only sections on the forum to discuss gender specific topics.

thoughts??

It is a shame isn’t it? And it’s not just this forum, but lots of other places I’ve seen. A lot of these mainstream gay news sites seem to target their content towards gay men, as many of them include a focus on male sensuality. It seems that just in general, lesbians just aren’t equally represented. Yet in things like the Metropolitan Community Church, most of the ministers are women. So it is a bit of a conundrum trying to figure out why lesbians are represented well in some areas and not others. Regardless, I’d love to have more women on this site, be they L, B, or T. Girls are just plain awesome. You don’t be need to sexually attracted to them to be able to see that. 🙂

are our topics really that gaymalecentric here…..mostly I thought they were more universal except for a couple of theshanes recent posts.

Maybe I’m forgetting something.

Hi everyone

This is interesting. I hadn’t even noticed that there were more men than women on this site and I haven’t found the topics especially malecentric.

And yes, Bryan, girls are awesome! I’m curious to know what do you like so much about them.

Guys aren’t so bad either. 😀

PS I just posted a reply to another of your threads but think it ended up in another discussion that may not make sense. I don’t know how I did that. The one I intended to answer was about inner vs external struggles.
