I kind of see both sides of this being bi, and I can tell you..its extremely different as dezzy said, walking around holing hands with a girlfriend than it is with a boyfriend. Noone bats an eye when its a bloke. Now, I will admit we only got actual physical abuse once in over a year (a lot of 'lezzer' sneers and that, which I gues count as abuse but didn't escalate so are easily ignored) which is 'good' the over the top sexual comments from blokes was just ****ing gross, the way they seemed to think that just because 2 women were together that meant we were doing it for THEIR enjoyment and they seemed to think they had even more 'right' than usual to grope and stuff. Once we were actually physically attacked by a group of women, but fairly 'luckily' we could both stand our own pretty well so nothing really came of that. From what friends tell me, and what I read though, men together have a very hard time of it in general if they do anything to show they are actually together, generally if they just walk about its fine as other men assume friends, but holding hands, any affection, anything, and the abuse starts. It seems women DO get the abuse too, but it tends to depend on if they are feminine or butch. Which yet again is ****ing wrong.

Went off on a slight tangent there tbh, but..while it might be trolling, a joke, whatever, its actually a topic that seems to crop up a hell of a lot in seriousness, so yeah. Buzzkill Vicky answering seriously

Probably because you don't "belong" to a man
