Why do lesbians (real ones) appear angry so frequently?

[janas19]

This is just sth that puzzles me. I am going by just a small amt of people. Like the woman from Indigo girls. And Dick Cheney's daughter.

They frequently have angry faces in photos. So what's up with angry lesbians guys?

Let's see... they have no place in the female heterosexual hierarchy, and we men don't have a use for them unless they're hot 18 year olds who'll let us watch. So it's kind of, "They're accepted because nobody really cares what ugly women do." <--- quite the recipe for general dissatisfaction.
You only see them when they're under fire (or are expecting fire) so the expression is expected.

The particular ones you speak of are lesbians not out of chance, but choice, as in they look that way, thus have no other choice.

But if they are lesbians, wouldn't they not want a place in the heterosexual hierarchy?

Obligatory, "obviously they aren't getting enough cock".

Lol well that's certainly plausible, but there are plenty of homely women out there and dudes who bang them.

Of all the lesbians I knew growing up, only a couple were the stereotypical man-hating bull ***. Most lesbians are quiet, unassuming, normal people. The ones who get attention in the press are the ones who deviate from the norm or people who want to use their fame to advance a specific agenda, which is hardly representative of your typical lesbian.

Ok this makes sense to me. So typically real lesbians are more normal, but the ones who get the most press are the man-hating, bull *** types?

Makes sense.

We're social animals and, given its size and scope, the heterosexual society is hard to ignore.

If everywhere you went you were surrounded by 99% gay dudes, and within that structure you had no purchase to keep yourself above "the shit we scrape off our shoes", are you going to be happy that every single one of them can look down on you like that?

Humans are social animals and we like having a good position. Having the give-and-take being on the level of "the family discount" is more efficient than having every trade be a battle with every penny counted.

They are men trapped in a woman's body.

I wouldn't even say that all the ones who get press are the man-hating bull dykes. But when someone who is already famous decides to come out (Rosie O'Donnell, Ellen Degeneres, Chastity Bono, Mary Cheney, etc.), their career becomes a referendum on their sexual orientation. Consequently, everything they do is viewed through the eyes of promoting a lesbian lifestyle, which isn't necessarily fair, but that's how it is.

Most of the lesbians I know are boring enough that they would make for terrible TV.

Yeah I think you are right, but I suppose if you were an individual who was really certain you were attracted to women, and comfortable with that choice, it would seem other people's attitudes on sexuality would not bother you.

Idk, it must be more complicated than I realize.

Extreme understatement.

edit: lol timewarp, this shit is utterly embarrassing for a tech site imo.

This.

This one knew how to deal with it. :thumbsup:

 

[foghorn67]

It's because men balance necessity and kindness naturally and transparently.
With chicks, it's like a constant mind game. Two chicks in a relationship is a recipe for disaster.
It's difficult enough for one guy and girl in a relationship.
I think gay men are smarter then us straight guys. They seem to bypass drama. (not counting the flamboyant and prissy princesses that call themselves gay men).

This might be the smartest argument for being a gay male I have ever heard.

They are angry because they have to eat tuna when they really want sausage, but nobody will give them any.

The gaywad females I know are usually pretty attractive. That doesn't mean all lesbians are attractive; it means I only hang out with attractive people. I know quite a few of them actually.
-my friend's room mate
-my friend
-my gf's best friend
-my gf's best friend's friend

All lesbians, all cute. 2 of them are of the tomboy variety and 2 of them are girly.

I assume they're the female equivalent of a flamer. Some kind of hyper-masculine persona they wear as a mask. As to why, your guess is as good as mine.

Heh good point!

 

[PhoenixEnigma]

Might be more interesting to ask why you only see angry photos of them. Anecdotal evidence (and I can add a couple more data points) here seems pretty universal that it's not an entirely accurate reflection of reality. I'm guessing the people noted in the OP aren't ones the OP has actually met.

Given that it's pretty well known that media sources have tons more material than they actually use, and take advantage of that to spin things in whatever way they care to, it would seem they get more ad revenue (because, really, what else are they trying to do?) from angry lesbians.

I'm guessing it's not as clear cut as "make teh gayz look evile", but I'm curious why it actually is.

It would help the gay community a lot if more NORMAL men came out of the closet. Lesbians seem like normal people, but every gay person I have ever met was weird as hell.
