I believe that a lot of people do not take lesbianism seriously. It's becoming almost expected, at least here in America, that women are "bisexual". I know a lesbian couple that has been together for eight years and their families *still* expect them to get over it one day.

Just from my personal experience, but I've seen a lot of men who think they can convert a lesbian. :| I guess they think they have the all mighty wang of change. You don't see women openly admitting that they are trying to convert a gay guy....but I think a lot of women do desire it.

I guess it all just comes down to men as the dominant group.

because in indonesia, its a country that islam is the majority..
as you know that islam think that women is a second class people ( u may not have a women leader in islam, women must cover whole body, women must stay at home, man can marry many women, etc.. ).

i suggest u to move out from indonesia, why don't u live in singapore or australia?

Because the idea that women must have children is so ingrained and pervasive. Men are less necessary.
Because the idea that women need a provider and protector is also ingrained. Men are expected to take care of themselves.

In many societies, women are second-class citizens and do not necessarily have the means to support themselves. In countries where this is not the case, it is easier to come out.

Because of all the homophobes and bible thumpers its hard for young people to be themselves openly.
