why is it hard to lesbian come out in society than gay people?

Question

specially in my contry, Indonesia

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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?

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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