Are the Japanese really ok with lesbians?

 

[Myon]

from what I read it's actually way more accepted then two guys being together, which is weird but hey.

So saying your scum of an ex walked out on you right after you signed the lease would be that much of a hassle?

@Myon I think it's based on male chauvinism. There's been a bit of it in Western society too--like, back in the seventies or what, gay-bashing was a much bigger thing than lesbian-bashing. The point is, say you start from the idea that males are superior/higher-status/dominant. OK, so then homosexuality would be seen to involve at least one of the guys taking a demotion to something like feminine status. That lets the side down and undermines male dominance and stuff. Lesbianism doesn't feel like as much of a threat to masculine identity (which, if it's a sexist society, is the identity that really matters).

 

[Myon]

One would hope that eventually all this bigotry of same sex relationships would just die out. I'm not saying everyone needs to embrace it but at the very least just let other people live their lives how they want.

@Purplelibraryguy funny thing is, that led to a gay gang that would go around and beat the shit out of prejudice straight guy that where attacking other gay guys and would get away with it.
