Maybe this is what a lot of homophobia is rooted in, as well? Like, a lot of dudes, when they hear their friend is gay, react like this:
"Oh. Uh, so, um. Am I turning you on right now?"
It's like they're afraid that the gay dude will turn them into a sexual conquest, and men don't want to be sexual conquests. Women don't either, of course, but society tells them that it's okay. Men are deeply afraid of being objectified.
Sidenote:
This would be the thing I would hate the absolute most if I were gay. It's like suddenly, people think you're this weird pervert who gets turned on by 50% of the human population, all of the time, always. It would suck.

Hm, hadn't really thought about it like that before. I think it sounds a lot more likely than the theory that women are more accepting (of being different from the norm) than men.
saying that women are more accepting sounds like just another stereotype, modern in this case since women were just as unaccepting in the past, so yeah. I think this is much closer to the truth. For the "women more accepting" thing, it might even be a side-effect of how boys are raised to always be right, and girls are raised to give space for boys who are always right.
And I'll give you a gold star because I like how you wrote the whole thing :)
