Straight WOMEN, do you feel unfortunate to be attracted to MEN only ?
I have read this quote frequently online :
>"Straight women are the best example that sexuality is not a choice"
What does this quote imply ?
The way i interpret it seems as if it is really unfortunate to be only attracted to men. How awful it must to be attracted to male gender. Which i believe is abstractly called as Heterofatalism.
On reddit , i saw post in feminism sub which stated " it amazes me how women still chose men " and the quote i stated had the most likes on it
I would like to ask straight women here (replies from bi women welcomed) :
Do you dread the fact that you are only attracted to men ?
If you could choose your sexuality would you still choose to be attracted to men out of your own free will ?
Can it also be extrapolated to the fact that women as people have to care about Mental health of MEN (i.e men showing emotions ) is not because they care about men as a gender but because they do not have other choice of pontential partners to choose from another gender ?
I think : Given the fact about wide spread violence against women i would not be surprised if that's the case and straight women feel stuck with men.
Also rarely do i see the Physicality of men being praised.
I have always seen how even straight woman state the fact that they really admire the body of a good looking woman without being attracted to her as for lesbian/bi women i guess it's a given.
But I have seen close to negligible amount of women admire male body for what it is : women get attracted out of biology but it was always because the man had good personality (something any woman can have) which made him physically attractive as a partner but I never heard praise for the male body in eyecandy sense.
Which now leads me to think , People only tolerate the Male gender because men hold higher executive position (thanks to years of PATRIARCHAL system) where people are forced to work with Men because they do not have another choice like in corporate company you have to listen to your asshole Boss because otherwise you will scrutinized and fired , which in women's case such as lesbian, bi women , straight women results in higher wage gap , stereotypical behaviour, abilities being questioned etc.
Logically,No one actually wants Men in their lives beyond the convenience that come with them due to make privelege , yeah now some of you may say that is incredibly preposterous and insulting to women married to men but the point I am trying to get at is that straight woman will rarely choose men from their own will if they had fluid sexuality rather because being with a man in relationship yields nothing to them
so can it be said that straight woman are in relationship with men Because there is no other option of gender for them ?? Whereas lesbian relationship is because they actually like the other SO ?
I firmly believe there are more nuances to any situation that is I am open to new critiques and Idea, which is the whole point of this post. I have also internalised beliefs that "men truly don't have any value beyond the resources and convenience that come with them because of PATRIARCHY, remove it and no one would bat an eye at this gender , i know that it's wrong but i cannot shake this belief either.
I want input of straight women !
Please if you are man reading this do not post a comment unless you want to reply to a comment made by women !
