    Unavailability to men, real or perceived without monastic levels of chastity is often where the persecution comes in. It tends to be directed towards lesbians, but bi women often face it once they are seen as not partaking in men’s fetishization of them

      Are bi women not seen as available? I mean, are they bi sexual if they don’t consider men as potential partners? It seems to me if they don’t, then they’re lesbians and yes I agree this is more stigmatized by the diseased culture.

        Well my friend’s wife is still very much bisexual despite being monogamously married to a woman.

        Another friend’s fiancée decided to stop pursuing men before she met her wife to be, but she remains attracted to men.

        My two friends in these situations are, like me, lesbians and just not attracted to men, as opposed to choosing not to pursue them for other reasons
