Bisexuality and patriarchy go handinhand. And while this might sound confusing to people in the beginning, it's very true. For a few examples. For example, society assumed by women are just straight, but by men are secretly gay. Have you ever noticed that when women are bisexual, people often assume that they actually just straight and only buy for attention? This just makes me so sad, because assuming that girls fake being biased for attention while some do, some do, I agree

That the way women are perceived and women are for men and in the eye of the patriarchy. And so women who are by are, of course going to be straight. It's so interesting. So thank you so much. And again, as you said, it's really interesting that depending on your gender, you are either seen as straight or secretly straight and just trying to call or secretly gay. And it's like the fact that you're male doesn't mean that you're automatically gay

It's like the air that we breathe. And unless you're hyper aware of a person that cares or you're operating from your human component, like whether you understand something or not, you know this is a human being. You don't want to hurt this person. It's hard to unravel yourself from these things, or you actually identify with any of these communities in a particular way. It's just, unfortunately, that unfortunate rather than society is really driven by the male gaze

This conversation itself is echoing out to make it safer to just assume that the world is not judging you and boxing you and limiting you. And one person listening to this that Mike feel judged or feel less than embraced by those around them might have more confidence. So it's always super wonderful when we talk about this stuff
