Our society is so gender specific that anything feminine that a man does makes him susceptible to being called gay. But when a woman does masculine things that are dominated by men such as lift weights, play football or race cars she is often not accused of being a lesbian. Why is it that its socially acceptable for a woman to kiss another woman without consequences? A lot of the times in shows like Jersey Shore, Bad Girls Club or Real World girls kiss each other all the time and their sexually is never threatened. Girls kiss their girl-friends and it is not in a sexual context so no one pays it any attention, its just girls being girls. Actually a lot of men enjoy when women kiss each other, do women enjoy when men kiss men? I don't think so. It is not socially acceptable for men to kiss each other because it is viewed as un-masculine and gay. In my opinion lesbians are more "accepted" than gay men because more people have a harder time accepting why a masculine strong man would want to be with another man.
