I've had the female version of this in that most of the people I've come out to seem to conflate what I'm saying as "I'm just a whore who will get off with anyone to gain male approval". Like if you're a bi woman you're essentially straight, and your same-sex attractions are just a bit of fluff to titillate the men you are obviously more interested in.

Seems for bisexuals of both sexes, our attraction to males is taken as being the serious one, and our attraction to females viewed with suspicion!!

Why do you guys think this might be? Some kind of subliminal misogyny?? Or is it that monosexuals might be genuinely intimidated by us? As in, with straight/gay there always exists a sex where there can only be platonic feelings – but that's not true for us. We can literally fancy anyone (standards permitting obviously) – and maybe that's a fundamentally frightening idea for monosexuals?? Like they lack the imagination to understand the appeal of both sexes so they just assume we're delusional or outright lying?
