I think to myself and I want to get this out here before I forget, that the way straight male culture thinks and operates feels distinct to me. It feels intrusive and uncomfortable for me to think about. Like it being too close for comfort.

Because it's so unwanted by me. I know some women very much appreciate male attention or flirting. But I find unwanted attention from men I don't know to feel intimidating and uncomfortable. I know that for me, the assumption that I'm waiting to be picked by the right guy by guys themselves, it's like, thanks but no thanks.

I think when any woman whether straight or not, chooses to not partner with men, it's like she has to justify her choice. Or they'll try to say, oh she had a bad experience with men, or has trauma, or she'll grow out of it and its just a phase (crushing on girls) or you just dislike and hate men.

I know that there's the term, compulsory heterosexuality. I agree that there is pressure to couple up with men, and propaganda which idealizes heterosexual romance. Theres so many media, movies, and songs about this. I think that yes there's social pressure to conform to societal expections in the realm of relationships, and in general.

I posted this in queer and 4b subreddits. I suppose I wanted to post this here to see what fellow bisexuals and other woman think. I'd like to read any replies I get.
