Lessons From Snooki On Sexuality

The stars of Jersey Shore are said to be stupid, but I think Snooki might be on to something when she says "Men don't know how to treat women and that’s why the lesbian rate is going up in this country."

There are two competing PC narratives about sexuality. The one, sexuality is fluid, we're all a little gay (or presumably, straight). The second, sexuality isn't a choice.

Obviously there exist total straights and total gays, but there are also a number of people somewhere in between. I wouldn't be surprised if among this number, many are retreating to their own sex and increasing the lesbian rate.

Unfortunately I can't remember where, but I read an interesting critique of homosexuality ("Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" is not an interesting critique) once. The author argued homosexuality was basically narcissism. While men and women in heterosexual relationships are forced to learn to accept and love otherness, homosexuals are both literally and figuratively engaged in mutual masturbation.

Since our culture teaches us that otherness is a myth and differences are socially constructed, many men don't know how to treat women anymore. By the same token many women don't know how to treat men, but progressive bromides aside, the onus is still on men to take the initiative. When we take the initiative as if we were dealing with a member of the same sex (aren't we are taught men and women are the same?), we fail and so heterosexuality fails.

Being gay is easier than being straight. The social stigma is made up for by the fact that it is incredibly to meet people and have sex. As Stephen Colbert says, men know what men want. If I were bisexual, I'd certainly err on the male side, because that way less miscommunication and head games lie.

As it stands I'm hopelessly straight. Yet by all accounts, females are more fluid in their sexuality than men. So surely it's reasonable to suggest more women are becoming lesbians due to a combination of male ineptitude fostered by cultural delusions of equality and the general narcissism of the times.
