no one wins bc the most unprivileged group at the end can't be particularly happy ab that designation; it reminds me of the time my parents went to buy an RV and the salesperson asked them w/ "genuine curiosity" how it feels to be in the most despised group of ppl in the world. they didn't buy an RV from that person, obvs.

Cast my votes and so far the only outcome that's really hard for me to accept is bisexual << (is less priviledged than) lesbian. Bi (man) << gay man maybe, I couldn't tell you about that, but bi (female) clearly have it better than lesbian women.
― hurricane weather (forapper), Sunday, 29 September 2013 07:46 (ten years ago) link
So you assume that bisexual men don't exist?
― Viceroy, Sunday, 29 September 2013 09:21 (ten years ago) link
i think what she's saying is that as a woman she can't speak for the experience of bi men in comparison to gay men?
i guess the bi-less-privileged-than-lesbian thing might have its roots in the way that people treat the bis like they are faking it? bi people as greedy, confused, inauthentic, attention-seeking; bi women as "actually straight", bi men as "actually gay", etc. so rather than people thinking "they are more privileged because it is super easy to pass under the radar if you're bi" they think "they are less privileged because people think their sexuality doesn't exist."
privilege oneupmanship!! so many levels!!

The article doesn't specify which gender, but I have filled in bi (woman) because they are matched against lesbian (woman) and this is the prelims, so we should be looking along only one axis of privilege at a time. I know that lots of people deny that bi men exist, including possibly the person who made this survey without including a bi (men) VS gay (men) bracket. I don;t think it makes sense to lump bisexual men and bisexual women together.
So yeah c sharp major had it right - I'm not gonna speak for bi men because I don't know whether being erased from the mainstream <i>and</i> the subculture is worse than all the negative stereotypes and discrimination gay men have to deal with.
I think most people in the US acknowledge that bi women exist, though. They might be viewed as promiscuous or unstable or unfeminine/unsentimental (though note that lots of men view those traits in a positive way, too) but they aren't, for instance, incarcerated for crimes at 4x the rate of the general population the way lesbian women are. That's why I think bi(woman) << lesbian.
Obviously I'm taking this too seriously.
