I was discussing this with some lesbian friends a few months back and I thought I was being particularly clever by coming up with “Dutch boy.” Sadly, some googling determined that others had come up with that long before, but at least I feel like I hit a good vein with that one.

In the high school levels at very least, I am noticing a large increase in “dyke mikes”, myself included, apparently. I am hoping that this is showing elsewhere throughout the country, and not just happening in very “liberal” cities such as here in Eugene, OR.

I’m familiar with the process of neuroplasticity, and I’ve also had a keen interest in psychoneuroimmunology.

These two terms seem to have a great deal in common, but I’ve found no literature which connects the two.

I’d appreciate any references,

John

I think there’s a negative stereotype about women who hang around with gay men because a lot of straight men don’t like it. In my experience, straight guys who are insecure or unable to communicate effectively with the women to whom they’re attracted seem to be very antagonistic to anyone of either gender being close friends with a gay guy. I may be a little hyper-sensitive to noticing this, since I find emotional security to really enhance a man’s attractiveness. A straight man willing to learn to knit could almost make me swoon!

In a previous job, I was employed at a very gay friendly company. Many of the friends I made there were gay men and lesbian women. In my (anecdotal admittedly) experience, many of the ‘Fag Hags’ associated with the gay men enjoyed having a male perspective and male friends who never pressured them sexually. Conversely, many of the lesbians I interacted with indicated they had few male friends because even their obvious lack of interest did not stem the unwanted advances from most men. While anecdote is not data, I suspect there is some truth in this (at least in US culture(s)).
