an observation

[mstislavl]

in TV shows and movies it is ordinary to see a heterosexual woman having a male gay friend. there is a new plot clishe when a man "A" is jealous of another man "B" but "B" is a homosexual and therefore no threat romantic notions of man "A".

but I am yet to see on the screen a heterosexual man and his lesbian woman-friend. I don't think lesbians are antisocial or hate men en masse. rather having a lesbian friend would be considered as undermining of masculinity of the man in question, he is expected to "recruit her to the right path".

На самом деле, это объективно, из-за отношений объект/субъект

Трудно представить, как gay мужик будет домогаться к главной героине (если он, конечно, не acquired gay). А вот близость к лесбиянке, это, собственно, мечта большинства всех straight. Особенно, если лесбиянок >1

так где образы лесбиянок в социальном контексте (а не истории типа "она любит её")? бедные женщины - сидели под веником у мужчин, от мужчин хотя бы в постели избавились, но поп-режнему на третьих ролях.

I don't think so

A relationship like that won't last, because a "lesbian woman-friend" would soon grow tired of constant "I know you said no, but I still want you to reconsider that threesome" suggestions.

No reasonable screenwriter would suggest such an improbable (or, rather, hardly possible and volatile) realtionship. It wouln't feel believable, although again- if you really wanna see that on screen, keep checking those whacky shows on TV... maybe, just maybe...

have you seen "Pretty woman", "Notting Hill" or "Love actually". how probable any of these scenarios? improbability is never an obstacle...
