Exactly. Most men (and het women) expect men to be central to the lives of women, central to everything in fact. It is treatening to most people to see one self-sulficent self-identified women, and it is even more disturbing to see two of them together. SOOOooo, people come up with myths as to the real REASON for lesbian relationships and to the interaction in them. Noone seem to think of the REASONs behind het relations, eg "Why am i heterosexual, oh, I guess i hate the other sex and so does my partner. how clear it is to me now!" 8^) -kaveh
