I'm reading a book called Bi: Notes For A Bisexual Revolution by Shiri Eisner. It's taking me a long time because I can't really read it in front of others without getting asked things I'm not comfortable answering.
It's made me think about and feel things I never have before. One of the points I bookmarked had to do with assumptions hetero/homosexual people make about bisexuals; mainly, that bisexual women are presumed to be "really" straight, and bisexual men are presumed to be "really" gay. She pointed out the fact that, either way, the individual is assumed to be attracted solely to men, and goes on to give a spiel about phallocentrism and how even the LGBTQ community isn't immune from it.
