I find it really interesting that 11.1% of men identify as gay coming out of college, yet only 1.7% of women do. Those numbers are respectively higher and lower than I would expect. It really speaks to the differences between male and female sexuality, even outside of "normal" heterosexual identity. Any thoughts as to why these numbers are so different? Is our conception of sexual orientation fundamental or just a social construction? I'm endlessly fascinated by these questions. There's so much we don't understand, complicated by politics of heteronormativity and equality.
