its that whole lipstick lesbian thing thats supposed to be so chiq now ... like the girls kissing in clubs.
its all done for shock value ..none of these girls are lesbians .. its just a big tease .. like the 'porn star' tshirts.
as far as double standards go .. well the media is all over the gay men thing too .. will and grace ..queer eye for the straight guy ...
apparently all gay men are funny and a riot to be around and all lesbians are beautiful. The world loves cliches.
but this shock value stuff isnt any different from the kids showing up at school dressed like little brittney sluts ..
or the kids that dye their hair blue or the mohawks or anything else the mainstream finds extreme.... its 1/2 emulating the culture heros and 1/2 rebelling against parents and society norms in general .. something the kids have been doing for 50 years.
Girls tend to rebel a little harder ... as they are naturally repressed as part of the conditioning process ..
(be a good girl ... say no, etc) which stems from the 'bad girls are sluts' and 'you're gonna get pregnant' fears. Guys dont get this treatment and instead the double standards are encouraged.
Anyway .. when you see these t-shirts and crap at school .. its not so much the kids .. they're always pushing the envelope as part of the growing and experimentation most kids experience ..
its the parent or parents that have given up and are losing the battle that are the real ones to blame.
Especially single parents who are having a tough time coping with their own lives and work and paying the bills without having to fight a battle for every little thing that comes along.
that being said ... fake or not ... girls kissing is pretty cool :)
