![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t know if this is true, but I think I’m also left with the impression that bi men are more likely to stay closeted for longer. (The other one is Wolf from Future Man, who I actually really adore as a character.) Another difference is that bi women are seen as “secretly straight,” while bi men are seen as secretly gay. But I can only name two bi men from TV off the top of my head, and that’s only because my partner reminded me of one of them (Blaine, on Glee) today. ![]() I can name a handful of bi women characters from television (usually ethnically ambiguous side characters who serve as love interests to a more important white male character), even if the representation is not very good. One chapter is an exploration of phallagocentrism and bi visibility- how if a man is even a little bit interested in another man, or a penis, he is Gay. Many of the men say they thought they were the only bi men in the world, or at least were the only bi men they knew. Each chapter is also longer, on average, than the ones in Getting Bi. This anthology is similar to Getting Bi, but its content is more focused (just on bi men), and the section themes are different: identity, challenging labels, liminality, institutions, “anger, angst, and critique,” bodies and embodiment, religion and spirituality, traveling, and relationships. ![]()
