Lesbians and tofu chicken salad
June 22, 2008
At happy hour Friday, I brought up a discussion I’d had at lunch. My lunch companion said he wondered why some lesbians are attracted to masculine women. If they like women, why wouldn’t a lesbian only be attracted to feminine women? So at happy hour I was talking with a vegetarian friend about my mom’s tofu chicken salad, which contains no chicken, and realized it probably didn’t sound good to a person who doesn’t eat meat. If you’re a vegetarian, why would you want to eat something that tastes like some kind of meat? Kind of like a lesbian being attracted to a masculine woman, right? I know it’s not that simple. And my happy hour posse seemed to think the connection I’d made between lesbians and tofu chicken salad was a bit of a stretch. But it was fun to discuss, regardless. And Mock chicken salad is actually the name of Mom’s recipe. It really is yummy. And tastes like it has chicken in it. HA!
what about hetereosexual women who are attracted more toward feminine men, i.e., men who listen, men who are in touch with their own and others’ feelings, men who don’t need machines or motors to feel worthwhile . . .
I think those men are known as “gay.”
Actually, I don’t know what food to compare those men and women to.
