>> U.S. RESEARCHERS FOUND THAT WOMEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE
BISEXUAL THAN MEN, BECAUSE THEIR SEXUALITY TENDS TO BE A LITTLE
MORE FLUID.
THEY ALSO HAVE SOMETHING ELSE FASCINATING.
ACCORDING TO THE RESEARCHERS, THEY FOUND THAT YOUNG WOMEN WHO
AVOIDED YOUNG MOTHERHOOD AND WHO WERE PHYSICALLY ATTRACTIVE, OR HAD
HIGH LEVELS OF EDUCATION WERE LESS LIKELY TO EXPLORE RELATIONSHIPS
WITH SAME-SEX PARTNERS BECAUSE THEY HAD MORE OPPORTUNITIES WITH
THE OPPOSITE SEX.
THESE WOMEN WERE MORE LIKELY TO SAY THEY
WERE 100 PERCENT HETEROSEXUAL.
THERE'S A LOT OF TALK ABOUT HOW
SEXUALITY FOR WOMEN IS A LOT MORE FLUID, BUT I THINK THE
REALITY IS THAT SEXUALITY IS
MORE FLUID FOR MEN AND WOMEN, BUT THERE'S A STIGMA TOWARDS MEN
AND THERE ISN'T THE SAME STIGMA TOWARDS WOMEN, SO THEY ARE MORE
LIKELY TO EXPLORE SAME-SEX
RELATIONSHIPS.
ANOTHER THING IS, THEY FOUND THIS INTERESTING
COINCIDENCE ñ
>> I REALLY QUESTION THIS STUDY.
IT IS SUPER IRONIC, BECAUSE I
HAVE BEEN SAYING FOREVER THAT WOMEN ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE
BISEXUAL THAN MEN, SO THIS STUDY PROVES ME RIGHT AND I SHOULD BE
DOING A BIG, TOLD YOU.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE STUDY, THERE'S A
LOT OF ISSUES HERE.
RESEARCHERS KEEP TALKING ABOUT THESE
STUDIES, AND THEY SAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN, WOMEN ARE MORE
FLEXIBLE AND ADAPTABLE IN THEIR SEXUALITY, SO THE ONES WHO ARE
REALLY ATTRACTIVE ALREADY GOT THE GUYS, AND SO THE ONES WHO
ARE LESS ATTRACTIVE ARE LIKE, I'LL ADAPT AND BECOME A LESBIAN.
I FIND THAT REALLY OFFENSIVE, RIGHT?
>> YEAH ñ
>> IF IT'S BORNE OUT BY OTHER STUDIES, IT'S IRRELEVANT
WHETHER YOU FIND IT OFFENSIVE, IF IT IS TRUE, IT IS TRUE.
I AM NOT CONVINCED BY THIS ONE STUDY THAT IT IS.
>> RIGHT, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT SHOW CAUSALITY AT ALL.
THEY ARE
JUST SEEING THIS, WITH THE NEARLY 10,000 PEOPLE THAT THEY
STUDIED, THEY SAW THIS
COINCIDENCE HAPPEN.
WHETHER OR NOT THIS COINCIDENCE CAN BE
STUDIED FURTHER TO FIND CAUSALITY IS UP IN THE AIR.
>> IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE MEN ARE THE
REVERSE OF WOMEN.
>> I THINK THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE THE MORE EDUCATED
YOU ARE, THE LESS LIKELY YOU ARE TO STIGMATIZE THINGS LIKE
SEXUAL EXPLORATION.
I THINK EDUCATED PEOPLE TYPICALLY TEND TO BE MORE
SEXUALLY LIBERATED, AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT MY HYPOTHESIS
WOULD BE.
>> I'M GOING TO SAY SOMETHING NEEDLESSLY OFFENSIVE THAT'S
PROBABLY NOT TRUE.
IN MY EXPERIENCE, MORE EDUCATED WOMEN
JUST HAVE LESS SEX, PERIOD.
THAT'S PROBABLY WHY THEY'RE NOT
HAVING
SEX WITH WOMEN OR MEN.
AM I BEING BITTER?
OF COURSE!
I WENT TO SOME THESIS SCHOOLS AND I COULDNíT GET LAID,
CAN YOU TELL?
>> IT WAS THE WOMEN'S FAULT, IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH CENK.
>> OF COURSE.
OKAY, NOW WE'VE WEEDED OUT ALL THE ABSURDITY.
I
THINK IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE, AND MAYBE THIS IS SOME EVIDENCE
THAT WOMEN ARE MORE ADAPTABLE,
AND HAVE A HIGHER PROCLIVITY TO BECOMING BISEXUALS, OR BEING
BISEXUAL, BUT I'M GOING TO NEED
A LOT MORE STUDIES IN THIS.
ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE RESEARCHERS
SEEM TO KEEP FOCUSING ON THIS ONE THING, AND DON'T EVEN TALK
ABOUT IT, AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL, THE STIGMA IN REGARDS TO MEN,
WHICH SEEMS TO BE A MUCH LARGER
FACTOR.
IT'S THE UNIVERSITY OF
NOTRE DAME, THEY'RE PROFESSORS OF
SOCIOLOGY, SO IT'S NOT SOME FLY BY THING, BUT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE
THEY HAVE FOUND A SOPHISTICATED
WAYS OF SAYING THE SAME THING.
