Accounting for margin of error it may be more accurate to say there are roughly equal numbers of self-identified gay and bisexual men. Even still, this looks very little like the trend for women and would seem to go against the common idea of how people are distributed along the sexuality spectrum. Why do you guys think this might be?

    Toxic masculinity, imo.

    Being a man that sleeps with men makes you less of a man so fewer men are willing to admit their own latent bisexuality.

    It is more socially acceptable to be a woman that sleeps with women, so more women are willing to own up to it.
