Offered without comment:

Who is going to want to see Downey Jr. and Law make out? I don't think it would be appealing to women.

- Former Post movie critic Michael Medved, re: rumours that there's a fair bit of subtext in the new Sherlock Holmes movie.

But seriously though, I thought we had grown out of the whole "Women can't have sexual interests" thing.

Oh, we can have sexual interests, just only in the kind of things the boys tell us we're interested in, and definitely not something like men making out, because that makes the straight boys uncomfortable (and I have issues with that assertion as well, but one point at a time), so clearly it cannot turn their girlfriends on OR ELSE!

You'd think that people would just accept that boys tend to like girls making out and girls tend to like boys making out. But of course not, because one is far more normal than the other, right?

Seriously! I mean, I understand confusion about "Wait, you're a lesbian, and you're writing gay porn?" because that is legitimately a bit confusing even to me. But "OMG (some) straight girls like man-on-man action? INCONCEIVABLE!" just makes me wanna headdesk.
