@Mynona Biological determinism is usually indeed more common among men than women. Could it be because men are wrong, right or it could be a reflect of the fact women are more vulnerable (or better put, adaptable) to environment than men are and therefore this reflects on why men tend to think in terms of biological determinism and women tend to think in terms of environmental determinism. Nothing is just one or the other, its both, the real question is which has a bigger role on certain traits. I disagree with the rest of your post, if anything, most conservatives and "homophobes" claimed sexual orientation was purely environmental, purely a choice and it was the LGB movement the first and only to insist it was 100% biological. The LGB movement pushed the media to convince the public that being gay was even the result of genetics, that there was a gay gene. The LGB movement tried to ruin the lives and careers of people who dared to say it wasnt biological (mind you this was before the T). We now know there isnt a gay gene and genetics play a modest role in homosexuality and heterosexuality, it is NOT a determining factor on whether somebody will turn out gay or straight. Other processes are much more important. There is solid evidence that biology plays a role in sexuality and it isnt exactly a choice for many, we just arent sure yet how much its culture vs biology but *right now* proponents of biology have way more evidence to base their position on than proponents of "its all environment". Lisa Diamond is a lesbian researcher who thinks sexuality (both male and female) is much more flexible than most researchers think, I've been wanting to read her latest paper but cant find it for open access
