> So if I understand you correctly, your theory is that closeted lesbians were sleeping with so many men that it inflated the statistics?

Well, it's an effect which would explain the results. It's not really my theory, which is that it's a complex of different things, including several that the author explicitly dismisses without any significant basis (or by citing a basis which seems incorrect.) The homosexuality one is one of them.

Most of the series of things the author asserts affected both sexes similarly (“obesity, porn, video games, social media, dating apps, and wariness re harassment claims”) seem likely not to have done so similarly (that's seems particularly true of both porn and wariness re: harassment claims.)



Have you considered in complex of different things that people like myself are in gay relationships because they couldn't find a female partner?
