Status Updates From Bi: The Hidden Culture, His...

Getting stuck in the science chapter... I understand that looking at all perceptions of bisexuality is an important part of the historical AND current discourse. Emotionally, however, it feels totally irrelevant to explore WHY bisexuality exists, especially through science. We exist—is that not enough?

Maybe im projecting and my biases are showing but I am struggling to accept the scientific POV of this.

This is bad research quality and it's not okay. Shaw: "as for bisexual women specifically, [Ellis] argued they made 'great religious and moral leaders'". Ellis: "great religious and moral leaders

Shaw quotes Ellis as saying that bisexual people are the "leaders of mankind" but that phrase only appears in his book when he is quoting someone else (Edward Carpenter).

Stylistically disastrous, "in this essay I will...", keeps referring to historical information as "sexy", "adorable", "wild", etc. Just hard to view the author as an academic considering the poor quality of her scholarship, conclusions, and presentation. Will grit my teeth and attempt to persevere.
