In American Film s, lesbians are often portrayed according to the lipstick lesbian stereotype, to be both politically safer and more sexually attractive to male viewers. A good example is Showtime's television series '' The L Word '', which presents most of its major lesbian characters in this way. The term has also been reinterpreted as a derogatory reference to feigned lesbianism - as easy as lipstick to add or remove. (It is derogatory because most people who experience same-sex attraction would be offended at the notion that it is "chosen".) SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
