- MCINTOSH: in Western culture, expectation + role of homosexual male= have higher voice + more attention to appearance// Once male has accepted label of 'homosexual', he'll begin to fulfill these expectations/label creates behaviour- link to BECKER LABELLING THEORY
- RICH (1989): 1. women's sexuality oppressed by men/patriarchal society/through institutions (eg. marriage) 2. "Compulsory heterosexuality'- women socialised into heterosexuality to ensure their availability to men 3. Most women born homosexual/men created homophobic view as it's a threat to male dominance
