'The View' host Elisabeth Hasselbeck shares her theory about older lesbians.

And what an insightful & compelling theory it is!

Clearly, lesbian, bisexual and queer women partnering with other women has EVERYTHING to do with men... I mean, it does make perfect sense. We are living in a hideously patriarchal, heterosexist, homophobic society after all.

Why shouldn't the phenomenon that women partner with other women somehow be rooted in something men are actually choosing for us... because they're leaving us with no other choice...

I think it's a sound theory. Lesbianism has everything to do with men. Thanks Elisabeth Hasselbeck for making that clear.

So... all sarcasm aside... it really is no wonder we live in such a heinously homophobic & heterosexist society when people in positions of influence or power (even when they're really dumb) can get away with making such irresponsible and contemptible statements about us. How long are we going to let the fact that she's an idiot be an excuse for her hateful, ignorant behavior?

Watch for yourself and be appalled.
