I couldn't find anything on the web to back this up, but many years ago I heard of a man who hangs around with lesbians referred to as a "bent gent."

I always thought that was interesting, that even in a society that embraces different sexual preferences, the language still showed a frightening male dominance, men are "gents" and women are "hags". Scary.

I've never heard that term before (don't know too many lesbians) but I find it interesting that the term refers to the man, as in "he is a bent gent" as opposed to "she is a hag for fags." Hmm, we need a one syllable term for a lesbian that rhymes with a one syllable term for a man...

Hmm, never heard that one either...perhaps a bit vague?
