Report : "More lesbians than straight women in Singapore, Malaysia".(BM).SINGAPORE: While most observers have discounted the online study of Facebook ads that revealed there are more lesbians than straight women in Singapore and Malaysia, the information does put forward a number of questions.
Flocations, a travel start-up company in Singapore, ran tests on targeting a number of women with Facebook ads and the results were not what they expected, the company said in a press release.
They discovered that in Singapore and Malaysia, the number of “women interested in women” far outnumber those who are “interested in men”. In Singapore, that’s 14,800 to 6,100. The difference is even greater in Malaysia, at 65,160 to 8,480 (with several other parameters added in).
However, the figures in the United States seem pretty normal, with 1.6 million showing an interest in men, while a tenth of that indicating an interest in women.
The company said that “this is not enough information” to determine overall trends, necessarily in the country, but it highlights the ongoing struggle facing women in Southeast Asia, say activists and women’s rights advocates.
“I think there is a lot to the concept ‘women seeking women’,” began Nora Ismail, an Indonesian women’s sexual health researcher based in Sinagapore. She told Bikyamasr.com that a lot of those women may not be lesbians, “but are searching for satisfaction they couldn’t get with their husbands.“And to put it bluntly, they want to be aroused and have good sex. But to look for an affair with a man would be detrimental if caught in society, but with women it is more tolerated,” she added.
Others tend to agree. One Singapore housewife said she has had affairs with other women and that when her husband found out, “he didn’t really get angry. He was more interested.”While the study shows that online, at least via Facebook ads, women in Singapore and Malaysia appear to be searching for other women.Hmmm......Islam is the state religion and most dominant religion of Malaysia.
