Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

Most people aren't attracted to an entire gender so why do we frame attraction in those terms so much? (slrpnk.net)

That doesn't resolve the question though. What does it mean to be "fundamentally attracted to women" if you're not actually attracted to most women?

I'm attracted to femininity, first and foremost. Femininity is a requirement, and it's not flexible. But then there are other more flexible preferences about specific appearance or personality details I might like in a woman.
