Are men generally offended by being called gay? I'd say most are.
Anyway my point wasn't if being called a lesbian is offensive (I understand women that much), but whether that particular euphenism is likely to get me torn to shreds by furious feminists. I study English, you see, and I'm frequently the only male in a room with up to 20 sharp-clawed females. I'm forced to make life-or-death choices in diction on a daily basis.
