ELI5:Why is it socially acceptable for women to "experiment" with other women but not socially acceptable for men to do the same thing?

There's a theory that homophobia is deeply rooted in misogyny, meaning that males playing a female role and abdicating their societal power is what people find disturbing about male-male partnerships. If you see homophobia like that, you can also see why people who say gay partnerships disgust them don't have a problem with two conventionally attractive women (i.e. women who still look their idealized submissive lady) because that doesn't challenge the status quo.
