Random gender thing

It just occurred to me: I know basically nothing about mainstream het female culture.

I was just thinking that virtually all of the friends I've had in the last ~20 years have been some variety of queer or non-muggle. The only thing I know about average straight women is what I get from the media. I mean... I know some straight women, sure (hi!), but most of them are fandom/alterna sorts and therefore don't really do the mainstream girl thing themselves.

K is probably the only more-or-less "normal" straight woman I know, and that's different because she's practically my sister, and she's more than a bit of a tomboy anyway.

Most of the guys I know are queer or geeky, too, but I've known a lot more average straight men than women, and therefore their culture isn't as much of an unknown.

No wonder I feel so weird when I'm forced to have social conversations with straight women. They're basically an alien species to me.
