I think its a social construct. Sexual orientation is born in, to a degree. Some people are going to be purely straight or purely gay, a lot will be on the spectrum. Women who float around the spectrum are way more accepted than men. That acceptance is a social construct which is rigid. Plenty of women consider bi men tainted, and I have heard that gay men often have major disdain for bi guys, telling them to pick a side or that they are just partly in the closet and need to be all the way gay. Women don't have that same pressure. Most guys seems love lipstick lesbians, (two chicks at the same time dude!) or consider it not real sex if a dick isn't involved. Lesbian women might be just as accepting, I'm not really sure on that one.
