Thorne and Luria Suggest That "Fag Talk" Is More Common

Thorne and Luria suggest that "fag talk" is more common among boys than among girls because:

A) boys' group interactions are accompanied by a sort of communal arousal that could readily facilitate sexual encounters
B) boys are less likely than girls to be punished for using foul language
C) girls are more accepting than boys of anyone who differs from dominant cultural patterns
D) girls develop romantic desires later than boys do and are thus less concerned with issues pertaining to sexual orientation
E) heterosexual girls are more likely than heterosexual boys to identify with groups within society that are the targets of prejudice and discrimination
