Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, I can see how that view would lead to a particularly disapproving take on Mary Renault's bisexuality. Here's a woman who is demonstrably capable of loving other women, and rather than make the morally praiseworthy choice of committing herself to having significant relationships only with other women, for the first fifteen? twenty? years of her relationship with Julie Mullard, they BOTH keep having male lovers!
