Yeah it does happen quite a bit. Ive been called gay for exact same reasons. Even worse, its socially acceptable and people usually laugh about it. I dont thibk ive ever witnessed a man name calling a wiman names, when rejected, but i know it occasionally happens. I think women arent used to being rejected, and men have alot of experience in it. Being able to handle rejection gracefully, is a sign of good character, for a man or a woman.

Wait, I thought women NEVER approach men! So, now we have herds of women approaching men and calling them gay when they get rejected?

Whenever a woman called me gay for turning her down I just assumed she has never been told no in her life. Either way, I was right to turn her down. Grow up and see not everyone has to like you.

Maybe they feel entitled to a positive response, maybe they think that just because they put themselves out there and took a risk that I have to reward them by automatically being interested in them. Now that I have a girlfriend it still happens. They approach me, I politely let them know that I'm not interested, and they call me gay, even if they see my girlfriend and know that she's with me.
This sounds like high school stuff, so how old are you?

Well, I have never been called a lesbian when I showed no interest in a guy. Also, I have never known a WOMAN to call a guy gay because he rejected her. It just seems to far-fetched.

They aren't. A lot of women handle it worse than men.

And some men need to get over themselves, not every woman is going to like you, no need to be disrespectful.........

So many keep forgetting that everything anyone does to someone else is not gender specific.
