The Mason-Dixon line usually refers to the cultural boundary between northern and southern states in the US. It has played several key roles in US history, one being that it designated the boundary between free states and slave states.
My textbook understanding is that eastern states south of Maryland are considered "the south". Then there is the "deep south". Granted, I've never lived in that region so local perception of the boundary between north and south may be different. I think being southern is more of a state of mind, than a mere geographic line drawn in the sand. Southerners have a reputation for being more conservative and less accepting of alternative lifestyles than other parts of the US.
I'll let others who actually live along the Mason-Dixon line jump in to correct me if my perceptions are off base.

I agree. There definitely seems to be more lesbians and bisexuals in America than other countries and cultures. Could be the openness and freedom to be able to explore and express oneself, along with encouragement by pop culture. Whether it is done for fun or seriously, it is definitely a behavioral trend that is going on.
A lot of women have experimented with each other before all of this (e.g., Marilyn Monroe with Joan Crawford -- eww). Just it wasn't being talked about as much as today. Today it is definitely more talked about, shown, and done than ever in the past.
Yes, you are right.
America encourages more bisexuality than most places in the world.
Well there have always been bisexual men and women before the 90s, just not in the numbers in America as there are today.
The female bisexual movement really exploded at around 1992, as it started to become popular with the MTV generation and it took off from there.
Go back to 1984 and there really were hardly any bisexual women in America. I was only 2 years old then.

Uh, no. In the context she was saying it, she meant below the waist.
You're bisexual, you are just not totally open about it. Not saying that there is anything wrong with you.
If you were a total straight woman, you would not have said that you are "quite" heterosexual.
/lol
No. I have a tendency towards hyperbole is all. I would have no problem if I viewed women in a sexual way, I have friends who are bi and gay. I'm all for opening up the dating pool. Only sexual feelings towards men though.
Thank you JustJulia - that's EXACTLY what I meant. Just trying to be discrete-ish.
Some women just like attention from men in general for whatever reason so they will try to play the bisexual card because they think that's what guys want to hear. That's really all there is to it.
