"Society" has taught nothing of the sorts to women. What we sometimes see in movies/tv-shows, is two RANDOM women kissing, and that might be hot to some.
What standards you go by is of your own doing, but I wholeheartedly disagree that it's something that is pushed on women.
I'm more worried about the fact that you called the partner in this "socially awkard"... Like seriously, what kind of mentality is that?
