Help, for a school project?

In my theatre class we're studying stereotypes, and I have lesbian as mine, as in the stereotypical butch lesbians. We're supposed to research the origin of these stereotypes and how they began, do any of 당신 have any ideas?

I've actually been researching this a little bit myself. The stereotypes bug me, and I'm trying to figure out how they started. One is that all 레즈비언 are vegetarians. Also, that they always own a bunch of cats.

I don't know about the 고양이 one, but the vegetarian one is possibly because 레즈비언 don't eat "meat", so the word "vegetarian" became interchangeably used with lesbian, which made some stupid peope confused...I don't know, that's a complete guess.

One of the most ridiculous ones I've ever heard is that female Gym teachers are all Lesbians. Not sure if this really applies to your study, but it's one that just bothers me. Not sure the origin of it, but maybe since 레즈비언 are stereotypically "butch" and all that, and since being a Gym teacher is a physical, tough job (a stereotypical job for a man), it kind of ties up with eachother.
I'm probably wrong, so if any knows the realy origin, please correct me. xD
