Suoranaiset

Suoranaiset is a Finnish term that translates literally to "straight women." It is generally used to refer to heterosexual women, distinguishing them from women who identify as homosexual or bisexual. The term is straightforward and descriptive, commonly employed in everyday conversation and media to identify a woman's sexual orientation.

The usage of "suoranaiset" is primarily linguistic, serving as a simple descriptor rather than carrying significant social or cultural weight on its own. It functions similarly to terms like "heterosexual women" in English. In contexts where sexual orientation is relevant, such as discussions about relationships, dating, or social demographics, the term may appear. However, it is not a term that is typically used to define a group's identity or to rally around a particular cause. Its prevalence is linked to the broader cultural context of discussing sexuality in Finland.
