that's not so uncommon, even in porn today some girl shlicking each other considered more or less "normal" while dudes blowing each other less so. or how it's ok for girls to have certain "experiences" in college while saying you fucked a dude will always get you weird looks at best.腐女子 (fu-jo-shi) literally means "rotten woman" as in, 腐 is the kanji for decaying/corruption/degeneracy.
Surprisingly enough, I assumed the male counterpart of the term (腐男子 - fu-dan-shi) would be the reverse, but it turns out that those men are "rotten" for liking male homosexuality as well. Basically, it's a-okay for anyone In Japan to enjoy lesbianism (aka Yuri - 百合, also a flower's name), less so in gay men (more commonly referred as BL aka Boys Love).
I assume it's a gender/role perception thing in how women are seen and treated, remember girls are pure and idols are seiso, everything's ok as long they're not near any penishavers.
