Or perhaps they are there to show that just because the Almighty Lore says something doesnt mean that everyone falls into step with it.
I agree with you on this... if males are few and far between in your species, you're going to find love and companionship with the same sex. Daughters and the occasional son are probably raised by their mother and her female-mate-wife-husband-lover-whatever (lol).
Speculation again, but I like the idea, and it logically fits in with the snippets of lore we were given.

And I also think bisexuality among females would be so commonplace that they wouldn't even require a word to describe it as anything different from the norm as we do. This promiscuity doesn't mean they would go about trying to lay with as many people as possible, or be vulgar, shallow, or shy away from emotional connections. I just don't think they'd have the same ideas about exclusivity or marriage that more contemporary cultures do, at least not until those ideas were transmitted to them from other cultures. Simply from the fact that there are just not enough males to go around. If you'd rather call it them being polyamorous rather than promiscuous, that's fine, that word might have a more positive bend to it.
