“they back-peddle once they know your genitals don’t meet their expectations”

you guys realize radical feminism is bad because of the gender essentialism, right?

occasionally, we all need to do some internal reality checks. step back from ideals and activism for a few minutes to actually see and understand the women in the world – the housewives who will never leave their husbands, the lesbians who don’t have a single activist bone in their bodies, the women who can’t understand the point of separatism, the women who swear that they’re happy doing what they do, the old women who spent their entire lives with a man and are therefore too boring for you, the women who never want to work a job, the women who will never have time for activism because they do nothing but work a job, the women who are “stuck in their ways,” the women who have distanced and isolated themselves from any of the other women in their lives…

one day sober: I NEED TO GET LAID TO FILL THE VOID

something tells me it's supposed to feel othering, like a freak show of some kind. or you know, the stories about the other cultures back in the day: japanese people were sexy geishas, native americans were savage killers with a feathered head and a tomahawk and african people were naked drummers. those images stick to your head even if you have been introduced to actual, normal, everyday people from those cultures after the fact, and you will end up feeling like there just is something inherently performative, carnevalistic and weird about their cultures and existence.

i can’t get over that post. like the shocked imagine-if tone. “what if a woman didn’t want to sleep with you because she didn’t like VAGINA!” then she would be straight. this is pretty common. most women are straight. my first crush was on a straight girl and i never thought she was a bigot or mean for not being a lesbian. why does he want to litigate every angle a lesbian wouldn’t be attracted to him and explain why that’s NOT okay and you HAVE to want him. aren’t you embarrassed.

Like, lesbians and gay men have this experience all the time. The majority of people are straight, so of course impossible crushes happen! I have had a crush on one of my close friends for years now, we're very close, she knows my feelings and I have always respected her heterosexuality. She deeply appreciates female beauty, but has no desire to have sex with women. Literally nothing changed in our friendship, I tell her she's adorable and she appreciates my admiration. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever shame her or call her names for her innate sexuality, because I respect her.
