Some lesbians are lesbians because they love women.

Some lesbians are lesbians because they love women. Some lesbians are lesbians because of politics.

Political lesbians are the fucking worst.

@burnoutqueen

What do you mean? Political lesbians.

[burnoutqueen@todon.nl]

@rad

Straight women from the second wave of feminism who perform lesbianism for political reasons.

@burnoutqueen

Huh. I mean, is it bad to just dislike men because most of them suck? Like, I'm mostly hanging out with women and the dating market is terrible for them.

@burnoutqueen like, most of the girls I know were assaulted at least once. Or coerced into sex. Or had sex and were informed afterwards that the men they slept with were only in for it and just ghosted them afterwards. Or were total pricks. Or cheated. Or all of the above. It's grim.

Is it really strange that women try with other women to avoid that shit? I'd do that, if I were a woman.

Just throwing ideas.

@rad

I definitely get it, but I'm just fed up with the legacy of white feminism in general and I'm kind of soured on it. Especially because a significant chunk of them would classify me in the category of men and harass me for it

@burnoutqueen

Oh yeah. That's kind of an issue. I'm sorry for that.

@burnoutqueen@todon.nl 'political' and 'spiritual' lesbianism have always been kind of a weird offshoot of radical feminism. I have a lot of old friends in the lesbian community, and these things have always been more theoretical the material, The number of actual 'political' or 'spiritual' lesbians who exist in lesbian communities is vanishingly small.
