What is a man (a non-comprehensive list):
Frolicking in a field at dusk
Peeling paint on an old house
The smell "Clean Cotton" as a Yankee Candle® candle
Sunflowers facing each other
Embers left over after a bonfire
A threat to the security of Nebraska
Your lungs filled with winter air
Accelerating your car before a turn
Old 50s music about a man's love for his woman played on a turntable
Cracked mirrors
A miserable pile of secrets

i know she's got that evil villain lady smirk during every second of her screen time but tbh in my heart she did nothing wrong. like sure her she's a little cut throat but that's just what her industry is like. she's a lesbian girlboss flirting with another lesbian girlboss and i support her.

A new lens on sex positivity
" Whenever sexual activists advocate for "as much sex as you want," it is automatically assumed that they mean "a lot of sex." In both female and Queer communities, being sexually repressed is a symbol of a time before freedom and a reminder of why we need progress. In the past, not having sex life that is active, dynamic, and expressive made me feel a like a political failure. As a Queer woman, having sex didn't always seem like my private business but rather a way for me to express, perform, and embody the liberal politics that I agree with.
Not wanting to have sex, then, didn't just make me feel childish or passionless — it also made me feel like a social and political failure. When being sexually liberated is equated to being sexually expressive, new rules are put in place, and the idea of having "as much sex as you want" shifts from being freeing to being restrictive. "

you can tell when you hear people talk about bisexual women that they don't care about the desires that they have for other genders that aren't men. bisexual women have to focus their lives around men. if you're a woman, they'll leave you for a man. they can't fathom not having a man in their life at some point. blatant misogyny, and often from people who claim that they're not capable of being misogynistic.
a bisexual woman could love and date only women her whole life and marry a woman and her legitimacy in the gay community would still be brought into question because she is also attracted to men. but on the opposite side of the equation, she would be devalued as degenerate by the straight population for her desires. never is the autonomy of the bisexual woman brought up, nor her own feelings, she must always fall to the whims of what people say. married to her wife for thirty years, her attraction would still burden her with everyone waiting for the day she'll leave for a man.
bisexual women must all have a pathetic boyfriend waiting for them at home after they leave the presence of a lesbian group of friends, surely. they're tainting the presence of the group with the idea, anyway. and if she's only ever had her one girlfriend since college, well, isn't she just a lesbian, then? otherwise, of course, eventually, she'll abandon the girlfriend for a man.
because bisexual women aren't allowed to fall in love and have a long-term partner. bisexual women are attracted only to the gender of their partner (and of course, you know, men are on top of the stack). if she finds herself attacked in the streets for being with her girlfriend, she can find solace in a man, of course. what do you mean that woman is the love of her life and she can't see anyone else besides her? don't you know bisexual women can replace anyone, everyone, with a man, at any time?
if it's too hard to be with women, she can of course go back to being straight. that's all it takes, right? nothing to it. because the love she has for her partner, or whatever personality her partner has is irrelevant. and how they treat her simply doesn't matter. (bisexual women aren't allowed to complain when a man beats them because they chose that life, of course.) bisexual women don't date for love! they can uproot, unfeeling, from any circumstance, and change it immediately simply on the basis that they have the ability to be attracted to any gender.
violence against bisexual women is always deserved, and always delivered by the man she chose. never by another woman, because that's impossible, and don't look into why bisexual women are assaulted by domestic partners more than both lesbians and straight women, with straight women below lesbians. we can't imply that women who are in relationships with other women would ever hurt them in any way!
bisexual women are banes for daring to step outside of the sexual orientation binary. they're out of line. unable to be tamed by straight men and lesbians alike. so they should keep quiet and don't discuss how any of this affects them, by the way, because it's irrelevant and anyway it's not that bad because they can always find solace in reintegrating with straight society with some random man they spot on the street. their feelings will never matter.
huh. weird how bisexual women have the highest risk of attempting suicide.
