Bisexual women have been talking about lesbians like that too

In more general sense, sure, I've seen that, but the specific claim that only straight women are able to make is that being a woman attracted to women is a privilege over women who are only attracted to men. And by privilege, I mean they talk about being SSA as if it's some sort of Get Out Of Jail Free card where we're just born with naturally feminist tendencies and have it easy compared to straight women, who have to work at it.

These women see their heterosexual attraction as some sort of handicap to their feminism, while lesbians get the best of both worlds. (Bisexuals generally don't get hit with this as hard or propagate it as hard, because they have both the "perk" and the "handicap".) And therefore, having so things so easy, we should shut up and not comment on behaviors we consider to be anti-feminist self-harm. Does "what happens in the bedroom is private and it's not your place to criticize it, since it only affects me," sound familiar to anyone? Where have we heard that one?

I also take particular offense at the invocation of political lesbianism, which when used in this context functions to accuse us of trying to "convert" straight women. Old and tired homophobic stereotype, and a particular favorite for straight women in feminist circles.

??? Explain what the actual fuck you mean by this. What is wrong with you? If you're going to be a homophobe maybe stick to your argument and try defending it too instead of pretending that any lesbian who takes issue with your argument is just making shit up.

Do you not understand that I was pointing out a specific iteration of homophobia? Did you look at all the things I pointed at and shrug and say, "Nope! Nothing wrong here! She must think I'm against gay marriage!" I'm literally starting to feel less offended because it seems like you don't have the capacity to understand why what you said was wrong lmao

battleczar is calling you an idiot and twisting your words on their blog btw. Some "radfems" really are just here to hate on straight women for something we can't help 😒

Yeah she really is.

What I said: The perspective that (some) lesbians on here have, that female separatism is of utmost importance and anyone who isn’t one is a traitor to all females, is incomplete because they aren’t attracted to men and don’t have to factor that into the equation.

How she interpreted it: I can’t believe girls kiss other girls EWWW marriage is between a man and a woman! I think I’m gonna be sick 🤢🤮

And speaking of Sophia Tolstoy, her diaries are just so depressing. 

“I am to gratify his pleasure and nurse his child, I am a piece of household furniture, I am a woman. I try to suppress all human feelings. When the machine is working properly it heats the milk, knits a blanket, makes little requests and bustles about trying not to think […].“

She wrote this when she was 19, one year into her marriage to Leo and as she was pregnant with the first of his 13 children.

A few years later, when she was 25 or so:

“I am so often alone with my thoughts that the need to write in my diary comes quite naturally … Now I am well again and not pregnant—it terrifies me how often I have been in that condition. He said that for him being young meant “I can achieve anything”. For me […] reason tells me that there is nothing I either want or can do beyond nursing, eating, drinking, sleeping, and loving and caring for my husband and babies, all of which I know is happiness of a kind, but why do I feel so woeful all the time, and weep as I did yesterday? I am writing this now with the pleasantly exciting sense that nobody will ever read it, so I can be quite frank with myself […].“

During her 12th pregnancy she wrote about taking scalding baths and jumping from high pieces of furniture to try and miscarry.  And at one point while reading her husband’s diary (which he told her to read) she found the sentence “There is no such thing as love, only the physical need for intercourse and the practical need for a life companion.” In her own diary she wrote “They ebb and flow like waves, these times when I realise how lonely I am and want only to cry…”

A few years before her husband’s death, she published a cycle of prose poems titled “Groans”, under the pseudonym “A Tired Woman”.

i like to pretend i already died and asked god to send me back to earth so i can swim in lakes again and see mountains and get my heart broken and love my friends and cry so hard in the bathroom and go grocery shopping 1,000 more times. and that i promised i would never forget the miracle of being here

My friends and I used to do this thing where we'd dress up on a theme and go do something totally normal.

We dressed up as pirates and went bowling.

We dressed as vikings and went to the grocery store. The security guard told us we had to move our longship because it was illegally parked.

We dressed as Romans and went to Blockbuster. The staff chanted, "toga! Toga! Toga!" at us.

We dressed up all steampunk and went to the museum. Tourists kept taking our picture.

I make perfumes that smell like blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile. They're not very good yet, but I'm trying to improve my scents of humor.

The secret to the ideal cereal (i.e. crunchy as possible with very cold milk) is NOT to put ice cubes in the milk (gross, waters down the milk) but to use frozen fruit (delicious, keeps the milk freezing cold, serving of fruit nutrients). Today it is frozen blueberries on top of granola that my mother made from scratch for me 😌
