it’s like they heard that thing about how jk rowling was almost singlehandedly responsible for the late-90s spike in youth literacy and decided to become illiterate to own the terves

There's so much hate for gold star lesbians on here but on reddit it's much worse. 20% is people hating us and 80% is people saying how they want to fuck a gold star lesbian or just porn. Yikes

we live in a very misogynistic world, the thought of a woman never having sex with men and having 0 sexual desire towards them is impossible in their eyes

to them, lesbian is “i could have sex with a guy but i just prefer being with women instead”

male attention is worthless and not worth your time

Hard pill to swallow #1: The reason female characters are less engaging and less relatable to you than male characters are isn't because of your gender identity, it's just because they're written badly.

i think the most fascinating thing about about learning you’re a lesbian is understanding in little bursts of memory that you’ve been a lesbian your whole life. if you’re a lesbian, you were a lesbian when you were six months old. you were just a lesbian baby. that’s just how it is. you were a 7-year-old lesbian and a 12-year-old lesbian and a sophomore in high school lesbian. you have been a lesbian in every facet and niche of memory you have. wow

Didn’t Aristotle say that women are “deformed men” (Politeia)? DIdn’t Otto Weininger say that  “no men who really think deeply about women retain a high opinion of them” (Geschlecht und Charakter)? Didn’t Arthur Schopenhauer say that women are “childish, frivolous, short-sighted” and that they are “by nature meant to obey” (Über die Weiber)? Didn’t Thomas Aquinas say that “Woman is subject to man because in the male reason predominates” (Summa Theologica I)? Didn’t Augustine say that “he [man] is by himself the image of God”, whereas women are “merely man’s helpmate”?

I could go on but I think this should suffice for now. The point is that these are the “great men” that have been profoundly influencing Western thought for thousands of years and are quasi-worshipped for their supposed “genius”.

But then, somewhere along the line, one Valerie Solanas comes along, writes one little satire where she doesn’t talk about men in particularly favourable manner and suddenly she’s The Devil?
