also u know what else gets on my nerves like fuck
homophobic feminists that act like because they are ‘progressively pro-female’ that makes it okay to be blatant homophobics
and then turn around and think they are sooo progressive and revolutionary because they reblog posts about imaginary strawmen like the ‘wage gap’ and ‘mansplaining’
at least the alt-right (or at least the more offensive side) can accept they are racist/homophobic/transphobic rather than work day n night to deny it. hompho feminists put themselves on a pedestal for it.
and as far as hompho lesbian feminists go, most of them deny that lesbians and gays go through different types of struggles in society or will even try to say that the struggle is worse for them. oppression olympics. or theyll defend homophobia towards men because it’s a ‘part of toxic masculinity’ and so it’s not their problem.
homophobia towards women is mostly fetishization by het guys, which is annoying im sure. it usually maxes out at violence towards women who dont want to have sex with someone because they are les, but this is rarer than the cases against gay men (but still a total problem).
the violence towards gay men is usually more consistent, especially in poorer countries outside of america. where lesbianism might be fetishized gayness is commonly feared and denied in comparison.
there is a bit of privilege to being a les in comparison to a gay. im not saying this is something to be ashamed of, im saying dont pretend it doesnt exist to defend your homophobia.
it’s similar to the difference of struggles between mtfs and ftms, which most feminists seem to understand, sometimes too much to they point they become transmisandric to ftms.
whatever, im just tired as shit and ranting outa boredom.
Yikes this post is a mess
having to deal with significantly less violence is privilege, yes
Lesbians don’t have to deal with less violence though? What world are you living in
“60.6 percent of the reported 1,402 hate crime offenses based on sexual orientation were classified as anti-gay (male) bias.” – https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2014/december/latest-hate-crime-statistics-report-released “In 2004, the FBI reported that 14% of hate crimes due to perceived
sexual orientation were against lesbians, 2% against heterosexuals and
1% against bisexuals.” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_violence_against_LGBT_people_in_the_United_Statesthis one
i dont even really know what to say to this because those are valid stats but somethings is not sitting right with me on this
it’s all because the concept of a feminine male is more offensive than a masculine female (not to say all lesbians are masc, or all gays are fem, but it is the average and the stereotype. which i sure as hell fit into or ur money back)
this is also why transwomen are wrongfully assaulted much more often than transmen.
Honestly I feel like you’re just lesbophobic soooo
“Lesbophobia” isn’t real. The term is “homophobia”, and by trying to limit the range of oppression based on sexuality to only apply to women is repulsive. Honey, when’s the last time you’ve ever heard of a lesbian getting dragged down a dirt road by a rope attached to a trailer hitch? Do you even know what they called AIDS back when the epidemic first came into the puiblic consciousness? The “Gay Plague”. Men that have had sexual contact with another man are even prohibited from donating blood or plasma TO THIS DAY because of the strong association with AIDS.
You were given cold, hard facts, and your response was to cry “I DON’T LIKE THIS!”, rather than acknowledge your own privilege as a woman. As a bisexual woman with a gay godfather, I’m not okay with how you want to treat the legitimate strife that he has experienced. You are nothing but a man-hating little girl that desperately needs to grow the fuck up. Not only are you privileged as a lesbian over gay men, but you’re privileged as a woman over ALL men in first-world nations:

It is time to stop believing what you’re being fed on tumblr. It is also WAY past time to stop treating oppression like a fucking GAME. Our community is supposed to be striving for and representing EQUALITY. Fucking ACT LIKE IT.
“Those statistics are legitimate but I’m gonna keep playing victim”. Are you fucking retarded
