The “Can lesbianism survive xyz????” articles that have been popping up more and more these last few years always seem to be just another complicated way to ask the age-old question,
can women really live their lives without seeking romantic and intimate connections with men? Is there such a thing as a woman who is not attracted to men? Is there such a thing as a woman who really, legitimately wants to build her life with women, who is absolutely sure she doesn’t desire men?
Questioning the legitimacy of women without men isn’t a new topic, but the language used to delegitimize lesbian sexuality is evolving and adapting to new norms.
Misogyny and homophobia haven’t been eradicated, and the intersection of these two experiences (dare I say it…lesbophobia) is something that continues to throw it’s oppressive weight on women who dare claim their sexuality openly. It’s depressing, but at the same time, it’s comforting to know that this is just a different version of the same shit we’ve been dealing with since we started to recognize ourselves and form communities.
Off The Shits pride flag! For when you’re completely off the shits!
The Deep Plum stands for going absolutely hog wild at all times
The Red stands for an insatiable blood lust
The Yellowish Green stands for being a fucking menace with no critical thinking skills
Wow. I’m back on tumblr. Time to post a GOOD story. Here it goes. I lived in New Jersey for Five Years and there was a Nickelodeon theme park or something in Atlantic City, NJ, and that’s also where they held Ms. America pageants and stuff. That peaked my Mother Fucking interest as a lïttlë bæbÿ so I begged my mom to let us go to Atlantic City for FIVE YEARS and she NEVER TOOK US. I didn’t even ask to go to the Nickelodeon theme park. I just wanted to see what the fuck was up or go to the ocean there or whatever!!! New Jersey is TINY. there’s no way it was more than an hour from Newark. So in short now I’ll probably never see Atlantic City WHAT THE FUCK MOM. Thanks guys
