I’m a bisexual woman who has a few lesbian acquaintances. Some of them are my friends who I love dearly, but I have noticed behaviors from the others that piss me off. Two of them especially, apply some “straight guy” techniques to “smash” girls (in their words), for example: tricking girls into sleeping with them with promises of a relationship (that will never happen), making advances on very drunk girls, bragging about the number of women they had sex with, and being creepy about sex and women in general.
There are also some straight men in our circle, who salute them for it, and those lesbians in question like to brag to these guys about it. I have noticed that a few lesbians crave male validation or being accepted as “one of the boys”. So, with all this being said I want to know if any of you have seen something like in the lesbian community before or just to express your opinions in general.
P.S. The reason I’m making this post is because there’s a movie called “Bottoms” that I watched recently, and it reminded me of this situation. In the movies, while I laughed at times, it also made me very uncomfortable. Like, the whole point of the movie is how these two lesbian girls in high school create a fake “feminist self-empowerment group”, just to have a chance to have sex with popular girls in the school, which is every scrote comedy movie of the 2000s but with lesbian protagonists instead.
I'm excited to see this movie, but I really wish the media would stop peddling the myth that normal female sexuality is just as predatory and opportunistic as men's (and appealing to other girls desire for safety and protection, just so you can be able to access them sexually is fucking predatory argue with the wall) . Because of this, even a movie about lesbian protagonists like this one feels like Male propoganda seeking to promote the Lie that women are as sexually depraved as men
I know exactly what you mean !
I had someone in my life that is like this. She wants to impress men but she doesn't want them romantically. She's a pick me for male approval.
It's the worst. She's not in my life for various reasons but this was this thing that irritated me so much. How can you claim to be a feminist, call yourself a lesbian while devaluing women and treating them like crap?
So interesting to see this post! I'm generally into men, but I was watching a show last night where one of the characters was just coming out as gay (in her teens). And the way she came onto her crush was JUST LIKE A TEENAGE BOY WOULD?! It was so gross. Manipulation, zero emotional intelligence/care/consideration, it was verrrry bizarre.... It left me feeling SO off.
I guess it was probably written by a man?
I mean maybe she was trying to impress her older brother, who was a total scrote.... idk...
A movie about lesbians made ny leftists in 2023 is definitely going to be filled with numerous inaccuracies about real lesbians/ women. The male agenda to make lez look just as degenerate as men has been going on for centuries --I do not blame you at all for being uncomfortable with the movie
Ew ,I won't be watching that movie then , that sounds gross.
I try so hard not to be that kind of gay woman, for some reason even in LGBTQ spaces they still see women as objects and prizes to be gross towards and it's disgusting/ low class. It's like everything is a golden ticket to be misogynistic and they ALWAYS have some kind of excuse. They're like "I'm gay" "I'm a woman too!" Its like cool that doesn't give you the Yu-Gi-Oh r*pist card.
Another reason why straight men should just stay out of these spaces completely, they alter everything on purpose. They think being misogynistic is going to make them socially accepted and that's just fucked.
As a lesbian I wholeheartedly agree. I couldn’t even sit through a review of this movie. They were basically lesbian “nice guys.”
