You're not going to get a reply because u/Astrid2448 is here to rant about radical feminism being 'mean' and not centering gay men. This is a shitpost.

People invoke “mean dyke” (re: mean radfem) as a way to guilt lesbians into lowering boundaries because it’s a lesbian stereotype that they are happy to believe applies to all of us. It’s the Trojan Horse that let all the non-lesbians in to begin with so it’s pretty ironic that we have been booted out of the community and now someone wants us to be “nicer” to males, as if being more “inclusive” was not the PROBLEM in the first damn place. How do they think every lesbian community ended up full of non-lesbians? Magical “fluidity”? Lol

Seeing another whole group of lesbian feminists condemned for being unpopular because people are not paying attention to who is who is maddening to me. We can disagree with women who are radfems and poli lez and whatever without completely booting the only lesbians who are on our side (for the most part) from the entire fight. Lol

I'm not sure if it's an intentional shitpost or not. I don't mind engaging in case it's not. But, the silence is kinda telling either way-- because I don't see any "calls to action" for what to do about the described grievances.

edit: also, I am the commenter you thought was an anti-radfem gay man, lol.

This is the exact reason I am pissed at women online. “They are not the ‘right’ lesbians, so let’s get rid of them” sentiment. I don’t see us getting a community back in the real world if this is the type of behaviour people engage in. Why would women bother fighting?

Yeah I don't know what to say. I have seen some really thoughtful comments so far from GC, and from those who are anti-GC, but then you get stuff from people who assume which "side" you are on from one mild comment.
