In the beginning I did notice some of the gc crowd having an “all men attitude” and even outright homophobia implying gay men were all whores lol. I don’t think it was from gc lesbians but the hetero gc who has a strong presence there. They defended lb as fellow women under attack but gb men were still “the patriarchy” it did drive off a few gay men in the beginning.

Gc people tend to be homophobic bigots OFTEN, ive found. I unsubbed because they were suggesting firing someone over being trans at all. Just as bad as the gc on reddit, who were just as bad as TRAs. But that doesn’t mean lesbians who are radfems are all extremist trash and we should distance from them. If we had paid more attention to them years ago it’s unlikely we would have gotten so far down the TRA rabbit hole.

Also, any woman who defends women against partriarchy, or even uses the word, has the “all men attitude” to people who don’t want to actually address any issues. It’s as if a woman failing to provide a “not all men” disclaimer before every statement with “men” in it has an “all men attitude.” No one means “all” of anyone, that’s not logical and I doubt the speakers feel it’s every man

I read gc sub before finding lgbdropthet and there were definitely some "all men" attitudes from SOME of them. At dropthet, there was an article about gay men with body issues and getting botched cosmetic surgeries, and top comment was some radfem gloating about how it was men getting a taste of their own medicine (my words, but that was the gist of it.) another one was me asking a question about why something was a certain wayand i got a one word response. MEN. Apparently it was all our doing lol

Again let me say that I don't think all gc lesbians are extremists and of course I recognize and share elements of their beliefs (gender stereotypes need to go). I'm not saying gc L need to go, they are lgb. Just like the conservatives here., for example. But we shouldn't assume there is only one belief system that will solve the TRA problem.

I actually agree with you.
