I hate this too. Actually even my straight friends always say stuff like this 'I wish I was a lesbian, then I wouldn't have to deal with relationships with men' or similar things. Do you think lesbian relationships are any different from any other relationship? They still argue and have problems like any other relationship. These people are living in some alternate reality.

I mean, they still argue and have problems, but a) you don't have to worry about them accidentally getting another woman pregnant, and b), they're statistically less likely to kill you.

and c) the prominent sexist gender roles and expectations that exist in straight relationships are pretty meaningless in same-sex relationships

Relationships with women are VERY different from those with men for the reasons others have mentioned.
