Listen. This conversation WILL be had. No one is going to run from this. And i told you i merely just took 2 very long comments i had as an argument with a lesbian on here and pasted them on here. So dont be dishonest in your critique. I mentioned radical feminism before to that specific commenter but the nature of my critique still stands for all western lesbians who benefitted from western gay activism but think womanhood will somehow liberate them. These generalizations are...generalizations because theyre....general patterns. And lesbians in non western countries shouldnt imitate them and ruin their lives following their lead.

Lmao, what does that even mean? I'm literally talking with you right now. If I wanted to leave, I could quite easily, but you have no right to order people around.

So dont be dishonest in your critique.

Where do you think I was dishonest? Quote the part that I said that was dishonest, and if what I said was inaccurate, I'll fix it. Do you think it's dishonest to say, "Not all lesbians are radical feminists"? I am lesbian and I am not a radical feminist-- in fact, I am generally against radical feminism, and sometimes I get shit for it on this sub.

Also OP made a new thread, so it would probably make more sense to continue the conversation there.

edit: Look, if you want to format a quote, you would use the ">" sign at the beginning of the line you're quoting. So for example, if you said "So dont listen to these "radical feminist" types. Again, theyre mostly a useless joke." it would look like:

So dont listen to these "radical feminist" types. Again, theyre mostly a useless joke.

I take it that this line was originally from your comment to someone else that you were talking to. That wasn't immediately obvious from your comment. I am not being dishonest; it was unclear how much of that comment was about this post as opposed to another one.

I still stand by my statement that most of the "lesbians" you're making broad generalizations about are actually the so-called "political lesbians" of radical feminism. Those people are homophobic towards lesbians as well as gay men, and I agree, they're an issue.
