Online feels like where all the crazies go to cope.

Yupppp. I think it's been bad for a while, but the pandemic might've made it even worse. I'm not on Ovarit but I used to lurk on the truelesbians subreddit, and I also used to post a lot on s/lesbians. There was a surprisingly vocal minority of users in both groups who self-identified as political lesbians. I was actually just talking about this with u/soundsituation; I think she was more of the belief that they are trolls, but I'm not convinced. Either way, I'm glad that people here on this sub seem against political lesbianism, at least.

That being said-- even if few radical feminists believe in the political lesbianism concept, many radical feminist leaders do. For example, Julie Bindel does, and Lesbian and Gay News features her regularly! I don't understand why so many people are comfortable supporting a person who is openly homophobic and denies the existence of homosexual women. But that's a topic for another post.
