I don't know very much about FDS but it feels very negative. I guess that is why I never really did a deep dive on it. Does anyone here read it / participate in it as a member, or is it more in the AL category?

It's a group primarily for het women, and bi women I guess. The idea behind the group isn't bad, basically that women should actually hold men to some kind of standards in relationships and not be completely focused on just getting and keeping a man, any man, no matter how duchey he may be. But I think the 'translation' above: that these women seem to view lesbians as a consolation prize to toy with while they wait for the right man to show up, is pretty accurate. Also a really weird post for a woman to make when she's married to a guy and doesn't seem to have any intentions of leaving.

I getcha, that makes sense. Yeah, it's a little weird like, "Look I have other options! I could date women!" Theoretically. I have been starting to watch for a lack of excitement about women (i.e. "I hate men" vs "I love women") since people pointed it out to me in another post, and that definitely seems to be a running theme here.
