My point was that women being victim to sexual abuse is so common that its not hard to believe there are many genuine lesbians posting here about their trauma

But it works both ways because it's also not hard to believe that many of these victims aren't lesbians given how prevalent sexual assault is too. Given how rare lesbianism seems to be due to how there seems to be many more liars than actual homosexual women I get it. If we were in just small number then people would have a harder time denying lesbianism is real in and of itself but because so many are lying (or lesbophobes) then they have a leg to stand on. That's how bad it is. Hell, if these hurt women whom are just co-opters were so small in number they wouldn't have been able to make it an political movement out of it and paint it as a morally correct choice for women's liberation - as a means to our literal freedom. When I revealed myself to be a misandrist, lesbians here made it seem like I was actually bisexual for the same sentiment. They said lesbians don't hate men, they're just indifferent and to hate men is sus af. So, I'm surprised so many here are pretending not to get it.

You can be a misandrist. But if you talk about nothing but men men men 24/7 you can't blame other lesbians for thinking you are just a political lesbian.

The reason why I tend to be skitty around misandrist lesbians is because hatred is such a strong emotion, it gives men way too much emotional and mental real estate. I'd rather be with a woman who's completely apathetic towards men because discussion of men in almost any context bores me. I don't care if it's talking about how much they suck, they're irrelevant in a lesbian relationship and I'd like to bask in that freedom

I respect this but it'd make more sense if we lived on a planet away from men and their power and violence and the adverse living conditions so many are forced into living, including our friends and families but we don't. If you have the privilege for that to be a non-factor than good for you but I wish this was recognized as a privilege.

Agreed with this.

That's so strange. Why do they think lesbians can't be misandrist and must be indifferent or neutral to males?

I think it's the level of hate/dislike. I don't like alcohol because I think it tastes bad. That dislike is different from someone who hates alcohol because they had a long battle with alcoholism and feel that alcohol ruined their life. For the most part, extreme misandry is of the spurned lover/fury the likes of which hell hath no type, and those tend to come from bihet women.

That's true in that context, but what about people who hate someone who was cruel to them? They don't have to have previously loved them to feel hatred. You could hate a political figure, someone who robbed you, a teacher who treated you unfairly etc, doesn't mean you're secretly in love with them. A woman could have all sorts of non-romantic experiences with men that could leave a sense of hatred towards them, I don't doubt it personally.
