For the women who aren't interested in anything oral, like nothing about it, how do you deal with that in a relationship? by Freetochoose in Lesbians

[–]spirette 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Ad hominem right away. "meltdown" and "flake" And patronizing on top of it.

I've been coming here less and less and there is a reason: I have been noticing comments that sound like they were not written by lesbians, let alone women. Not liking pussy is extra weird to me as a lesbian. If a woman told me she didn't like giving/receiving I'd take it as a red flag. I could maybe understand not liking to receive because of trauma, but the OP didn't talk about trauma at all. Red flag. And I would be right because women who don't like oral are straight. Or asexual. But if you are asexual, you shouldn't be looking for a romantic relationships because these include sex. I shouldn't have to explain this.

What lesbian doesn't like pussy? If you don't, you are either asexual or you're straight/bi. Which is the same thing ultimately. I'm out.

I fucking hate non binary as a designation for masculine lesbians. by [deleted] in Lesbians

non-binary and pronoun nonsense doesn't work with gendered languages They/them is literally untranslatable in my language.

And yeah all this shit comes from the US. Which is why countries where English isn't predominant aren't impacted as much. But it would help if US lesbians who rant about this shit stopped using "gender" to mean "sex" It's insane how a whole country doesn't seem to know about basic definitions.

Early 20s single lesbians, what's the plan? by HelloMomo in Lesbians

[–]spirette 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

thanks! Entirely unsurprising that animals, especially the females (don't care about males of any species), choose to only pair up with other females because males of all species rape them. Female spiders that eat the male (even before mating) is also unsurprising. I've read about the hooked penis of the male duck which is torture for the female duck. So many other examples.

yes I meant the lesbian lizard, not necessarily the way (which I am just learning here) detrains people are using it.

Height difference when dating by [deleted] in Lesbians

I hate to be shallow but yeah height difference matters to me. Like, I honestly can't imagine dating someone who were 20 cm taller or smaller than me. Sorry that's a deal-breaker for me.

I think it's fine to have any sort of deal-breaker honestly. It feels shitty if it's something based on looks but it is what it is imo. All my exes were my size or slightly (2 cm max) smaller. I want a woman who's my equal, in every sense of the term.

I'm not into the stereotypical lesbian look. For the life of me I can't understand why so many lesbians have tattoos.
I do not get this tattoo trend. But then again, most hipsters also have tattoos, it's not just lesbians.

As for the rest: alternative haircut, andro look, etc. I don't dig either. Personally I wear what I want to wear. I have long hair, don't wear makeup and I wear dresses and skirts. And skinny jeans and sneakers. No lesbian has ever given me a hard time for the clothes I wear. If they're not into it, that's fine. I don't care honestly. Some women like my look and some don't.

I'm sorry you feel pressured to look a certain way. Maybe it's an age thing? Lesbians my age (30-35) and over seem to wear "regular" clothes as in: jeans, t-shirt, occasional dress/skirt.

Are you child-free? by RedditHatesLesbians in Lesbians

Childfree forever. Pregnancy has always horrified me even from a small age and I don't like being around children. I've never experienced this "baby fever" some women talk about. I wonder if it's even real or if it's just a rationalization they come up with when it should just be called brainwashing. In any case, no kids. Couldn't be happier with that choice.

some lesbians have sexual trauma you know. While this reaction to bi women may be a bit extreme, so what? You sound very invested in the fact that some lesbians aren't into bi women. How does it affect you?

But you're also insisting that you are not a "man-hater" (lol as if that's a bad thing). Men hate women already. Stop pandering to them so much, it's embarrassing.

[–]spirette 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Bisexuals are so rapey. If you have to guilt-trip lesbians into dating you, then that doesn't say much about you now, does it?

Let's not forget bisexuals are actively responsible for men in dress infiltrating our spaces: after all, they're the ones who pushed the "sexual fluidity" nonsense which led to men deciding that lesbians had to suck their dick. Of course, men being entitled and gross isn't new but bisexuals played a large part in the breaking down of lesbian boundaries.

I'm sure there is a rare bi woman out there who is actually serious about dating another woman. But she's very hard to find. Most of them exclusively date men. The 1 million dollar question is this: if they want to date a woman so bad, why not date another bisexual? Haven't received an answer to that question so far (I know the answer, and they can't answer it without admitting that bi women are mostly into men).

FFS. Anybody can refuse anybody for any reason. Period.The END. And yeah that includes "racist" reasons. If somebody doesn't want you, you move the fuck on.

Also this is such a bad analogy: bi women outnumber lesbians by a large margin. We aren't oppressing them. "Biphobia" isn't real. Lesbians are the ones who are being erased and oppressed.

Absolute masterpiece.

Being a French speaker means I enjoyed it even more because you get to hear all the subtleties: for instance the fact that Héloïse and Marianne only use "tu" (informal "you") once or twice, most the movie they use "vous" (formal "you") which makes their exchange very sexy imo. I loved the fact that this movie barely had any music, except in three very crucial moments. I can't stand movies nowadays where every scene is drowned into music. I also loved the fact that there were barely any men at all. Such a breath of fresh air.

I also loved the equality between the two women, the fact that a lesbian directed it and that a lesbian actress played a lesbian (that's so rare), the beauty of the light, the last scene where Héloïse relives their love story (spoiler!), the meta aspect about the painter and her "muse" (who is in fact not her muse but an equal) vs Céline Sciamma and Adèle Haenel, the historical period (18th century) where female painters were actually freer than a century later, the chemistry between the two women is amazing too. There are so many layers to that movie. You have to rewatch it several times to understand all of it.

I know some lesbians dislike the fact that this has an "unhappy" ending. I understand that criticism. Céline Sciamma said that she thought this was in fact a happy ending. I don't know what to think myself. On one hand, I think it would have been totally possible for the two women to run away to another country (Italy perhaps? where Marianne had connections) to live there together as "friends" or "sisters" while Marianne would have earned money as a painter. Some lesbians did this, even if we don't necessarily know about them doesn't mean these couples didn't exist. But of course, they would have been shunned by their family and they would have had to hide. And maybe the truth would have come out anyway.

On the other hand, it would have indeed been difficult. And perhaps Héloise didn't want to betray/abandon her mother who clearly needed the money (they weren't rich) and support from that marriage. Yeah, it's a shit situation.

Exactly. Who the hell has the time to date multiple people? Not me. One person is plenty enough. These poly people seem to spend all their time in some sort of weird drama. I don't buy the "there's no jealousy, we're above that!" bs either.

Never had a threesome. Again, to me that's too many women. One is plenty enough.

People who spend a lot of time on social media are in my experience completely self-absorbed and vapid. Read a book kids! Practice a hobby, learn a new language, anything. Instead of looking for validation and "likes" from strangers. Yeah I sound like a grumpy old lady and I'm fine with it :)

1)A big one I've noticed, since I'm recently single, is the rainbow emoji. Swipe left immediately because that means she's either kweer, straight but wants to experiment (or even weirder: a straight woman looking for a female friend, like WTH) or bisexual who also wants to check "sleeping with a woman" off her list (and is very likely to have a boyfriend).

2) Another one: a bio that consists solely of emojis (like 10 or 15 of them). Probably another queer, but also immature. swipe left.

3) Women who say they're here for a "new adventure", or "and more if we hit it off" swipe left because they are clearly not serious about dating women

4) I'm suspicious when there is only one picture. Not that it could be a catfish but that this is the only decent picture of her that she found and she probably doesn't look like that at all in real life. I've had that happen several times in the past where I couldn't even recognize my date (but she could recognize me right away). It's annoying because I feel deceived but I don't want to be an asshole at the same time.

yeah labels are used by everybody to describe things. notice these "no labels" women don't have a problem saying they're tall/short/have blue eyes/are British/Italian/introvert

It's only when it's about being CLEAR about your attraction that they suddenly become uncomfortable with labels. Anyway, they tend to be bisexuals: may sleep with a woman, only date men. Meh.

what? Lesbian absolutely means woman exclusively attracted to women. Don't confuse what men write and say with what the word actually means. Of course, men refuse to believe that women aren't attracted to them, that women could be solely attracted to women. Who cares what men think? They always try to control language.

And no Sappho wasn't bisexual. Being married to a man was the norm. (Oscar Wilde was also married. Nobody claims Oscar Wilde was bisexual) Another lie cooked up by men. All her poems are only about loving women. let's not do this thing where we erase Sappho's sexuality, just like men and bihets have tried to do.

I don't like the term "homosexual" because it was invented to pathologize same-sex attraction. I'll keep using "lesbian" thank you very much.

Had never heard of Mary Anning prior to this and her story sounds indeed fascinating. I'm not surprised that the estate isn't fond of a movie depicting her as a lesbian: all women are assumed straight and if they remain single they are still assumed straight.

These people don't seem to realize that lesbians have always existed, they were just hiding, and that the nice old ladies down the street who were "very good friends" were very likely a couple. If there is no evidence she was gay, there is also no evidence she was straight.

I loved Carol and it was indeed shot by a gay dude. I rewatch it every year at Christmas (I know cheesy;) But it was also based on a book by a lesbian and the script was written by a lesbian. I personally liked the sex scene but I get what you mean. Meanwhile Lisa Cholodenko, an out lesbian, made the movie The Kids are alright, where a lesbian sleeps with a man.

All this to say that there are no guarantees and a lesbian can fuck it up where a man doesn't. But so many movies are made by men where the female characters are super pornified and it's gross. So my knee-jerk reaction is to be annoyed :)

About Céline Sciamma, that's nice! I didn't know about that casting call. Great to hear that she will make another lesbian movie :)

Because straight/bi women worship dick and don't want to be associated with lesbians who aren't "real" (read: dick-sucking and dick-pleasing) women. As long as they say yes to dick, women can hope to gain some status and some crumbs from men. Not much of course, but something. Lesbians don't get any of this so these straight/bi women (same thing) are just revealing what they think of us and how terrified they are to lose male approval.

Interesting. Was it an English interview? Or a French interview? I'm assuming an interview in English since "queer" is not super commonly used in France (except in LGBTwtf circles). But it's growing unfortunately. I don't think most French speakers even know that "queer" means "odd". But I suppose if they knew, they wouldn't mind because deep down, that's what they (the kweerspecials ie the straights) think of us: that we are weird.

And yeah I hate that "oh she is LGBTQ+" Like, no she isn't all these random letters put together, she is L.

I wish it was the case and that I could have tons of lesbians friends. Alas. It is what it is.

Of course. Objectively, women are way better looking on average. Men grow bald, have hair coming out of their nose and ears, beer belly, receding hairline, visible pores.

Women take way better care of themselves (because of the insane pressure on our appearance) and women don't have as much testosterone as men. Testosterone ages you.

absolutely. Completely agree. I used to think (less than two years ago) that it was cool how lesbian-centric radical feminism was. Lesbians seemed to be the forefront of the movement and it's so rare. Now I've realized how deeply lesbophobic it all is and how it's basically a way for straight/bi women to appropriate our struggles and a way for them to keep dating men (in other words: couples therapy) while arguing that lesbians are "privileged". And comp het is part of that.

this is so blunt and so true, I love it! And I completely agree.

Straight women so don't want to hear about normal lesbian relationships in my experience. Like you said: only the glittery part. hence why they luuurve gay men.

Whenever I casually mention in conversation that I'm a lesbian to a straight woman (coworker, acquaintance) I immediately sense they are surprised and uncomfortable but trying to hide it (because they don't want to appear homophobic and they're totes cool with it, don't you know - but they are not in fact, not at all). And I'm just there thinking: yeah, as if. Sit down. I'm so not attracted to straight women. Nothing kills my attraction faster than a woman mentioning their boyfriend or a random "hot" male celebrity.

Also: Fucking hell, does every woman now want to be a lesbian these days? WTF. When I was a teenager, I knew I was only attracted to women and I was TERRIFIED. It wasn't a good feeling at all. I came out at 25 and managed not to sleep with a man, let alone marry one.

These pathetic women seem to be all in their heads, fantasizing about a woman who doesn't actually exist, because their marriage sucks. And you just know they are going to go on a dating app and drag lesbians into their mess. That's what enrages me the most: these confused straight women who love dick but realize that men are shit. Yeah, not our problem as lesbians. Stay away from us.

I am all for straight women staying celibate. Just don't call it "lesbianism" then. If it doesn't involve lesbian sex and lesbian love then it's not lesbianism. Pick another term. Don't drag lesbians into that mess. Life is hard enough, we don't need straight women pretending to be lesbians using lesbians and crushing their hearts when it's revealed they are not in fact attracted to women.

I mean, the reason lesbians aren't taken seriously is because we are women and we don't care about dick. Not because a few straight women are bitter about men. Let's be real here. If no straight woman called herself a lesbian, we would still be mocked and dismissed.

Why is female sexuality so easily dismissed? by RedditHatesLesbians in Lesbians

[–]spirette 14 insightful - 1 fun14 insightful - 0 fun15 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Most women fully participate in their own oppression. And no it's not just because they are socialized. They are capable of making choices and over and over they choose to throw women under the bus in favor of men. So yes it's misogyny. Because sucking up to men gets your some crumbs, maybe some status. Supporting and favoring women gets you nothing. Misogyny is at the core of 99% of the issues on this planet.

The criticism you are levelling at women who argue sexuality is fluid should be directed at bi women who are the worst offenders in terms of pandering to men.

Stereotypes of lesbians that are true and not true? by IamWomanHearMeRoar in Lesbians

Wait... lesbians DON'T all have short nails??? :) I mean, that's THE sign that I look for if I have an inkling that a woman might be gay.

Like, straight women can have short nails too but a woman with super manicured and polished long nails is not a lesbian in my experience. No way.

As for other lesbian stereotypes, I love cats, most lesbians I know love cats as well. So many lesbians are vegans/vegetarians. And women who play football (soccer) are very often lesbians (I'm thinking of joining a women's football team in the fall).

Do real (and self aware) lesbians exist in real life anymore? by RedditHatesLesbians in Lesbians

I'm sorry. it must be a fucking nightmare to be a teenager these days. Even more so than before. I think it's important to keep in mind that being a lesbian has never been easy and never will be. I don't want to lie to you.

When I was a teenager 15 years ago, there wasn't a single gay or lesbian in my school of 800 students. And this is the kind of thing everybody would have heard about because news travelled fast. I can't think of a single out gay/lesbian student. I wasn't out at the time. And I'm from a very dechristianized European country. There wasn't also a single lesbian celebrity (in my country I mean) that I could point out and think "well she is a lesbian and she is successful and happy". Gay men in the media, yeah sure, but lesbians? Nope. it was a very lonely experience. I'm saying this so that you don't romanticize the past.

These days, because being LGBT (blah) is trendy, kids are jumping on the bandwagon to look "cool" and "edgy". But it's fake, and as you point out, lesbians are rare. And it's because we are rare. You will meet some later, trust me, but yeah most women are straight or bi which is basically the same thing really.

But all of my exes were lesbians. So yeah it's possible to meet and date actual lesbians. Just give it time. When these pretendbians are done with this fad, you will be able to sort out the ones who are actual lesbians and the ones who are "pan" or just bored straight girls. Take care.

they wouldn't. Because most bihets only date men.

They never admit that but that's the reason their only option is lesbians if they want to hook up with a woman (let's be real: they're not interested in an actual relationship). Hence why they get so angry that some lesbians don't want to date them: they don't get to tick that box, or to experiment, or to spice up their boring het life. And that's oppression to them. But lesbians are not some consolation prize that bi women get to claim because men suck.

The women on that FDS thread even say so themselves and yet can't seem to realize that they are exactly like the bisexuals they criticize. The lack of self-awareness is insane.

Reddit was way worse. Pornography, rape fetish, pedos, etc. Have you all forgotten? I don't frequent other subs (why even look at these?) but yeah I'm sure there are a lot of idiotic and awful males spewing bullshit. that's a given. At least they let us stay here and aren't trying to shut us down (so far). That's better than all the "progressive" platforms.

Anyone else have trouble finding decent people? by peaked in Lesbians

[–]spirette 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

yeah that's true. And Tinder is a reflection of people in general, because it's the most popular app. There is a reason posts about dating apps were the most common on TrueLesbians. It's a shitshow.

I saw several posts suggesting you meet someone in real life and I'm just here thinking " really? how does that work?" It may happen to straight people but with us lesbians? What are the odds?

I've never met another lesbian in real life unless I was at a lesbian bar/at a lesbian event. And none of the women at these real life events appealed to me. Either they were much older (nothing against older women but I don't want to date someone who's 20 years older than me) or they were super young and cringey or deeply involved in kweer shit. Or they were just uninteresting.

The dating pool is so small that it's crazy hard to meet someone. It's just a fact.

So I feel you OP. I don't have anything to suggest except wish you luck because that's what it comes down to honestly: sheer luck.

yeah I'm sure there are websites/apps for couples specifically looking for a third. but these POS enjoy invading lesbian spaces. And like you said, the boyfriend is no doubt obsessed with lesbians because of porn and the woman probably as well.

Gross. So a straight couple: idiotic woman who no doubt identifies as "queer" and a delusional creepy male. Straight couples on lesbian dating apps are so fucking rapey. I mean it's a given that men would be rapey, but women like that disgust me even more. I always wonder if these couples have any luck on these apps: surely they don't, right? Because what kind of self-respecting lesbian would want their ass?

why are there even lesbians on these subs full of mentally ill creepy male fetishists? Are they that masochistic? Why would they want to be part of this shit? So many women are such people-pleasers it's mind-boggling

Look, most people are idiots. That includes women. Most people don't use their brain, think deeply about things, question stuff. They just don't. This isn't new.

It is indeed discouraging seeing so many 30+ year-old women supporting this crap. But the reason they do it is because they are stupid, crave popularity like immature teens and are selfish.

I don't care about the "lesbian community" (except here obv). They support that shit. So fuck them. I want nothing to do with them. There is zero excuse for grown-ass women to believe all that nonsense. It harms them as lesbians and they don't care.

I will sit there and watch all this crazy shit unfold and not care because frankly, lesbians brought this on themselves. Sorry but that's the truth. When you keep saying "trans woman" as if these dudes are female, when you choose to welcome males in lesbian spaces, when you bend over backwards to accommodate all the "queers" then you are a doormat and I have zero sympathy.

I would suggest that you don't use Twitter because it's awful and pointless to argue with idiots. You won't change their minds and when all this nonsense is over, they won't admit they were fools. They'll pretend it never happened. But the damage will be done.
