“From Metropolis to The Matrix, the nightmare is the same: if androids ever get access to the means of reproduction, nothing’s going to stop them. This is, coincidentally, the basic fear that men have harboured about women since the dawn of feminism, and particularly since the advent of contraception and reproductive technology”
I totally understand the appeal of pettiness, snark, and the pleasure of revenge. But seriously, where’s the satisfaction if someone hasn’t actually wronged you? Meanness is only fun if they’ve got it coming.
Of all the homophobic gotchas used by straight dudes, the one I would least have expected to see rehabilitated by other LGBT people (sometimes other women!) is “But if lesbians use strap ons why wouldn’t they all be cool with PIV?” and yet. Here we are in 2018. Look. Please….everyone…we are so tired…if your issue with lesbians is almost verbatim something you have heard from straight dudes trying to convince women to sleep with them then the least you can do is not go putting that shit where lesbians might see it.
in different contexts, butches and femmes are each other’s body guards. this has always been true for us. we keep each other safe and help one another move through the world. our love is a beautiful thing and so is our mutual aid!
