“Here are all these lesbians, and we’re working our butts off to get birth control and abortion, primarily issues that related to straight women. We were doing that when we were in the closet, and then when we came out as lesbians and said lesbian rights also have a place in the feminist agenda, the straight women said, “No, no, no, no, because they’re already calling us man-hating dykes. It’ll ruin the movement.” And there was really a big split in women’s liberation.”

Today’s aesthetic: keeping the same tab open in your browser for three solid weeks because you’re definitely going to get around to reading and/or acting on whatever’s in it any minute now.

coming out as a lesbian & being asked if you’ve ever dated a man is such a catch 22 cause you know if you say yes they’re gonna think you’re open to fucking men but you just “chose” women after having a bad experience with a man or something but if you say no they’re gonna tell you there’s no way you can know for sure if you haven’t tried being with a man. ladies tell me if this is a reach but i almost feel like the core tenet of lesbophobia is that no one sees lesbianism as a real identity & everyone thinks it’s impossible for women to not be attracted to men

And my all-time favorite:
She looks like she’s casting spells
