Serious DiscussionThe new Private Lesbian Bar opening up in the UK,
So, blessed be our almighty strong lesbian forefront (god, we always seem weighted in the fight for women, contrary to the sliver of representation we make up, but I digress),
The T has of course, lost their bananas in regards to this premise even being stated, and of course already called for it's failure (to which, I'm not surprised),
But, and this is a doozy of a but,
I think they're actually terrified for its success (as they should be), and I reckon a lot of their hellbent attempts to slander, protest and dismantle the idea before it even takes off is based off that fear, think about it,
If this can effectively be set-up as a privatized establishment (ie, private membership, filtered intake), how can any lesbian resist it? Even those on the fence all the way to full handmaiden, how can they resist a space that not only promises but actively guarantees no males present in a party setting. It sounds like a god-damn haven, not just for lesbians, but I imagine a lot of women across the sexuality spectrum.
But then, you have to consider the fact that if the majority of lesbians gather into these spaces, what does that say about the demographic (TiMs) we intentionally exclude?
Well, quite a lot really, (stuff we already know, but proof that will throw back some nasties at TiMs)
It would;
a) prove that lesbians do not support TiMs (contrary to the narrative being forced otherwise)
b) would prove that lesbians have no sexually inclination towards TiMs (no shit, but nice for them to eat that embarrassment of the crap they've been spouting),
c) would completely undermine almost everything the T community has promoted in regards to their 'acceptance' into lesbian spaces
I think they're going to do everything in their power to prevent the voices of lesbians being heard in this regard,
and that's why the opening of this private setting has me quite intrigued,
Any takes on the matter?
Male entitlement is one hell of a dangerous beast,
A bit unrelated, but something that seems to strike me as similar, my trad-dad would never want to be around my mother in his free time UNLESS she was with friends or on the phone. Then, like clockwork. He'd shamble his way to wherever she was, find a couch, chair, bed, floorspace to settle, and would spend the entire time listening into her conversations as if monitoring her,
Now, as to whether or not he actually is, I don't quite know -
It even comes up nowadays. When I call my mother for a conversation that I only want to have with her, she always has to step out or drive elsewhere to get away from him,
it always struck me as..odd.
Oh wow, that's so uncomfortable! I think a lot of men are insecure and think that when women want a private space to talk, they have to be talking about the men in their lives. But the reality is sometimes women just need a space to breathe. We're kinda seeing this with TIMs reacting to a woman-only club -- I've seen them posting things like "Can't believe they needed to make their own club just to talk shit about trans women" and it's hilarious and kind of sad that they think lesbians are so obsessed with them when most of us just want them to leave us alone!
We'd rather talk shit about them to their faces, so they know what we really think and they feel like the creepy rapey garbage they are.
Except they would resort to (totally not male) violence if we did.
