springvioletswell, with the news of there being concentration camps for gay men in chechnya, i'm deleting my lj tonight. the hardest part is going to be the communities! it seems like communities on dreamwidth are so DEAD.

actuallylesbians just now! (idk if people still do this, but the name comes from a tag people used on tumblr to designated stuff that was actually by/about/for lesbians and not just... porn). any other active communities out there?
in other news, i think i'm getting into an argument with meghan murphy over here in a stupid thread where women complain about how married women are dumb, basically. and by which they mean straight married women, btw, but they don't specify that because they love to forget that lesbians exist. this is such a MASSIVE frustration of mine with (straight) feminists, and i saw it a lot in academic studies too! they'll come up with elaborate arguments or studies and just assume everyone is straight and don't think for a second how sexual orientation might impact things like, oh i don't know, marriage, orgasms, self esteem, medical health.....etc.

The simple fact that lesbians are getting married should give them pause long enough to form a coherent argument with specificity to their gripes instead of spouting such vast generalizations. It makes a world of difference by specifying "women who marry men" over "all women who marry."
Such broad strokes for such narrow minds, it seems.
Now, seriously, where do I pick up my "dumb bitch" card? I should have had that shit mailed to me three years ago! x3
