Do we love her? Hate her? Find her unbearably navel-gazey or refreshingly self-critical? I will admit I love a good DTWOF re-read every now and then

Almost all of the male characters were played by women. Hamlet was a butch lesbian but the character was still referred to as a man. Laertes and Polonius were played by women and their characters were referred to as women (she/her pronouns, sister/mother rather than brother/father). There were cis men in the ensemble, but the only one to play a leading role was Claudius (who also played the father’s ghost). Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, and Horatio were cis men, too.

Lately instead of calling myself a lesbian I’ve been saying “Homofem” instead. I’m generally unhappy with how the term lesbian is being used and rather “homosexual female” since it seems to make lesbophobes more bothered. I’d like some other opinions on it

I am flat out not interested in any men in the media I consume, be it books, movies, TV, video games- whatever, I just have no care for male characters at all. I'm not talking about a romantic or sexual interest, I obviously don't have that, but even just a general interest in them as characters.

The closest I can get is saying I like a character, but ultimately there is always a woman in the media that I prefer wayyyy more. Hell, I will be put off from reading or watching something if it centres around a male main character, I just completely have no interest at all.

I feel weird for it, other lesbians I know either are the type to have crushes on fictional male characters as an 'exception' or just don't understand what I mean and have male characters that they are obsessed over ykwim? Idk, I am very active within fandom spaces so I'm well aware of the bias towards male characters but it feels like I am completely alone in what is borderline a disgust for men in media.

I see a man or watch anything with a man in it and I just want to roll my eyes, i hate it, I can count on one hand the amount of men in media I have actually liked as characters.

I will not read fanfiction that has any main male characters, the most I will read is where they are a side character and not a focus, Idk. I feel like that stereotype of a man hating lesbian sometimes lol.

Anyone else relate to this? Or am I just some raging lesbian misandrist /j

Why is this even such a common phenomenon omg Heated rivalry has done unspeakable damage to the lesbian community

chicks rock

how often do you guys have a crush on someone? not just thinking someone's cute but actually yearning for someone. i haven't had a crush on a girl in like 2 years. i've gone out on dates and thought girls were cute but the yearning + fantasizing component of crushes that makes them so lovely has been missing for a bit. wondering if it's just a me thing or if others experience this too. maybe it's just because i'm older now, even though i really don't want to have outgrown the "having crushes" part of my life, if it is indeed a stage.

anyone else felt pressure to always Do Something™️ for pride month but never do but then felt better by not trying to live up to anything

Let's imagine that visa logistics and a job are handled if international.

I love SoCal for the weather, but I would try Amsterdam for the transportation. Taipei for the food.

Did you lezz out this weekend? Share below!

It’s looking bleak out there ladies.

It’s so bad that I found myself thinking I should just give up on love and focus on my career. The lack of prospects could turn me into a capitalist!

Granted, I’ve only been on it for one day but, damn, are these the options?

All of my close friends are guys or masc lesbians and I feel I can be "myself" around them since we have similar communication styles. Guy friends have always said i'm "one of the guys". Whenever I'm around straight/feminine women I feel I have to try really hard to be someone I'm not to blend in and people notice it's unnatural to the point that people have labeled me as "neurodivergent" or "a sociopath". These same people later realized that i'm just a lesbian who is trying really hard to fit in around straight women and have gently told me I should just be myself and that they noticed that when i'm relaxed and not trying to be someone i'm not I come across as very "dude-like" and that's ok. Looking to see if others have had similar experiences with this and if they have advice on how to stop trying to conform to expectations for women or how to navigate the world as a more masculine woman

so i just recently graduated high school and there's around two months for my uni to start. recently this girl texted me and told me she's had a crush on me since 11th grade, apparently i was her hallway crush for like 3yrs lol (same school). we start talking and i wanna date her.

the problem is, her ex is dating my cousin (hes a guy). her ex cheated on her for my cousin, and i didn't even know anything about this because i don't talk to my cousin at all. my cousin apparently talked a lot of shit about this girl and tried to defame her everywhere for being a lesbian (i live in a conservative place so it becomes a big deal). this girl told me that my cousin is also apparently very weird, sleeps around, cheats on a lot of girls and does a whole bunch of bs i wasnt even aware of (and he's just 17).

he is also kinda manipulative and his mom has some beef with my family and tries to sabotage us a lot. what i'm worried about is if i date this girl, my cousin will find out somehow and try to ruin my life over me being gay or something (im not out to my family yet). on the other hand im wondering if i should just shoot my shot w the girl im talking to because im moving out in two months anyway.

i dont know if this is stupid and im just overthinking it or if its like a valid concern.

Foods are cheaper 20% to 40% than in other Chinese prefecture-level cities of similar size. Apart from Huai river embankments and two large parks, Bengbu doesn't have much scenery. if i was a college student in Bengbu, I would take high speed train for 50 mins to Nanjing, or 2 hours to Shanghai every weekend. And I forgot to take a photo of Huai river.
