A Soliloquy of Sorts: To the straight women who I met at a party tonight:

iamabutchsolo:

STOP TELLING ME THAT WOMEN ARE TERRIBLE, BITCHY, JEALOUS CREATURES AND THAT YOU COULD NEVER DATE THEM/MARRY THEM/SLEEP WITH THEM BECAUSE OF IT.

STOP TELLING ME ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS GROWING UP WERE GUYS AND THAT IT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT.

STOP TELLING ME THAT YOU HATE WOMEN.

I’VE HEARD IT BEFORE. YOU ARE WOMEN TOO. YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL.

YOUR GRAND OPINIONS ON HOW WOMEN BEHAVE AND HOW YOU ASSUME EVERY INTERACTION THAT I HAVE WITH A WOMAN MUST INVOLVE DRAMA AND HOW ALL WOMEN = DRAMA DOES NOT MAKE YOU EXEMPT FROM THE PERPETUATION OF THESE STEREOTYPES.THEY MAKE YOU COMPLICIT BECAUSE YOU ALLOW MEN TO HAVE PERSONALITIES BUT DISMISS ACTIONS OF WOMEN AS MOTIVATED BY STEREOTYPES BEFORE YOU EVEN KNOW THEM,

AND THEY MAKE MY EXPERIENCES AS A LESBIAN SECONDARY TO THOSE OPINIONS BECAUSE I PROUDLY SURROUND MYSELF WITH WOMEN WHILE YOU SEE WOMEN AS UNWORTHY OF YOUR TIME.

STOP IT PLEASE.
