voter suppression of poc and the poor is a thing in america. our system is designed so that the presidential candidate with the most votes doesn’t always win, that felons* can’t ever vote, that through gerrymandering conservative politicians are more likely to win local elections. politicians are bought out by health insurance companies

dyke - (n. informal, offensive) a lesbian.

when someone asks why bi/pan wlw can’t say dyke, this is usually the screenshot they’re sent in response. but what if we took a look further down the rabbit hole? 

what exactly is a lesbian, according to google?

lesbian - (n.) a homosexual woman. (adj.) relating to homosexual women or homosexuality in women [”a lesbian relationship”].

okay, this checks out. “homosexual” is a highly medicalized term, but it’s not inaccurate here. and yeah, the sapphic community is trying to make a shift from saying “lesbian relationship” to “f/f” relationship, but before ‘sapphic’ and ‘wlw’ become popular terms, ‘lesbian’ was an umbrella term for all wlw. it still makes sense. 

so then, what’s a homosexual (according to google)?

homosexual - (adj.) (of a person) sexually attracted to people of one’s own sex. (n.) a person who is sexually attracted to people of their own sex.

okay, that checks out. sure, it’s a bit narrow for a definition of gayness, excluding asexuals and transgender people with outdated language like “sexually attracted to … sex”. 

it’s question time!

do you see the words “not attracted to men” or “not attracted to women” anywhere in any of the 3 google definitions above? 

do you see the words “exclusively attracted to women (and no other genders)” or “exclusively attracted to men” anywhere in any of the 3 google definitions above?

if you answered “no” to both of those questions, you are correct! google does NOT define lesbians as “women who are not attracted to men” OR “women exclusively attracted to other women”. 

which means, if you’re using a screenshot of the google definition of ‘dyke’ to prove that bi/pan wlw shouldn’t be allowed to reclaim it, you’re making a fool out of yourself, because you didn’t even bother to look up what google defines ‘lesbian’ as. if you think lesbian only ever means “woman attracted exclusively to women and not men”, using a google definition that literally contradicts your beliefs is just ignorant.

thanks for listening to my TED talk on why ‘dyke’ is not a lesbian-only slur, I’ll be here all week

The Irritating Gentleman - Berthold Woltze

1874

[gonegrls]

why does this communicate the universal mood we women experience so perfectly

[foxy-voxy]

This is doubly annoying because she’s clearly in mourning; look at her clothes. those are mourning clothes. The way she clutches her handkerchief. The wetness of her eyes. She’s not a lark to the seaside, she’s traveling to or from a funeral. And this dandy fuckboy can’t look beyond his own nose and have some fucking respect.

[jeanjauthor]

This is why I support artists.  You can tell a story without any words at all.  You don’t even need to title this piece “The Irritating Gentleman” and yet most 21st Century women will know exactly what this 19th Century woman endured on the day of that painting.

Pulling off someone’s hijab, sheitel, or tichel should be considered sexual assault and hold the same potential consequences. You’re removing someone’s garments to expose them against their will. It’s a sexual assault, the same as it would be to pull down a woman’s skirt. The assault also being a hate crime makes the violation worse, not better.
