straightboyfriend:

no one deserves to be abused at the hands of men, regardless of sexuality. there are men who can love you, there are men who will treat you like you gave them the world. please do not settle for men who treat you poorly because “that’s how men act.” it isn’t! abusive behavior should never be normalized!!

Tbh if I date another man I hope he’s bi because straight men are a disaster

“Fairy tales — the proper kind, those original Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen tales I recall from my Eastern European childhood, unsanitized by censorship and unsweetened by American retellings — affirm what children intuitively know to be true but are gradually taught to forget, then to dread: that the terrible and the terrific spring from the same source, and that what grants life its beauty and magic is not the absence of terror and tumult but the grace and elegance with which we navigate the gauntlet.”

— Maria Popova, “The Importance of Being Scared: Polish Nobel Laureate Wisława Szymborska on Fairy Tales and the Necessity of Fear”

lord-kitschener:

Inch eresting how woke Materialist Feminists online are way more obsessive about “discussing” how bisexuality is just whiny libfem mogai bullshit to let privileged, wannabe-victim str8s invade True Queer spaces (until they get bored and go. Running back into the arms of the heteropatriarchy that adores them) when they’re talking specifically about bi women

boujeejanelane:

Bi women aren’t straight if we’re in m/f relationships lmao like straight people definently don’t treat me the same once they realize I’m attracted to women too. Like I don’t need anyone to care about my boyfriend or validate our relationship but I still need access to my community

Also nobody should say it, but straight women especially should not say that we deserve to be abused by men because we can choose not to date them like hmm… I wonder who creates an environment where we can’t express our attention to women…

lovewitch2016:

let’s be clear that these people who hate bi women for, idk, dating men, and blame them for abuse, are no allies to lesbians abused by men or women either. i’m focusing on bi women right now but let’s be absolutely up front about that. they are not welcoming or supportive toward lesbians abused by women, and you can be absolutely sure that any lesbian who was abused by a man will be seen as tainted by these people.
