The post said she hates their bodies. I'm not sure what is so... 'bad about saying that.  She's a lesbian. Of course she's going to hate seeing a man's body. The same way a straight woman would probably hate seeing another woman's body, right? I thought that's how it worked. |
Yeah, that's exactly where I'm at. I am technically bisexual, in that I find women more visually appealing, but by lifestyle I chose to marry a man. I don't find men particularly attractive, but I don't *hate* them. It's the notion that if a woman prefers other women, it must mean she hates men, and must have in some way been damaged by one, that offends me. Is the same thing true for gay men? Do they hate women, and that means somewhere in the past some woman has been mean to him?
