A couple of years ago there was a prominent lesbian academia type who passed away.
When you read the news about her life, you could click on a link that took you to a list of prominent “womyn’s studies” types with short bios after each one.
I remember recurring themes that seemed to contradict the whole “born this way” meme...
- anger at daddy
- anger at a boyfriend or husband
- many described a life of being straight - and then retraining themselves to change. (out of a sense of anger)
- I remember one describing her former addiction “to the male gaze” - which she freed herself from.
anger, anger, anger.
Did you ever see “The Color Purple”? Lesbian sex was presented as a contrast to the dad’s rape which “always felt like he was pissing on me” (or words to that effect).
I remember times when it was so much more comfortable to commisserate with women when guys had acted like jerks, and I could see a woman wanting somebody who could understand her, rather than somebody so different from her. I think emotions sometimes have a bigger impact on women.
