no offense but straight girls are fucking exhausting and i dont mean that in the “i keep getting crushes on them” way i mean it in the they keep fetishizing/romanticizing m/m relationships while finding every flaw imaginable in f/f relationships to call them toxic and manipulative while hiding behind their m/m ships to pretend they’re not homophobic and i’m so fucking tired i’m so so tired that men can get away with literal murder but if a woman makes one mistake she’s suddenly satan herself and i’m just so so so tired
The fact that it’s illegal to be gay in 75 countries and that homosexuality is punishable by death in 10 countries and you can be refused service because of your homosexuality and you still can’t get gay married everywhere people still have the audacity to talk about straight pride as if straight people face any of the same kind of discrimination that LGBT people do and it just makes me SO ANGRY
str8 ppl always ask me how wlw couples figure out who should be the one to propose. they always seem to ask this under the assumption that both women would prefer to be on the receiving end of the marriage proposal and would feel like they’re sacrificing a certain experience by being the one to pop the question. from what I’ve seen a way more pressing question is how do wlw avoid accidentally proposing to each other at the same time.
Wlw: *accidentally plan proposals at the same time because they’re so in love and mutually excited to be together*
Str8ies: incomprehensible, where’s my gender roles????
The older I get, the more I find heterosexual couples so…weird. It’s not that men and women are inherently different in irreconcilable ways, is that they’re socialized to believe they are, and it shows in how male/female couples interact. There is this awkward, unnecessary communication barrier between them based on their perceived gender differences. This obviously doesn’t apply to all heterosexual couples; I’m sure there are plenty with great communication and so on. But the large majority of the ones I’ve encountered in the past few years just don’t. It’s uncomfortable to watch.
They have all these weird notions about each other’s genders, and it’s so out of place for me. Like, women will let their husbands get away with not doing housework because “men are helpless” and men will talk about how their wives are “just hormonal” when they come to them with a legitimate grievance that needs to be talked about, and so on and so forth. Just a lot of back and forth that seems perfectly normal to them, but to an outsider who doesn’t experience this kind of heteronormative behavior often it’s like…
i’d like to share my hypothesis that this exact phenomenon is why straight writers struggle to write gay relationships (or project heteronormative constructs onto those relationships). they literally just don’t understand a relationship where one person doesn’t treat the other like they’re part of an alien species.
uh hey fuck the idea that it’s somehow more radical + revolutionary for straight people to break conventional gender norms than it is for gay people to do so. it’s not.
when you say shit like “she’s masculine but she’s NOT GAY isn’t that amazing” or “he’s feminine but he’s just SECURE IN HIS SEXUALITY” what you’re really saying is “isn’t it amazing that these people aren’t afraid of possibly being assumed as gay” which is shitty enough as it is meanwhile gay people are putting themselves in real danger by defying gender norms and being shamed for it for “conforming to stereotypes” while straight people are praised for doing the same
Have you ever heard someone say something SO straight that you can’t even process it right away? Like it’s not homophobic or ignorant or anything its just SO straight that you have to sit there for a few minutes silently because your queer brain can’t even process it?
hey, so, I’ve been seeing a lot of people complaining about heterophobia! so, I’ve decided to raise some awareness! In red, I highlighted the countries where straight people are oppressed because of their sexuality. please reblog to spread awareness of this injustice!
the most fucked up thing about married straight couples in paranormal reality shows is that the husband is almost always the skeptic and the wife will be like terrified to exist in her own home and she’ll beg her husband to believe her and she’ll be crying every night and he’ll straight up look at the camera and be like “I don’t know I guess I just thought she was imagining things.”
like this is beyond belief in ghosts what it comes down to is one member of these couples was so distressed they were in tears nightly or at least weekly, BEGGING their partner to listen to them, and their partner was like “whatever this’ll blow over.”
how does your relationship survive that?? how are these people still together?? if my wife came into the room crying and told me she’d seen bill watterson, author of acclaimed comic calvin and hobbes, manifest in our kitchen and tell her he didn’t like our wallpaper, I’d like. obviously have some questions. but I’d fucking address her distress and take steps to make her feel better lmao???
these husbands are all garbage and they feel justified bc they weren’t the “crazy one” who believed in ghosts.
they were the good, logical, “sane” spouse who did rational and good things like, completely and purposefully ignore their partners’ growing and life-altering distress for months.
