lesfem-impa:notallmeninists:lesfem-impa:ya know, I was gonna reblog this and ask if “gatekeeping” meant lesbians can totes love and fuck men, or if it meant not all lesbians are goldstarsbut since I’m apparently blocked and can’t reply, I bet I have my answerAre the “lesbians” getting those messages those bisexuals/pansexuals who call themselves dykes? That’s a disgusting message but not all lesbians are feminists (and thus wouldn’t see the problem with misogynistic insults) so if that message was sent by a lesbian I can understand their frustration. I don’t really follow your question, but it’s not non-lesbians calling themselves that getting them. At least not all of them. My best friend was raped and she started getting them. I’ll give you more details once I get home.The only “gatekeeping” aspect is the implication that one cannot possibly be a lesbian if they’ve ever slept with men in the past (which the messages imply, since they target lesbians and assume that they’ve slept with men even though I don’t think all the victims even have? But it’s basically saying that they are all bisexual if they dealt with compulsory heterosexuality and saying it in a super gross, offensive way which makes me think it’s not even a lesbian writing the messages at all.) And yes, all the messages I’ve seen so far have only targeted lesbians -radfem and libfem alike, but all lesbians from what I’ve seen. -- source link
