I want lesbian movies about a young girl meeting her high-school sweetheart and watch their romance blossom through school and then college and then eventually into the adult world where they realise there's no-one else out there for them. I want lesbian movies about a hardened WWII female soldier who meets a headstrong but sweet nurse and fight for their love until they can eventually be together in a little cottage, passing off as spinsters with their age and just being seen as two friends living together. I want a lesbian movie about a quirky exchange student who falls in love with a girl in her exchange country but their language and culture barrier makes for slapstick scenarios that leave the audience face-palming and the characters blushing. I want a lesbian movie about friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, lovers to enemies to friends to lovers. I want innocence, I want passion, I want romance, I want comedy, I want more than what we have.

I want lesbian media that doesn't revolve around men or cheating or prejudice or betrayal or lust. I want lesbians, I want love.

I’m wishing to be accepted as who I am

Where I can express and show who really am

But but but …..

I am in a world that is way possible to accept me.

I can’t contain the hurt that will cause to my mom, with my dad? IDC about him, He’s a pastor and will despise me for sure.

So how can i express myself? How can i introduce my long time girl? How can i show them that i want to be with her? How?

I just wanna shout to the world and be proud of me..be proud of us..

PS: we are almost 6yrs now.

It’s so attractive when someone actually puts in efforts to see or talk to you.

there is really nothing "artistic" about putting foundation on your face to even out your skin tone, concealer under your eyes to hide your natural colouring, black gunk on your eyelashes to make them look longer, etc. and you cannot convince me there is anything creative about trying to make yourself look the exact same as anyone else. if you want to put bright red glitter on your eyelids that's your business but we all know that very few people are doing extravagant makeup looks on a daily basis. the vast majority of makeup is about ridding yourself of all imperfections and looking the same as everyone else, often at the expense of your skin, eyes, money, and time.

makeup is fundamentally about preying on women's insecurities and convincing us that our natural faces are not good enough. why don't the vast majority of men want to participate in this fun artistic practice? why are their bare faces considered acceptable at formal events, job interviews, workplaces, auditions, etc.? there is something inherently demeaning about the fact that an entire sex is expected to paint their faces to be deemed societally acceptable. men have convinced us that our natural faces are too ugly and offensive to be seen without a coat of paint on. it is insulting, demeaning, and the furthest possible thing from empowering.

and the other thing is that wearing makeup does not exist in a vacuum. when you buy another $50 foundation, you are lining the pockets of men who have built careers of off women's insecurities. when you fret about "putting on your face" before leaving the house, your daughters, nieces, cousins, friends, etc. all see that and internalize those messages as well. they are learning that their faces are also too offensive to be seen in public, and they will in turn teach that message to the women in their lives.

the rise of social media is the biggest evidence of this: for the first time, girls as young as 10 and 11 are buying and wearing makeup to school. and not only are they wearing makeup, they are GOOD at makeup. they have barely hit puberty but they've internalized everything they see online that tells them their bare faces are not good enough.

i'm tired of pretending this isn't insulting. our looks are not the most important thing women have to offer.

Lesbians had their subreddits removed for acknowledging that predatory, rapist, pedophilic men started calling themselves women in an attempt to gain access to women's and girl's spaces and bodies and then reddit went ahead and and gave a man that identifies as a woman who called a 10 year old rape victim a "slut" that he "would take" access to censor the thoughts of over 400 millon people. What the fuck is it going to take for you troglodytes to realize you are on the wrong side of history?

And let's not fail to mention the rapist in question was this dude's father

I’m gonna rant a little for a second bc in the U.K., a woman named Sarah Everard was kidnapped and presumed to have been murdered by a male police officer. The MET police’s response? Asking women to stay home and be more careful when they walk at night.

Sarah Everard walked down well lit streets. She phoned her boyfriend and talked for most of her journey. She was literally just walking home. And she is being blamed for her own murder. The narrative surrounding this story has turned into what women should do to avoid these situations and not exposing the harsh reality that a police officer has literally done the exact opposite of his job description.

This story has hit hard with so many women across the U.K. and I have had so many conversations with friends in the last 24 hours about how tired we are. Of how insane it is the things we have learned.

Like how we learn to walk with our keys between our fists. Or how we text each-other when we’re in the Uber not to let friends know when we’ve set off but so they know where to look if we go missing. Or how sometimes we put a ring on our left hand bc a guy is less likely to harass you if he sees you as belonging to another man already.

We’re tired. We’re frustrated. We’re angry. 97% of women and girls in the U.K. have been sexually harassed. And men on twitter are telling us ‘not all men’.

Perhaps not but when it’s practically all women being sexually harassed then society needs to be looked at, starting with how we raise our men to treat women and the horrifying things we expect women to learn to do to avoid their dark sides.

why do men hate women so much?

one of the best feelings is being caught off guard by someone's kindness towards you, especially when you're having a bad day, and you can't stop thinking about it for the next two weeks
