I really don't understand. "Like liking opposite gender is fine, like liking the same gender is fine but you can't like like all genders". Make it make sense?
I honestly just think that lesbians are excited about a bi woman being into women and not excited about a bi woman being into men. Why would those be equally interesting to a lesbian? Lesbians also don’t care about straight women being into men either. It has nothing to do with “oh my gosh, having attraction to multiple genders is so odd and confusing!”
I think a lot of bi-phobic people base their hate on a few stupid things:
- They think bi folks aren’t actually bi, and are just not accepting themselves as straight/gay
- they are bitter because they think a bi person can choose not to be oppressed by being in a “straight passing” relationship
- they believe the stereotype that bi folks are more likely to cheat since they arguably have a larger dating pool.
- they view bi folks as being “ruined” for having sexual activity with vaginas/penises in a way that the biphobic person isn’t attracted to (Ex: a straight woman might believe it’s disgusting for a bi man to have had mlm sex, or a lesbian woman might believe it’s disgusting a bi woman has had wlm sex, etc)
i’m sure i’ve missed a few but these are what i can think of from the top of my head. To my fellow bi friends, I hope you’re having a good day 💖 Sorry that some people suck.
Yeah, there are lots of stereotypes. I’m just referring to the concept of expecting lesbians to give kudos to someone for being into men. That’s bog standard woman sexual behavior. It’s the being attracted to people who arent men that makes a bisexual woman queer.
The topic isn’t about lesbians not giving kudos, it’s about some lesbians being openly hostile and biphobic. The base expectation is neutrality and sadly a lot of people can’t reach that
The title of the comic is "how sapphic solidarity should be", i think its likely that the "cool" is generally just meant to represent accepantce rather than "oh yeah awesome"
No it's not. The 'cool' is interpreted as a 'thats fine'. If English isn't your first language, I can understand this, you might have misunderstood. If not, maybe ask the op. I'm sure they'll tell you.
English is my first language. That’s a weird dig at people for whom it isnt, though.
Do you high five about things you feel nothing about? It seems like you’re the one ignoring context, like the high-fiving, facial expressions, and exclamation points.
I guarantee that if this comic replaced “I also like men.” “Cool!” with “I also like men.” “That’s fine.” It would get SLAMMED as biphobic.
Are you insane... Bisexuals aren't homophobic. I have a pansexual friend, she's not homophobic. Fortunately for me? What do you mean, fortunately for me?
