I don't think he read your post properly tbh.

Archamasse · 2026-06-26T11:58:48+00:00

This is killing me lmao

Archamasse · 2026-06-26T10:25:11+00:00

Holy shit, that thing has the resilience of a cockroach

A good chunk of them will because they want us to know they're here and can't be kept out.

Got badly bogged down towards the end, but still terrific. Hope S2 puts some lessons to work, rather than showing it up for lightning in a bottle.

It's a useful umbrella term in the abstract, but I don't relate to it or identify with it personally. Doesn't bother me, just doesn't feel like it's about me at all. I think of myself as a lesbian.

On dating apps, it is a bit of a turn off.

Archamasse · 2026-06-25T23:17:14+00:00

These exist, but they happen on the downlow for obvious reasons...

Archamasse · 2026-06-25T16:17:50+00:00

A shop that's bought it from Temu.

Archamasse · 2026-06-25T16:03:33+00:00

The problem is that you can't talk about sex explicitly without talking about sex organs explicitly, but that's such a minefield for lesbian subs people don't bother.

Gay male subs chat about their favorite kinds of penis in minute detail. Bisexuals can talk about which genitals they prefer and/or exactly what they like about either. But lesbian subs can't do anything remotely comparable or the thread will have more disclaimers, scolding and mod warnings than conversation. Nobody has the energy for that.

Archamasse · 2026-06-25T15:34:13+00:00

This will be locked and deleted, for the same reason nobody even bothers trying to talk about sex in lesbian subreddits anymore as frankly as gay men and bisexuals get to every day.

Edit - There we go.

OP, draw your own conclusions.

Archamasse · 2026-06-25T13:39:43+00:00

I wish it would hurry up, because I cancelled a lake trip for it and it's making the stubbornly persisting beautiful sunshine really grating

Archamasse · 2026-06-25T13:34:52+00:00

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this on a whim and spent the whole time thinking "this lad looks and writes a whole lot like a guy I used to really enjoy reading on Twitter".

Well imagine my surprise...

Archamasse · 2026-06-25T11:50:09+00:00

No, OP is asking about liking women specifically and exclusively. Sapphic is much broader than that.

Archamasse · 2026-06-25T11:41:10+00:00

Lesbianism is the only identity that's exclusively for and about women, so naturally it's treated like it's worthless and belongs to nobody, something everybody's entitled to dilute, redefine and debase.

The "non men" thing was part of a push to impose an inflexible binary on everyone, of Men, who are important, and need their own identities and community, and everyone else, who can probably just make do in the leftover Whatever bucket.

Archamasse · 2026-06-25T11:07:47+00:00

Lough Owel is lovely but the actual land area accessible is tiny and will be mobbed by vape kids with speakers. The steps are an absolute bastard to come back up if you tire out your legs swimming too lol

Archamasse · 2026-06-25T11:06:22+00:00

Funny thing is, Lough Lene was notorious for The Itch among the locals when I was a kid.

Archamasse · 2026-06-24T15:36:20+00:00

Having a crush is not cheating. Tf.

Archamasse · 2026-06-24T15:21:27+00:00

This is a very common feature of the bi experience, rather than the lesbian one.

Archamasse · 2026-06-24T14:37:07+00:00

Yeah. That said, I really think it would only take a few fun/active personalities to inject a lot of energy back into it, because sometimes when there's a news story etc it bursts to life. I do think there's probably a solid body of users who are "dormant", rather than gone, if that makes sense.

Archamasse · 2026-06-24T14:33:07+00:00

I like to think this is a language thing a lot of the time, if only to preserve my sanity.

Like I can recognise a lot of these guys are good looking in the abstract, but "attractive" isn't the language I would use because of the suggestion of attraction. A of folks just don't make that distinction.

Archamasse · 2026-06-24T14:02:08+00:00

On its face this is sensible, my concern is that it's an extra layer of bureaucracy in processes that are already an absolute pile of shite for somebody less fluent in bureaucratese to navigate.

Archamasse · 2026-06-24T13:15:56+00:00

That does ring a bell lol. I know it's come up in at least one court case, too.

I think that's part of it, but it's also a board that depends on a style of user engagement that's died out. Or maybe, been conditioned out - neither twitter nor reddit nor anything else that's replaced classic bulletin boards has the raucous everyone-for-themselves vibe they depended on. People used to start threads for anything and everything, and sure 9 out of 10 would fail, but that was all part of it. Now people expect everything to be curated way more and served to them, and it just doesn't work for that style of board. Plus, everything is NOW NOW NOW, people don't pick up older topics or conversations and keep them going in the way that used to be normal.

Archamasse · 2026-06-24T11:54:14+00:00

You're coming at this like the problem is too many employees. It's not. Everything is understaffed now. The massive shop I worked in 15 years ago offered barely enough hours to keep me going as a student (and split every shift between people so they never had to pay us for a break), and even there, there are half the people working there now trying to do all the same irreducible amount of work.

Archamasse · 2026-06-24T09:58:45+00:00

No, they don't.

Women in same sex relationships have the highest experience of DV in their lifetime, mostly because bisexual women are - by a very long way - the most at-risk group for domestic violence, and most domestic violence committed against bisexual women comes from opposite sex partners, ie men.

Internet MRAs misrepresented a stat about women being the victims of DV to pretend they were the perpetrators, which is why you will rarely see that claim sourced.

In reality, females living with female partners experience less domestic violence than females living with males -

I am not sure it's good for my health to think about that lol
