Because of your mother.

More testosterone.

Because they argue about who will be getting the largest piece of nutloaf.

Because that’s not funny.

OP you make up so many stupid threads. I realize I'm giving you attention you so desperately want by replying to this stupidity. I just want you to know that you have other ways to get someone to 'please pay attention' to you. I hope you'll tell a therapist about this. You may have other easy strategies.

I don’t know, but everyone should read this transcendent memoir about lesbian domestic violence, it’s unlike anything written before with such beautiful prose for such violent actions and it’s an under addressed topic.

too many political lesbians in the community given a pass to police the lesbian community harder than the religious reich does while promoting a mostly celibate sex life as they generally hate everything but frottage. Even french kissing counts as penetration and they're so against that. No tongues, fingers, toes, sex toys... unsurprisingly few seem to be against fgm because they aren't keen on a clit stimulation either.

And there's a lot of Kissing Jessica Stein types in general... lesbians more than gay men attract a wide assortment of women claiming to be dykes but are perpetually stuck in a bicurious fanfic phase or are more defined as not being attracted to men but neither attracted to women, hthey lean on the homoscial rather than attraction.. but even the nature, sexuality, of lesbians is more difficult to define than same sex attraction for many in the lesbian community...

And there's loads more memes about the college les-Bi-an.

There's a lot more divided factions... and most of them wrap sexuality up in a blanket of hypervigilant politics.

add this to the mostly true stereotype about bringing a uhaul on the first date... this is a setup for many problems.

We could discuss socioeconomic conditions... that lead to a greater power imbalance and more difficulty in leaving bad relationships.

There's also the lesbian community, I would dare say, is more tight knit and community oriented than gay men. . . this too adds to social pressures and more rigid demands towards comformity and traditional expectations for lesbian relationships. And this sometimes can lead to a loss of community or being shunned by said community as inevitably people take sides.. and creating friction or lesbian drama in this tightknit scene, where you'll run into this drama everywhere from the community centers to the activist march to the pubs. It's more dramatic than Jen vs Angie.

or we could look at biological and social differences. . . such as gay men's openess to non-traditional relationships, such as open or polyandric. . . the greater ability to have sex with no strings attached while more females generally have a chemical reaction that produces more feelings of bonding and intimacy post sex...

But really, it's likely more the socioeconomic conditions... the greater violence tends to be among those that are finacially struggling or poor. While emotional and psychological abuse claims tend to come from economic and social power imbalances. Which don't necessarily have to be financial.. this could be one partner being more attractive or desirable than the other, more outgoing, or whatever... the more stark differences between lesbian couples, generally the more dyke drama. The more clones, the more the drama is delayed... until they reach menopause... which is usually where lesbian bed death sets in because not all women experience menopause the same or reach it at the same age. . .

lack of communication, jumping into relationships, burning the candle at both ends, nesting and offspring, far more image conscious than their aesthetics suggest. . . jealousy, suspicion,

or as the outraged, pearl clutching this thread will attract... just being humourless and perpetually offended at all the things they can't control, especially other people, inclusive of their partners.

Sex positive dykes tend to be a lot more stable than the regressive politico.... hence, they tend to be hated by them.

Because a nail gun from Home Depot can be hard to resist showing off for lesbians.

I don't know why spme people are offended with this thread.

It's True. The DV among lesbian couples is very high and needs to be addressed.

" some people"

by Anonymousreply 13August 19, 2022 10:34 AM

Has anyone actually looked up the stats to see if this is even true?

OP has posted this exact same thing before, and I see I have this old link in my browser history, probably from the last time he trolled with it.

This doesn't appear to be true. It appears that DV stats for heteros, gays and lesbians are all roughly the same. However, there is a stat based on a study that asked lesbians about DV from before they came out and when they were dating or married to men, and that raised the overall percentage of lesbians who have experienced DV. You can read more details here if you're curious, which you're not.

R14 I didn't post a thread about this topic before!

If there was a thread about it, I wasn't the one who posted it.

by Anonymousreply 15August 19, 2022 12:28 PM

To clarify something, I'm not comparing DV between lesbian couples and hetersexual ones. The comparison is between lesbian and gay couples. The violence among lesbians is more prevalent.

by Anonymousreply 16August 19, 2022 12:31 PM

It's all the possessiveness. Gay guys know they can just move onto the next guy, but lesbians LATCH onto their current conquest like it's the last pussy on Earth.

Good lord! I'd rather be beaten a million times than be in the same room for 5 minutes with that bloviating queen at r7.

This thread is a revelation for me. Lesbians are beating the shit out of each other AND pro female genital mutilation???? It feels like my brain just got rearranged. What is to be done? The lesbians have really lost their way.

by Anonymousreply 23August 19, 2022 12:54 PM

r12 It's the DL, that's what women are here for to be homophobic snots and then whine how misogynistic you are for even talking about women. how dare you. Why do you think they defend lesbian killers so much? Especially those threads involving murdering their own kids. They really hate autistic kids despite most of them being close to it. Oh, the internalized shame caused by the gaytriarchy never ends.

Hey R7, ya moron, now write about 20 paragraphs on why the moon is made out of green cheese. And, then you can start on your scientific analysis of 'why the sky is plaid' and 'water isn't wet'.

by Anonymousreply 25August 19, 2022 1:04 PM

Oh wow!

R14 actually linked data, and OP just talks shit without statistics…

by Anonymousreply 26August 19, 2022 1:06 PM

So, now that the pro/anti trans thing has been virtually eliminated from this board, there is now renewed misogynist focus and an attempt to cast lesbians as the enemy.

The owners and operators of this board are plainly anti-woman and show that at every opportunity.

A lot of those numbers in the stats about lesbians being in abusive relationships, are lesbians that were abused by their ex boyfriends/husbands, before coming out.

by Anonymousreply 31August 19, 2022 2:06 PM

R31, that’s sad but weirdly reassuring. What about the support for FGM?
