That whole article boils down to:

Lesbians, like 100% of other people, think they're more special than they really are.

SurfaceTension: I don't want to know what lesbians do in bed. I can figure that much out for myself.

What I want to know is how do they know they're done with sex? With us guys, we spurt and that pretty much signals the end or at least the beginning of the end. But lesbians could go at it for hours if they wanted to. So how do they know to be done?

if you don't know, you're not doing it right

It's questions like these that truly make me wonder if the person asking it has ever been with a woman.

Are you saying that as a dude, as soon as you get off, it's over?  What about for your female partner?  I would sincerely hope you have some sense of when she's done.

We're done when the sheets are soaked, dude.

Earguy: My question for a lesbian, and I have asked my lesbian friends and never really gotten a good answer:

Look, I get being attracted to a woman.  Guys are gross.  Women are beautiful and they smell and feel good.  But I see many lesbian couples where one is femme and the other is "butch."  You'll even see lesbian weddings where one wears a dress and the other wears a man-tailored suit.   My question is, if you're attracted to masculinity, why not be with a man?

I'm not trying to be a smart ass here.  And I'm not being judgmental.  I'm just perplexed.

Why don't straight men date feminine guys... they're attracted to femininity, right?

I'm not trying to be a smart ass either, but I think it boils down to the "they're not into dudes" part.

So black people can call her a dyke, but not Irish people in Boston?

Ryker's Peninsula: If you're not attracted to men, why do some of you dress, act, and look like them?

Probably because (1) men's clothing is more comfortable; (2) women often "act like men" when they feel no great need to "act like women", and (3) the best part about being a lesbian is you don't have to care whether or not men find you attractive.

PapaChester: To answer the last question, short hair doesn't look good on anyone.

Wrong.


If you want to know why short hair looks good: it's because it shows off the neck.

So, STFU.

rynthetyn: BlousyBrown: I knew a girl once who was thin and pretty. She dated a guy for years, and seemed to care about her appearance. She was always well groomed and had beautiful long hair. Suddenly, out of now where, she dumped the boy friend and decided she was a lesbian. I understand it may not have been sudden to her, but to the rest of us it was.

My point is the minute she turned, she cut of all her hair, put on 60 lbs, and adapted the cargo shorts with the button down short sleeve collared shirt. She completely let herself go. WHAT GIVES?

She was probably dressing all feminine as a way to overcompensate so that no one would guess who she really was. People tend to do that.

So becoming overweight was who she really is?  Does becoming a lesbian mean you have to become unhealthy? Being fat is not a statement of sisterhood, it's just being fat.

gambitsgirl: Wait. Is tits filtered? Or did I fark up?

What's with the whole moving into together after a month of dating?

If you like women, why do you want a woman who looks and acts like a man?  Seriously.  No seriously can someone answer this?

Because they're delicious with a yummy cream filling?

Earguy: My question for a lesbian, and I have asked my lesbian friends and never really gotten a good answer:

Look, I get being attracted to a woman.  Guys are gross.  Women are beautiful and they smell and feel good.  But I see many lesbian couples where one is femme and the other is "butch."  You'll even see lesbian weddings where one wears a dress and the other wears a man-tailored suit.   My question is, if you're attracted to masculinity, why not be with a man?

The fact is it is who is in the suit. It can also be how they look in the suit. For instance, there are plenty of straight guys who think Marlene Dietrich looked very fine in a man's suit. According to your logic sense those guys are attracted to Marlene Dietrich in a suit, it means they are attracted to masculinity. Do you think that means they would also be attracted to Milton Berle because he wears a suit?

MeanJean: dk47

No it goes beyond taste.  There is at least 33 1/3% of lesbians who like masculine girls.  There are MAXIMUM 1/2 of 1% of straight guys that like chicks with dicks.

You are aware that men who consume transsexual pornography overwhelmingly identify with as straight, right?

Seriously. Every trans lady I've ever known has reported that straight guys are the primary demographic interested in them.

The thing that I think y'all are forgetting is that a trans person IS, mentally, socially, romantically and every-other-way-that-matters, the gender that they present as, albeit occasionally with different bits. If you are a straight dude who likes ladies and who is either okay with and/or attracted to ladies who happen to have dude parts, then a trans lady might be just as valid a choice of partner as a cis lady. ('Cisgenderered' is like OEM or completely stock, just as 'transgendered' is like 'aftermarket mods.' Lots of things are best explained with car metaphors.) Conversely, if you are a straight lady who likes dudes and is okay with and/or attracted to dudes who have lady parts, well, then a trans dude might be a valid choice of partner. Or not. Whatever makes you and the other party happy.

Some straight, cis dudes only like straight, cis ladies, some straight cis dudes only like straight trans ladies, and every other gender and OEM/aftermarket configuration imaginable for happy couples (or occasional menages a' trois, committed polyamorous triads, quads and pentads, etc., etc.,) is out there. And then when you add femininity and masculinity in one's gender presentation to the mix, you get EVEN MORE options.

Basically, human sexuality, like most things, is like car ownership. Statistically, most people are happy with a plain, stock Toyota Camry or Ford Focus, but some people out there have tricked-out rat rods and rice-rockets with aftermarket mods, fancy paint and performance accessories out the yin-yang.

But no matter what, we all have to use the same parking spaces, merge on the same highways and pay the same shiatty tolls. We're all humans and we all have dignity and rights.

So it would be terrible manners to voice a lower opinion of anyone for their choice of romantic partner as much as their choice of car. We might think that a tricked-out Accord is tasteless and vulgar or that a trans lady would look better if she made slightly better fashion choices, but we'd never say so aloud. To criticize another person's private property or romantic partner in public is boorish. Civilized people only ever criticize artistic works put forward for criticism, political positions of public figures and the food, and the latter only when the chef isn't present and listening.

I have heard plenty of lesbians talking about how they do the strap-on or the fun they had with the double dildo.  I have never heard couple of gay guys ever mention doing the double plastic vagina or arguing over who gets to wear the plastic vagina.  Penis envy is alive and well in women.

11. Would you be a lesbian if you weren't allowed to tell anyone that you were a lesbian?

lordargent: "damn, she would be so much hotter if she cut all of her hair off" is a statement that has never been uttered by a straight man who did not have some sort of a short hair/bald head fetish in the history of mankind.

This.

I have yet to find anything about ten stupid lesbians in TFA, subby. Where are they?

dk47: If you like women, why do you want a woman who looks and acts like a man?  Seriously.  No seriously can someone answer this?

/Same goes for gay men who like effeminate gay men

Lesbians like lesbians, which fall along a complex spectrum. Regardless of how they "present" outwardly, they are not a straight male, nor straight female. It's kind of like how Obama is not black, nor white. He's a mix that is neither one nor the other. (But somehow he's considered the first black president, go figure).

Anyways, as any frustrated and befuddled man can tell you, women are very emotionally complex and process situations much different than men. They have different needs. They want the kind of love and understanding they can't get from men. The attraction is less physical/sexual as everyone keeps implying, but really more mental. Safer, where they dont risk as much man/woman relationship pain. They understand how female brains operate, they understand the same language, they know how their partner is feeling because they can relate. That's my guess anyway.

It isn't that they are just shallowly imitating hetero couples. The butch femme thing is a very complicated, multi-layered, interpersonal statement.

Also, I would imagine it allows one to enjoy having a masculine partner without having to deal with one of those yucky penises.

And what lesbians think of penises is a laugher. Also watch what gay guys think of vaginas.
Honestly, as a hetero male, I think the lesbians have a healthier view of things.

i know this is going to be offensive to some...so sorry in advance...

but how many lesbians are just straight women who have given up on attracting a man?

I find it interesting folks never ask this of effeminate gay men.  Sexuality is simply more multiple choice than it is true/false.  Also, the author's earlier article is pretty hilarious:http://www.newstatesman.com/lez-miserable/2013/03/le z-miserable-youre- very-pretty-have-you-ever-had-sex-american-girl

11. Since a lot of your sex is oral anyway, what is wrong with smoking a pole?

Right. Spend fifteen years trying to figure out who you are, while panicking about whether your friends and family will accept that person. Have entire sections of society discriminate against you and douchebags you went to school with ask you a ton of stupid questions (see this article). Discover what it feels like to be devalued and ridiculed in mainstream media and politics. Done all that? Then you can call me a dyke. Maybe.

In my opinion, when you call yourself something, you set the standard.  Saying others can't call you that unless they bore the same cross you did is frankly just a self-congratulatory double-standard.  If you think you're a dyke enough to call yourself a dyke (whatever that means to you), then you're a dyke, and requiring other people to adopt a higher standard so you can have your own pedestal is just ridiculous.  If I hear you seriously call yourself something, then I feel at liberty to call you the same thing.  Personally, I'm not going to call you a dyke because its not a word that comes quickly to me, but if I hear you call yourself that, I certainly don't consider it off-limits.

So, ummm, here's a question for lesbians:

How do we get electricity from nuclear energy???

Cyberluddite: I have one.  I've asked a few lesbian friends this question and they can't figure it out either.  And it's this:

What's the deal with some lesbians (pretty much exclusively chubby, butch ones--never femmes) who wear shorts as their casual apparel of choice all winter when it's cold outside and nobody else is wearing them--especially given that these same lesbians often tend to not wear shorts in the summer when the weather is hot and everyone else wears them?

Have others noticed this?  Or is this just a  local lesbian fashion trend, not seen elsewhere?  I dunno, but the bottom line is that if you see a woman wearing shorts around here in December when everyone else is bundled up in warm clothes, 99.9% of the time they are both (a) fat and (b) a lesbian.  WTF is up with that?  Any TF lesbians wanna take a shot at answering that one?

I have a similar question. Why do some lesbians dress like guys? I mean; that's what you don't like, guys. But, I'd say 50% of lesbians dress like guys.

By guys; I mean, backwards hat set at douchbag angle, tshirt with one of those designs drawn by a drunken tatto artist and baggy, frumpy cargo shorts.

/ the point of being a lesbian is being with a girl; not a girl that dresses like a guy!

One of the very rare experiences I had was back in 1973, the year I graduated high school.  I am from a very small community in SW La.  Total seniors the year I graduated was 19.

We had quite a few lesbians in that school for being such a small school.  Amazingly, even in that day we tended to ignore them without being mean or what ever.

One night I was taking a date out and we stopped by the local bar (drinking age was 18 but we could go to that bar at 17), and the two main lesbian girls were there.  Somehow we all made plans to go to the drive-in together, a double date kind of thing.  I had a 66 Dodge Coronet at the time and they ended up sitting in the back seat while my girlfriend and I were in the front.

I can't remember the movie, but what I do recall is everyone was making out... my girlfriend and I in the front seat, the "girls" in the backseat.  I was very aware of the heavy breathing and the little wet sounds of fingers dipping into the honey wells in the backseat.... I was so farking aroused at the faux orgy that I blew a wad in my pants.  At that age I could usually get a couple off a night.

I will never forget that night.

ModernLuddite: Why aren't lesbians allowed to have fun/sense of humor?

Because we'd just lose it anyway dealing with men all the time and not having the benefit of wanting to sleep with them to make it worthwhile.

She's missing out. The new Tegan and Sara album is awesome.

/straight male

Why aren't lesbians allowed to have fun/sense of humor?

My question would have to be; can I see your boobies?

PapaChester: To answer the last question, short hair doesn't look good on anyone.

I disagree. Carey Mulligan, for example just looks a 100% more adorable with short hair.
