I actually think that these claims that making fun of men is biphobic because bi women sometimes like men or even misogynistic (because I guess liking men is inherently part of being a woman) are actually themselves biphobic and misogynistic. the men a woman dates/likes are not an extension of her, and her personhood is not vested within them. there are unsettling implications here about women's agency in the process of who to date. I resent the assumption that having a mockable (and potentially genuinely awful) boyfriend is an unavoidable part of being a woman and therefore a protected characteristic???

#i should've saved that post I made a while ago #the one about how all women are potential lesbians #feels relevant to that bc any negative sentiments towards men #are only accepted in the context of [what is taken as] an acknowledgement of the inevitability of giving them power over you anyway #which is itself deeply misogynistic+the idea that being attracted to men means u endorse their hegemony is like not a cool position to take #towards bi women. or straight women for that matter #bc i always have to say it:im not saying ur friends being horrible to ur partner for no reason is fine #but I don't think that happens as often as tumblr wants u to think #and if it does. there's probably a reason they hate him!!#but im saying the way it's framed is just so misogynistic
