noticed a trend in the lgbt community where women and/or sapphics make something that's meant to reflect a community culture (ex: sapphic as a term + flag, lesbian flag, etc), organize and create community projects (trans women doing this and working towards recognition/acceptance) or creating terms meant to describe misogynistic oppression (you know which ones), men decide that they need something like it In The Exact Same Way to the point of piggybacking off of it or complaining about it. like just blatantly copying it even when there wasn't/isnt historical backing for them having the exact same thing . there's a very "what about me"-ism to it all

#like the whole 'it's just a flag' thing set a precedent that laid the groundwork for unchecked misogyny #the problem wasn't *just a flag* the problem was the blatant disrespect even though it didnt seem like a big deal on the surface #* i wrote women and/or sapphics cause emily gwen is a nonbinary lesbian and i specifically mentioned the lesbian flag #does this like. make sense. this post feels very messy #honestly it could be summed up as 'entitlement from men and misogyny'#with a dash of 'i am feel uncomfortable when we are not about me ?'
