its 2:31am. im thinking about the fact that ive never met a woman who hasn’t been treated like shit by a man. u ever think about that? u ever think about the fact that its a defining experience of womanhood to be subjected 2 the cruelty of men? that every woman knows that fear, that pain, that anger, that sadness? nothin breaks my heart more than that
Do you ever just see a strong woman doing her thing and become instantly inspired? It’s like a breath of fresh air when I see a powerful woman doing her thing, and I become empowered.
Date a woman who knows the beauty of being alone.
Date a woman who is hard-headed, who is not afraid to speak her mind, who can be stubborn and passionate and wants to have the occasional debate because she wants to learn how you think and how you see the world. She questions assumptions (including her own), explores ideas, breaks molds. She is naturally curious. She wants to be stretched.
She wants to change your mind and she wants her own mind changed.
Date a woman who knows fear, sorrow, loss. Who isn’t scared to get naked. She knows that her own beauty lies in knowing her true value (but now and then she forgets, and then you can step in to remind her).
Date a woman who knows her way around her own heart and is not afraid to break it. She knows what it wants and she stands up for it with conviction.
Date a woman who knows how to make real eye contact, because she values intimacy. She thrives on her capacity to build authentic relationships and surrounds herself with only this kind.
Date a woman who knows that she loves at least one thing fiercely: her children, her work, her art, her trade, her garden, her animals.
Date a woman who knows that taking/offering space to grow can sometimes be the best kind of love that one person can offer another, even when this means saying goodbye.
Date a woman who you are unsure of at first, not because she doesn’t seem like enough but because she scares you a little bit in her realness. Yet she continues to surprise and challenge you in this very way every time you see her.
Date a woman who knows how to laugh at herself, who might sometimes just crack the corniest jokes but they make you smile anyway.
Date a woman who sees as much possibility in sitting in silence as she does exploring every nook: world, body, mind, soul. She holds a quiet confidence. She walks with purpose.
Date a woman who knows that her heart is fragile. When it becomes too melty and heavy she might tuck herself away to feel better: let her. Then drop her a note or stop by for tea to lighten her up (she will need this but might not be able to ask for it).
Date a woman who will drop everything in a millisecond to help a friend in need.
Date a woman who knows that love is something that comes from inside, not something that she can ‘get’ from someone else, because she knows that she is love(d).
Date a woman who accepts herself today but (gently) pushes herself to be better the next. You will want to do the same by just being around her.
Date a woman who understands the problems with being ‘too busy.’
Date a woman who is sure about this one thing: that we can never really be sure about anything.
Because life is fluid. And each day she realizes how beautiful and scary this is, and so she humbles herself to it. She starts each every day looking to learn, experience, create, teach something new, because she knows that this is what makes life (worth living).
Date a woman who knows art and music. She may not create it herself but she needs it to move through her because it makes her (and the world) better.
Date a woman who understands the value of taking a risk, who is not afraid of making a mistake because she knows how to pick herself back up after she falls.
She’s ready to accept your offer to help her up the next time she does.
Date a woman, not a girl. But when the little girl in her comes out now and then (and she will), you will still love her as the woman that she is.
Be with—no, know—a woman who wants to understand herself a little better each day. She wants to understand you too. You may not have met her yet, but in a way she already does.

dear bisexual / pansexual women and political lesbians,
you need to immediately disclose to any woman you plan on dating if you are, in fact, a lesbian, or if you are something else. some lesbians are open to dating bi / pan / PL ladies. some are not. withholding this information is harmful, deceitful behavior that can make lesbians feel unsafe and devalued.
picture it: you’re a lesbian, looking to start a relationship. you meet a woman who claims that she, too, is a lesbian. this signifies that you have, at the very least, a shared sexuality, and you can bond about your experience as a woman who is attracted exclusively to women, which is outside of the patriarchal, heterocentric structure of the vast majority of societies.
now, imagine that you, a lesbian who is incapable of being attracted to men, get a confession from your girlfriend: she discloses to you that, yeah, actually, she could possibly be with a man and feel emotionally and sexually fulfilled. she, as a bi- or pansexual, is capable of thinking about having sex with a man and not feeling revulsion. your initial feeling of intimacy and security related to the sharing of a sexuality - one of the most basic aspects of your being, which is essential to you - is gone.
wouldn’t that hurt? wouldn’t that make you feel insecure? wouldn’t you get angry, if you were put into that position?
You know what would hurt me?
If I was in a relationship with a lesbian and her finding out I am bi was some sort of horrific secret that must be confessed like some shameful pox.
The fact that bisexual women are seen as being dirty or alien because we have or feel the capacity to be in intimate relationships with men is HARMFUL. It is biphobic and it is disgusting.
The entire notion that bi women are less valuable and less desirable as partners because we have and/or have the capacity to be intimate with men is so blatantly biphobic and bigoted that I can’t believe I even have to explain it.
How about THIS: Biphobic lesbians who would feel betrayed and insecure because of a bi partners identity have an OBLIGATION to disclose that they are biphobic assholes when they enter into a relationship, in case any bi woman they are interested in was unaware of what an asshole they are.
yea if you’re biphobic just tell the girl that & don’t expect her to be like DISCLAIMER: NOT REAL LESBIAN because while she’s just being herself, you’re being an ass… so the responsibility is on you.
Repeat after me:
a trans man can wear feminine things
a trans woman can wear masculine things
Human beings can wear whatever they want regardless of gender
Please don’t let this die out, it’s important for young trans guys and girls who may feel unaccepted by the trans community because they wear clothing that is the antithesis of their gender.
.:~*all clothing is gender neutral*~:.
Woman does not emerge from a man’s rib’s, not ever, it’s he who emerges from her womb.

if yall can’t handle cellulite or stretch marks or freckles in weird places or natural hair that grows on the woman’s body then plz just tell me how it feels to be weak ? lmao (:
There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.

What’s hardest for a woman isn’t losing him. It’s forgiving herself for falling in love with his potential, knowing damn well she saw the warning signs and his inconsistency.
Ughh
