jokes about how “if sexuality was a choice there would be no straight women” are fine i guess, but ultimately the assumption that straight women (or even bi women in relationships with men) are oppressed specifically for their attraction to men (therefore insinuating that lesbians somehow “have it better”) is not only erasure of the abuse that wlw experience at the hands of men specifically for their sexuality, but also normalizes the idea that m/f relationships cannot exist without a certain level of misogyny coming from the side of the man, which contributes to the pressure placed on women to “settle” for men who do not respect them. this pressure is something that is placed on the shoulders of every woman, regardless of sexuality, and to assume that the only way out of it is to be exclusively sexually attracted to other women is to basically accept your lot in life instead of holding men accountable for their poor behavior. if you’re a straight woman and you can’t find a guy who treats you properly, stop dating guys. because guess what? the assumption that women require romantic partners to lead fulfilling lives is also a byproduct of misogyny.
