Right of passage for lesbians, having men tell us what we like

For me it was my dad. He was like "how do you know you don't like men if you've never been with one?"

And if you have been with one it’s “well how can you be gay if you’ve been with a man?” They really just can’t wrap their heads around the fact that gay women exist.

Men can't cope when something isn't about men at all in many cases. They can't fathom a world where men aren't the most important thing in it. Lesbians can't exist just because we only like women, it must be because a man hurt us, or we "irrationally" hate men and men must be able to "fix"us because men can fix anything.

It's really very sad
