Meanwhile, you guys have to go to the actual site (click the title of the video at the end and you will be redirected there ....actual videos are down below) and read some of the viewers' comments, specifically the one that mentions "rabid white lesbian."
Classic.
People like that make me sick. They have their own faults, their own problems and yet they lay the responsibility on the shoulders of those that have nothing to do with what they are doing, i.e., me and my clit sucking entourage. Straight people and their problems do not affect me and my lesbian lifestyle so I’m pretty unclear of how I stop anyone from (a) being straight or (b) wanting to marry another straight person. Please believe, if it appeared that every person on this earth were straight and swung their dicks and vaginas from trees, I still would not bite that fruit. I would find me some woman somewhere and marry the hell out of her. Because I am who I am. My gender, my sexuality, my ethnicity, my writing, my voice...they are all my identity and I will stand tall and proud to be who and what I am. No person or group of people can alter who I am intrinsically.
Furthermore, feminism is not about abortion, lesbianism, or gay rights. Feminism is about respecting a woman's right to choose to be Suzy Homemaker or Jane the Builder. There is no feminist law that says you are only a real woman if you don’t cook and clean. I personally feel like it makes me even more woman. I cook, clean, work full time, go to school, and am helping to raise three beautiful god children. My femininity, however, is not defined by these acts. That is the root of feminism, to be defined by your own standards, not that of the "good ole boys." Feminism is about a woman's ability to be strong in the face of adversity. Being uplifting of those in their community. Just being the best woman you can be, not based on society's opinion of what it means to be a woman.
Lastly, being gay OR feminist does not alter hetero-normative reality. Straight hoes do this to themselves. When I go to the gym, all you hear are women complaining about how fat they are and how they have to get in shape for a man. Ummm...hell no. You need to get in shape for yourself bitchz. What I don’t think the heteros understand is that they are their own problem. They are so concerned with fitting the normality they themselves created they can't see the forest for the trees.
PS.
Ajarae, although you may agree with some of the statements made, I don’t know where the "truth" you refer to resides in either video. Those statements were assertions. I don’t recall any factual evidence being purported. Additionally, there is no way an "ideal" can be true to anyone but those that agree with it. By pure definition, ideals are personal preferences for ideal situations. Furthermore, if you agree with any of the ideals listed in these movies, you MUST recognize the hetero-normative stigmas at work in your own psyche. There is nothing wrong with that. You have the right to choose your ideology, but be aware of the programming at work when people, hetero or homo, believe in these generalized, propaganda-filled statements as truth rather than opinion.
