And no, I don’t believe any female is naturally heterosexual. We are relentlessly pressured to be heterosexual and to believe that that is natural, but it isn’t. We are bombarded with heterosexuality shoved down our throats in patriarchy and its media. The truth is hard to find. How many of us were told the real story about “the birds and the bees?” We’re not told that you never see a heterosexual honeybee because almost all bees are female, and the very few who are het (the “queens”), are het only for a moment in their lives. Children are indoctrinated with animated movies about bees and ants (ants also almost all female and never heterosexual), with the main characters male, including one voiced by a famous child molester). Finding the truth in the maze of lies makes it much harder to internalize the Lesbian-hating they teach us to have about ourselves. Many species of animals live in female communities and they keep the males out because they know that males are rapists and the murderers of their babies.

i don't believe anybody, no matter what their gender, gets to speak for every female in the world like that first sentence tries to. i doubt a set of people that large can ever have anything universally in common save their defining attribute, if even that.
AFAIK (and please, anyone who knows more about entomology than me, feel free to correct me) worker bees and ants, while in fact all female, are really asexual, as the queens are the only females that have sex and do procreate.
That does not make these worker bees and ants lesbian by default!
"Many species of animals live in female communities and they keep the males out because they know that males are rapists and the murderers of their babies."
Let's pretend it's true, how exactly did the babies come to be?
Most social insects aren't sexual at all. And I have had some gorgeous, mellow, kitten-loving, baby-sitting tomcats (not fixed), who would take issue with your characterization of them.
Doubting Thomas:
There's a remarkably strong strain of it running through a certain subset of radical feminism (it's not as widespread among them as transphobia is, but it's definitely there and has been for decades), and a lot of the "pure" androphobia might as well be heterophobic.
"And no, I don’t believe any female is naturally heterosexual. We are relentlessly pressured to be heterosexual and to believe that that is natural, but it isn’t."
Holy fuck, what's wrong with you? Get a sharp stick and go play with spearhead and stop bothering decent people.

Try not to sound so much like Bryan Fischer, m'kay?
Really? Bees and ants, therefore all women are lesbians?
Are you really sure you want to start comparing an entire gender to insects?
Wow. You couldn't be more wrong if you tried, Bev.
I was born 100% female & straight. I do not hate lesbians nor do I think all men are rapists. That is truly disgusting.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to hand over your vagina there, Bev. You are unworthy to possess one.
>Radical Lesbian Feminist
Why... This almost sounds like these Liberal Commie-Nazis we hear about every day
>We are getting indoctrinated to think sex is man + woman
First of all, it's called sex education. Second of all you can be lesbian if you want, but at the end of the day babies don't grow on trees
>All men are child molesters, child murderers and rapists
You need to get laid, badly
I'm amazed how similar it sounds to homophobic rhetoric :
"And no, I don’t believe anyone is naturally homosexual. We are relentlessly pressured to be homosexual and to believe that that is natural, but it isn’t. We are bombarded with homosexuality shoved down our throats in feminism and its media. "
The main difference being that some are angry paranoid bigots and the others are angry bigoted cloud cuckoo landers.
Frankly, it's truly amazing how such opposites can have so close worldviews !
Also, dylanstrategie : just shut up. This kind of post is not welcome.
If you feel you can be both heterosexual and homosexual, then you're a bisexual, dearie. You can't, however, know how the rest of us women feel. We are all individuals with different feelings, and we won't be pushed into a box by either misogynists or feminazis. The problem is the patriarchy and the misogyny, not the heterosexuality.
Eh, most bees are sterile workers, it doesn't really matter what genders they have. The workers are almost genetic clones, so if they did have sex, it would be more like masturbation than homo- or heterosexuality.
The only species I know that live in exclusively female communities are some species of the whip-tail lizard.
Some species' male instinct is to kill off other males' offspring, get the woman in heat and have offspring of their own. In many cases the female choose the mate, she won't let just anyone near her.
I had no idea radical feminists were able to asexually reproduce. Do they take in nutrients through sunlight too?
By the way, I always hear radical feminists throw the word misogyny around. (Like at every male who has ever existed.) Is there a similar word that describes an irrational hatred for all men? I'm honestly curious.
"We are bombarded with heterosexuality shoved down our throats...."
....
So... many... choices! Must... try ... to be... kind!
SoItakeityouhaveaHellofagagreflexthen?
Damn it!
yeah, there're male honey bees and ants. i don't think in either case the males are involved in the colonies, which would make for a more sensible argument for you about how society should be female only.
factually correct but still insane and stupid.
And no, I don’t believe any female is naturally heterosexual. We are relentlessly pressured to be heterosexual and to believe that that is natural, but it isn’t. We are bombarded with heterosexuality shoved down our throats in patriarchy and its media.
It's the straight agenda!
heterosexuality shoved down our throats
Err... OK.
tries to think about something witty to say about lesbians... and blowjobs...
and such...
Say, is it getting kind of warm in here?
Though male honeybees just mate and die, male bumblebees babysit, clean house, and, in some species, forage.
Incidentally, if a honeybee hive resembles a dictatorship, it's a dictatorship of the proletariate. If the queen slows down on egg production, the workers specially feed a female larva to be a new queen, and before she emerges, they sit on the old one until they squash her.
"and the very few who are het (the “queens”), are het only for a moment in their lives."
Protip, darling: how sexually active you are has no influence on your sexual orientation. I'm heterosexual, and the fact that I am also a 35 years old virgin doesn't change that in the slightest. Oh, and I also managed to reach that age without raping or murdering anyone, thank you very much, and I intend to keep it that way.
Someone projecting their own messed up life experience onto the entire world/humanity/mankind...
Point about bees and ants though--it wasn't until middle age I learned every ant or bee worker is female and they only keep the odd male drone around for a couple weeks as a sex slave, then they die.
The funny thing, sweetheart, is that, unlike male homosexuality, lesbianism hasn't attracted half the attention its male counterpart has. It has never been contemplated as a sin, persecuted or publicly condemned until, the earliest, the 18th century. What prevented those women to have a lesbian relationship in parallel with their heterosexual one with their husbands?. It just makes no sense.
Confused?
