Also, when I wrote that I believe that all people are to some degree bisexual, I mean biologically capable of same-sex attraction. Probably many, if not most, people are not aware of any bisexuality in themselves, because it is so obliged to be repressed and is taboo in patriarchy. Even today, and even in the global west.
I had no awareness of any capacity to be attracted to women, until I'd read enough women's herstory and feminist insights about culture to be completely turned off by men. Or at least knew I could never have a relationship with a man and be happy, or feel like it was healthy for me, because I would always feel encouraged by him to do things he'd like, and I would always be questioning if he were socializing me into being a woman I didn't want to be and wouldn't be healthy for me. It was only at that point of realizing I wouldnt be happy in a relationship with a man, and figured I'd be celibate for life, that I started feeling attracted to a lesbian woman. It took facing lifelong celibacy to stop repressing what I discovered was my ability to be attracted to some lesbians. So from my experience, it's possible to be biologically capable, but unaware of attraction to women or lesbians, because of being taught lesbianism is unacceptable. Unthinkable. Everyone should be allowed and respected to identify who they are and aren't attracted to. This should never be forced. Whether for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, or heterosexials.
And tp be clear, none of this means that any and all sexual taboos should or may be broken, such as pedophilia. The taboo against pedophilia/child abuse is healthy amd imperative, because it is about respecting and protecting the rights of a child. Children and under-18s are not capable of consent. Any form of sexuality that is abusive is rightfully and unequivocally unacceptable.
Mem didn't drive me to lesbianism. That is a complete misreading of what I wrote. Men's sexism, such as yours, drove me to celibacy. Celibacy allowed me to discover my biological capacity to be attracted to some lesbians. I have zero interest in being with any man. You missed my whole point. There are no decent guys out there. Jist sexist ones. As I described before. I realized that no man has been raised outside of patriarchy. I already dated the most pro-feminist men I could find, and realized finally that I wasn't going to find anything different, because no man has been raised outside of patriarchy.
Second, you just can't seem to get over your prejudice and ignorant belief that heterosexuality is superior. It isn't. Certainly not for women: its oppressive, its slavery, and it's therefore inferior.
Thank you. I'm glad to hear we have some common ground.
I agree that young women are being socialized to pretend to be lesbian, or to try out lesbain dating or sex to be attractive to men. Just so you know, many lesbian feminists consider that because women are doing this to be "hot" in the eyes of men, we consider this to be heterosexual behavior -- to please men -- and doesn't represent lesbians or lesbian feminist culture. Its more male bullying of women to "perform" for men. Sick and sad, evermore patriarchy.
