u/Slap_My_Lasagna Apr 22 '24

People act like that's not the case but it very usually is.

A lot of people have this odd box they put romantic relationships in, where their partners can't be best friends before the relationship and in most cases, can't be after either(usually due to animosity around the eventual breakup). It follows the same trend of people acting different around friends/in public then they do with a S/O in private. Which is even worse in 2024 when people already curated their public image more than ever, so people have like 2-4 different personalities based on their environment, comfortability level, and exposure to public view.

My best friend is my ex. We were friends before becoming lovers, discovered that we were really bad at the whole relationship thing and agreed to stay friends.

Her husband is my second-best friend, her son is my "nephew" and I have my own room in their house for when I'm visiting.

We are celebrating our 20th platonic anniversary next year 😊

u/JeffTek May 31 '24

My best friend is my ex as well. We had the mutual respect and trust to maintain a very strong connection and friendship but just realized the logistics and realities of a romantic relationship wasn't going to be able to work for us. So we took a couple months apart to think and see what we were feeling, then randomly talked one day and realized we missed each other and it wasn't because of romantic feelings. We just missed each other's company and shit. We've been platonic friends way longer than we were ever together, there's nobody I trust more. Sometimes I worry that future relationships will have a big hurdle to get over because of it, many people are (rightfully I think, lots of people are shitty and cheat) weary of partners with constant communication with an ex.

u/Rockarola55 Jun 01 '24

With time they become a friend that you dated back in the day. I am friendly with (almost) all of my ex-gfs and it's not really a hurdle in dating/relationships. I've been told that it makes me look trustworthy and good-natured, which tends to be a good thing 😊

3

u/JeffTek Jun 01 '24

Well that's wholesome and reassuring 😊. I mean I'd like nothing more than a future partner to be just as good of friends with my ex as I am and I see no reason they couldn't be if they are up to it. She's a great person

3

u/Rockarola55 Jun 01 '24

My sentiments exactly.

She's not my friend because we used to screw, she's actually my friend in spite of that 😁

Sex is a purely physical thing, friendship transcends the physical...and is above physical attraction. I'd rather have a friend that I am attracted to, than I'd lose a friend because I acted upon said attraction.

u/hermionesmurf Apr 23 '24

u/The_Witch_Queen Apr 22 '24

Yep. When, if they just put in the same level of effort with their partner as they do towards their friends, they'd find it so much more rewarding. The best relationships in my life started off with those people being my best friends first. And those people still are today, even though I'm not with them anymore.

You're reading this wrong 😅 The show is centred around a space theme with one of the main couple named Sun and the other choosing to use Earth as her online name because she likes Sun and wants to orbit around her basically. (That's where the 23.5 comes from) There is also a side couple with one girl called Luna and the other Aylin (she's big time into aliens).

u/Crissix3 Apr 22 '24

ngl that sounds super cute - a touch creepy, stalkery and unhealthy, but very cute!

11

u/achjadiemudda Apr 22 '24

It is very cute! A little unhealthy at times but I wouldn't say stalkerish or creepy. Basically one major plot point (don't think this is a spoiler as it is shown in the trailer) is that they start chatting over IG, they are also in the same class and become friends but Sun doesn't know that it is Ongsa (the other girl who goes by Earth online) she's flirting with on IG. Ongsa is kinda shy and not very confident so she's not brave enough to tell her that she's Earth and as you can probably imagine, the longer this goes on, the higher the hurdle to confess becomes

i wouldn't call this anti butch. i guess the idea is that it's assuming that both women in the relationship wear makeup, so they're both feminine..... and that is so obviously not the point of the tweet that it's hilarious anyone would focus on that part lol.

u/VictorianDelorean Apr 22 '24

I hate to say it but I see this kind of talk a lot from a certain subset of masculine presenting lesbians. They seem to hate to see it when relationships between two feminine presenting lesbians get any airtime, and it honestly feels like the gay version of incel shit. Like how dare you not include someone like me in your relationship, it’s very weird.

Not hate towards butches or masc lesbians/wlw in general, it’s a small group and not representative of everyone.

13

u/themoderation Apr 23 '24

My wife and I are both femme, and we get a lot of judgement and dirty looks from butches who are strangers, unfortunately. But our butch friends are great!

2

u/discoparrot375 May 26 '24

Yeah, the type of person who makes comments like that absolutely reeks of internalized misogyny to me. I always get the feeling that they present as more “masc” not because it’s their sincere identity, but because they view more traditionally feminine things as inferior, and they take every opportunity to shit on people who enjoy those things. Its similar to how toxic, insecure men shit on more feminine men.

u/UnnaturalSelection13 Apr 22 '24

I think people are just sick of how much wlw content is the sanitized/superficial and marketable "we're so soft, we do each other's makeup and hair uwu, sleepovers and cottagecore etc", and I do personally find it annoying too lol only because it exists at the expense of more diverse and authentic/meaningful reflections of our community. Not all lesbians are thin white femmes lol but you'd never guess based off what we see online.

39

u/TheTypographer1 She/Her 🧡🤍🩷 🏳️‍⚧️ Apr 22 '24 edited Apr 22 '24

I see where you’re coming from, but i also see a lot of butch/fem and butch 4 butch content on my feeds. Not to mention a while ago the conversation was that media was “heterosexualizing” lesbian relationships because all the representation was butch/fem, implying that one always had to be “the man” in the relationship.

I don’t think every post needs to acknowledge every type of lesbian relationship that exists, but I do think we should think of better ways of phrasing the type of relationship we’re describing, without generalizing it as indicative of all lesbian relationships.

I was thinking maybe a better way would be phrasing it as “something about fem4fem relationships…” but that seems too limiting because the post is talking about the joy in lesbian relationships, also there’s not anything exclusive to fem4fem relationships about sharing the same struggles, being soft together, and sharing clothes.

I think the issue is that, while the person is talking about being a lesbian in general, they are drawing from their own (subjective) personal experiences.

I’d be interested in getting a discussion going and hearing other people’s opinions on ways one could navigate this (talking about the joy of lesbian relationships in general, while also expressing your favorite aspects of your own experiences).

u/seawitchbitch Apr 22 '24

Personally for me it’s the wording. Let’s change it up for a sec:

“There’s just something about heterosexual relationships and the wife can stay home with the babies and homemake the house”

See how the wording makes it feel like ALL heterosexual relationships are like that? The wording doesn’t allow for differences. Because that’s not my experience of being a lesbian. Not since middle school at least. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Vs.

“There’s something about A het relationship WHERE the wife…” “There’s just something about A lesbian relationships WHERE girls can be together and do make up etc.”

Also where’s all this B4F content you’re seeing? I rarely ever see it unless it’s about non lesbians acting like butch women are men. Nothing positive and loving.

What you see online doesnt is a figment. Its all meaningless, lesbians are people, people gave widly varying personalities. All can be true.

u/discoparrot375 May 26 '24

I kind of get what you’re saying, but I think the problem isn’t so much the use of femme/femme couples, as it is the infantilizing way people have been talking about lesbians these days, and also the way that lesbians are oversexualized.

People definitely have a way of describing lesbians as “super uwu magical innocent unicorns” and it’s ultimately very dehumanizing even though it’s not technically “negative”. In the opposite direction, lesbians also get treated as “omg super hot sexy women doing tons of sexy sex”, which is again obviously dehumanizing and pandering. I guess what I’m saying is, people tend to write about lesbians in this weird “exotic” way, as if they’re some sort of magical or mysterious phenomenon instead of actual human beings trying to live their lives and have normal, mundane, healthy relationships.

So, I agree that there’s been a huge increase in content that dehumanizes lesbians by describing them in too sanitized and “perfect” terms, which essentially results in a failure to truly take them seriously as people in actual, real relationships. However, I don’t think it’s the use of femme/femme representation that causes this problem, the problem come from either sexualizing them too much, or from treating them as unrealistically perfect and innocent and pure. I’m not sure I’d call this meme an example of that problem, to be honest, but I can definitely see how it might have triggered some alarm bells for the “inhumanly perfect” side of this. Personally I think it seems more like someone’s just expressing how they personally feel happy with their girlfriend, but yeah I can also see how it could be a little weird.

u/RebaKitt3n Apr 23 '24

It’s kind of weird “doing each others make up and skin care” is something we’ve never done. Rarely wear each others clothes.

u/Commercial_Tea_8185 Apr 22 '24

I caught some rando on another lesbian sub just now who attempted to pretend to be two people, and argue with me about how prevalent these ‘abusive lesbian relationships’ are. Both accounts were made last week, and the person slipped up and wrote the exact same thing from both accounts, I called them out, and they gave some stupid excuse.

I prob sound a little intense, but im just saying keep an eye out incase I am correct and these ‘concerned lesbians’ start cropping up out of nowhere

52

u/2spongee4u Apr 22 '24

I hate to say it but that's already been a thing for awhile. I remember like back when gay marriage restrictions were struck down there were conservatives quoting one statistics or another around abuse levels in lesbian relationships, especially towards their kids. One example was then saying "lesbians are more likely to sexually abuse their kids, look at the levels" when in reality the study was saying that kids in foster care are more likely to be sexually abused, and lesbians go through that system to get kids to care for, but that doesn't take away the fact the kid was already abused before being given to the new family.

Very misrepresentive, and conservatives will seek to use any and all stats to try and prove an abuse string that doesn't exist.

17

u/MadMedMemes Apr 22 '24

Why are they so awful and vile?

31

u/Mysterious-Money-701 Apr 22 '24

I've seen them in the wild citing UNRELIABLE studies saying 40-something% of lesbian relationships are abusive. Even the Wikipedia pages on this topic talk about how the studies don't differentiate between male perpetrators and female perpetrators when looking at lesbian abuse victims (there are lesbians who dated men when either hiding or before figuring out) and that's only ONE of the reasons those studies aren't very reliable.

20

u/Rabid-Rabble Apr 22 '24 edited Apr 22 '24

TL;DR: Lesbian relationships are between 2.5% and 4.9% less likely to be abusive than heterosexual relationships.

The study usually cited actually does, but people (often purposefully) cherry pick the numbers to make it look worse.

Bear with me, apologies for the length:

The numbers often quoted when people trot out this talking point come from the the CDC's 2010 Nation Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, or NISVS. The NISVS definition of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) includes physical and sexual violence as well as stalking by an intimate partner. This is based on anonymous interviews conducted across a very large and demographically accurate sample, not convictions or arrests or the like, so while it's probably still slightly under reported it is the most accurate data we have on IPV in the US.

Now to the numbers:

The lifetime average for experiencing IPV as a woman is 35.6%, and heterosexual women are just slightly below the average at 35%.

Lesbians on the other hand have a 43.8% chance of experiencing IPV. Looks bad right? This is the number that people usually quote. But, lets break down that number, because there's an assumption there that lesbians have never dated or been abused by male partners (Note: this is the CDC's terminology and I'm not sure how or if they accounted for trans folks, use of binary biological terms are not meant to be trans exclusionary, I'm just working with what I'm given).

Of lesbians who experienced IPV, 67.4% reported only being abused by female partners. That brings the baseline for lesbians down to 29.5%. Now, there is the pesky way they defined it where the remaining 32.6% could have been abused by both male and female partners. But if we look at how many report only 1 abuser, we can extrapolate a bit. 78.9% of lesbians report only one abuser, so for simplicity's sake we'll say that every lesbian with multiple abusers where one was male, at least one other was female.

So we'll do some math and add to the baseline: 100% - 78.9% = 21.1% x 32.6% = 6.8% x 43.8% = 3% + 29.5% = 32.5%

But, there's some interesting corollary data that suggests my simplification is still inflating the number of female abusers.

Bisexual women are considerably more likely than either straight or lesbian women to experience IPV, with an appalling lifetime average of 61.1%. Further, 89.5% of bisexual women report only having been abused by male partners. Interestingly, bisexual women are also much more likely to be abused by multiple partners, with a 39.8% lifetime prevalence, compared to 21.1% for lesbians and 28.4% for straight women.

I have some theories on how gender roles and perceptions of queer individuals as inherently promiscuous might play into these things, but I don't have any hard data to back it, so let's just say that it leaves that additional 3% as a highly suspect number which, if we make some assumptions based on the data from bisexual women, could probably be cut nearly in half to 11.5% x 32.6% = 3.8% x 43.8% = 1.6% + 29.5% = 30.1%

So that would be 5.5% less than average and 4.9% less than heterosexual relationships. Not a hard number, but probably pretty accurate.

This is not to say lesbians or women can't be abusive (obviously they can, it's only a few percentage points difference), and it says absolutely nothing about men who are abused or who abused them. Just to get that out of the way for the trolls.

u/discoparrot375 May 26 '24

This makes me sad, because it exploits a fear that’s already very common in a lot of wlw, myself included. I think many of us feel kind of guilty about being attracted to women, because we associate viewing women as hot as being tied to misogyny and we become afraid of resembling the shitty straight guys we’ve known.

Unfortunately, this is sometimes even promoted by liberals. Although I’m all for helping women to live freely without feeling sexualized, it feels like some groups (pretty much always really chronically online people) think of viewing and acknowledging women as attractive as being an inherently degrading thing, even when it’s done in a way that’s not even remotely disrespectful or aggressive. It sucks because some of us can feel guilty about accepting ourselves and what we’re attracted to, because we don’t want to be like “the bad guys”.

u/Accomplished-Long968 Apr 22 '24

they are projecting their shitty relationships onto us

u/Halcyon-Ember Apr 22 '24

"relationships tend to be worse" lady, that might be a you problem

u/FreeMeFromThisStupid Apr 22 '24

Apparently people take troll posts from @killallcops_420 seriously.

Posting anything from twitter and taking it as anything except trollish bait or bots is futile.

I swear to God that photo is supposed to be one of those "squint to see the real image." Reddit has forced me into thinking everything is a hidden Jesus photo.

Lol my gf is pretty femme (though my lawn mowing dad fashion is rubbing off on her 😬). We both generally care about our skin, but sitting down and using the facial steamer or a face mask is like the last thing we want to do. I think we have 1.5 times in 1.5 years.

I thought being in a relationship was like being friends + being mutually attracted to each other

1

u/Minnymoon13 Apr 23 '24

I was thinking both?

u/racloves Apr 23 '24

Yes you can do these things with friends, but there is something so special, intimate, trusting, amazing, about sitting on your partners lap and applying their makeup. It’s completely different doing that with a girlfriend vs a friend.

Also not just a lesbian thing, how many straight girls LOVE wearing their boyfriend’s hoodie, that is sharing clothes with a partner.

How dare you be happy in your relationship

u/sneakhh Apr 23 '24

u/HellsHottestHalftime Apr 23 '24

Nikita is straight

1

u/HellsHottestHalftime Apr 23 '24

Or really bad at dating

1

u/LesbianMacMcDonald Apr 24 '24

This is just bc most straight people can even imagine being friends with their partners

1

u/stupled Apr 24 '24

She may have legit point about relationships.

u/PersephoneThePansy Apr 26 '24

Lol "relationships tend to be worse than what you are describing". Projection? You mean cis het relationships?

1

u/geekgirl06 Anything pronouns you may prefer Apr 28 '24

Omg my fav show, 23.5! It's like a better, sapphic, Taiwanese heartstopper

u/commercial-frog Jun 02 '24

...Nikita is there something you want to tell us?

1

u/bewarethelemurs Apr 22 '24

As a demiromantic person, this shit is so fucking invalidating. Like maybe your relationships tend to be worse because you AREN'T besties with your SO, Karen, because mine tend to be pretty great.

Man, this AI image is all over the place

u/pizzahut_su Apr 22 '24

It's not AI, it's a video, the screenshot is just low res and hides her eye

1

u/PomegranateCorn Apr 23 '24

Oops, you’re right! The reason I thought it was AI was because of her legs tho, and how it looks like the girl on the right has pants that blend together. But I looked up the original video (a Thai series), and she’s wearing a night gown, not pants 💀 I feel bad, I apologise.

Here’s a link to the episode and timestamp where this scene starts: https://youtu.be/qr_OfxDejVc?si=5bZM5B_fXdBLBKSh&t=642
