It's just not equivalent. When boys are being raped, beaten and killed in equal numbers by girls, I will probably feel the same way.

It's already been normalized. For that, I cannot take credit.

It was, I should have worded it better. My brain doesn't always perform at peak efficiency when I am blinded by rage.

I never meant to imply that lesbians do not rape or get raped. I was just voicing my hopes that if she identifies as lesbian she will not run in the same circles as these types.

Never said that, and didn't mean that.

Are you new to the internet and how it works?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean that at all, and I'm sorry if you feel I was marginalizing experiences like yours.

I should have been more careful about how I worded it. Of course I understand that lesbians are raped too. I used to work for a rape-crisis hotline, so I know better than most people that any person can be raped at any time.

Yes! Thank you.

Exactly. Just thinking out loud. Should have been more careful how I worded it.

I'm sure being a teenage boy is no picnic either, but most of them don't have to fear that they will be raped or killed by teenage girls. It's just not equivalent.

I know. It just sucks all around. Doesn't make any sense, but I can't help feeling that way sometimes.

Thank you. My bad, really. I should have thought before I posted. I don't always do that. Damn you, internet! You make it so easy!

Thanks for understanding. I posted the comment before I thought it through- I should have taken into consideration that some people would misunderstand what I was saying.

It's not really logic at all. It's just a knee-jerk, over-emotional response. I'm sure I'm not the only mother of a pre-teen girl who feels like that from time to time.

Lesbianism is not misandry.

As a hetero teenage girl, I certainly did.

I don't really understand your comment.

No, not at all. It's just my knee-jerk reaction whenever I see something like this. Deep down, I know that identifying as lesbian won't necessarily protect her from guys like this.
