my friend told me today that her mom thinks we're lesbians because we both don't have boyfriends right now and we hang out a lot. i think that she was half serious, half joking and i literally have NO WORDS for how offensive and problematic i find the statement. now that i'm older (23) i've noticed that women are oftentimes assumed to be lesbians if they go long periods without dating a man...wtf is up with this?? i have nothing against lesbians and actually wouldn't mind dating a woman

It comes from the highly sexist and patriarchal notion that a woman’s value is based on what kind of man she can get, so we should be constantly striving to find a man, and if we’re not (or we can’t), then we’re failures, weirdos, or lesbians.

Fuck the haterz, man. You do you.

(But if you’re asking whether her statement was indeed offensive or whether it would be within your rights to say something to her about it: yes and yes.)
