no but literally don't go about celebrating women's day without considering how you may have biphobic and misogynistic ideas about bi women and how you could have perpetrated biphobia and misogyny against them. yes even if you're a woman. yes if even you're a wlw. yes even if you're bisexual yourself.
here are just a few examples of things I've seen
- victim blaming bi women who are abused by men, implying women don't abuse other women
- simultaneously claiming bi women can escape oppression by dating men
- expressing disgust and slut shaming bi women who have a lot of sex, especially sex with men.
- viewing bi women as being tainted or damaged by men, seeing bi women as undesirable because they've had sex with men
- framing bi women as being uniquely dangerous to women, wlw, and the LGBT community because of the dangerous cishet men they all date and bring into safe spaces
- framing bi women as dangerous and toxic to lesbians in particular, seeking to manipulate them into threesomes with their boyfriends, or using them and then leaving them when they realize they actually want a man
- thinking of bi women as inherently subservient to cishet men and the patriarchy
- seeing bi women as less dedicated to feminism and LGBT liberation because of that subservience
- claiming bi women's love for other women isn't real, or it isn't as deep because of their attraction to men
- seeing all bi women as feminine and gender conforming, who only present the way they do to be desirable to men and are therefore incapable of being truly gnc
I could literally go on and on and on people are so fucking misogynistic and biphobic toward bi women it's insane and it's almost always driven by the inability to seperate bi women from men. you cannot be against misogyny if you treat bi women like this.
