I started thinking about this when I realized that MRA and anti-feminist men and women basically only make "criticisms" of women that are applicable to hetero women. for example, the dating standards women have for dating men; the "custody is always given to mother" rhetoric, which doesn't work if there are two mothers; "women wanting to take all the mans money" talking point which also doesn't work with two ex wives; the "society believes women are always innocent" rhetoric which falls apart when it comes to cases of female on female abuse etc. etc.

I am/used to be very interested in feminist theory but upon becoming conscious of my sexuality I realized that I was basically exempt from a large % of the problems most women deal with by virtue of not being romantically or sexually interested in men.

The broader issues of things like sexual violence still apply to me, but still, not in the same way most western feminist literature talks about it since I'll never be deeply emotionally involved with a man (whether romantic or platonic) I guess the threat of stranger sexual violence is more relevant to me, but that's not focused on much in western feminist discourse. Economic equity and health are still relevant but in different ways. Worrying about beauty standards only applied when I thought I needed to appeal to men to get success in life.

It would be unfair to say that my attitude is 100% due to being a lesbian, because I've been very involved with reading radical feminist text which naturally helped me form an identity that wasn't based on pleasing some man.

Basically, what do you think from your personal perspective about how much feminism focuses on hetero dynamics? I'm not saying it's wrong because of course most women are straight so most feminists are straight. I'm just wondering how you relate to feminism, or if you've taken an interest in lesbian feminism specifically?
