I hear a lot of lesbian feminists say that their sexuality sometimes conflicts with feminism. That doesn't seem to be the case for me. My body rarely reacts to "sexy" women, so I don't know how that feels. Is this because I'm asexual?
I think they mean that they end up objectifying "sexy" women, Gomez. And... I don't really appreciate that much the type of girl that would be in a men's magazine or something. I like them sort of real and also with a sort of strong-willed look, not slightly subservient as is the popular fantasy presented for men. And when I crush on a girl it only lasts more than a moment if I actually think she's interesting and funny and friendly too. So nope I'm not really afraid of objectifying women so much that it interferes with feminism. I see it just as appreciating them on a deeper level, which actually adds to my interest in women's issues.
