Can we make a subreddit called “everydayheterophobia” where we discuss heterophobia mostly from lesbians/bisexual women, and make it exactly the same as this one!

One could discuss that angle, but I think it comes down to misandry anyway. A bit of a phobia and a bit of disgust with, contempt for and hate of men* — that's what actually makes some women turn to women for sex and relationships anyway. Or is there a phobia of hetero-exclusive women among lesbians and bisexual women?

* Edit: Fixed the prepositions because I have OCD about agreement.

Make it if you want but I'd bet money it will get banned if it hits over 1000 people

I think in lesbian spaces a lot of heterophobia comes from misandry. Whenever I'm in a lesbian sub there's always one person talking about her negative experiences with a man and then everyone else has to crap on the entire male gender. Meanwhile if there's a post about someone's abusive girlfriend or something, suddenly it's not 'women' or 'lesbians' who are the problem - it's just that one woman! And these are supposed to be "tolerant" places that don't accept discrimination, yet when it's towards men it's suddenly okay.

I hate the stereotype that lesbians hate men and of course not all or even most queer women are like this -- but a lot of lesbian media and lesbian groups allow for misandry to happen, which in turn sometimes creates heterophobia against bi women with people telling them their attraction to men is lesser.

So in regards to heterophobia in lesbian/bi spaces, it's usually still a symptom of misandry, not just heterophobia by itself.

We also need one for homophobia from bisexual women towards bisexual men. It's a interesting phenomena I can't help but notice happens way too often.

Reddit admins would nuke it instantly.

Hmmm, I don’t really believe “heterophobia” is a thing- I don’t think people are targeted for being straight. Whereas they are for their gender.

I would join.

Nah straight people don't face discrimination for being straight. It's not like misandry.

Is there any way you can sneak across the border in either direction?
