What is political lesbianism?

Political lesbianism is a practice of intentionally choosing a lesbian identity for political and feminist reasons. Political lesbians reject sexual and romantic relationships with men and choose to develop relationships with women instead. They may or may not be sexually attracted to women, and they may or may not engage in sex with women. They may believe that sexual orientation can be freely chosen, or that "lesbianism" doesn't require homosexuality, only not having sex with men and orienting one's life around women. The concept of political lesbianism originated in the 1970s and '80s. It is controversial; many lesbians find the term offensive because they regard their sexual attraction to women as innate rather than chosen and define their lesbianism based on that attraction, regardless of politics.

Feminist scholar Sheila Jeffreys advocated political lesbianism as a way for feminists to center their lives around other women.

What does "political lesbianism" mean?

A belief by women who are so undesirable by everyone usually due to some combination of bad attitude, unpleasantness, wanting to use someone as arm candy, and generally being fat and unhygienic that they become political lesbians, encouraging bi chicks to not date men or strait women to become lesbian. There are generally two types of these women, first type are strait but they are undesirable to men so they want to get revenge on the men whomst refused to date men by converting as many women as possible to be lesbians. The second type is lesbians who are fat and creep on non-obese lesbians whomst hope to convert strait women to lesbian so they can take advantage of someone not familiar with lesbian dating, known to target especially inexperienced women or women on the autism spectrum. Legbeard bi women usually don't end up here since they alternate between hating men and woman depending on the gender of the last crush to reject them was.

lesbian 1: don't date her, she is a political lesbian type 1 she just wants revenge on men
bi chick: what of Karen, she asked me out?
lesbian 1: don't date her either she is a political lesbian type 2, she will just use you for arm candy to prove she is the fat chick whomst can get the attractive lesbians.
