So I got the dreaded comment...

Earlier today, a man started making inappropriate advances towards me. I told him that I’m a lesbian and he said 'have you ever at least tried being with men? Why have a fake dick when you could have the real thing'.

I just completely froze for a moment, then walked off without saying a word. Genuinely, why the fuck are some men like this?

Worst part is that I've been with men and all of the memories are either vague or distressing. I think back to the times I was dissociating during sex, or times my body was trying to signal its discomfort, but because of past trauma tried to push through unquestioningly.

I just want to scream that certain men see lesbians as conquests instead of people.
