Bi-supremacy - Untitled

If you give $100 to a homeless person, they'll be in shock by your generosity. They'll feel guilty taking such a ridiculously large amount of money from you.

But if you give $1,500 to your landlord every month, next year they'll demand more unless the law literally says they can't.

Meanwhile, people demonize the homeless person as a "freeloader" while respecting the landlord.

“This culture is not only heterosexist, homophobic, and biphobic, it is thunderously sex-phobic, and we women especially have borne the brunt of it. It seemed we could only choose between pristine purity - with attendant boredom - or infamy as sluts. Worse, if we showed any interest in sex at all, sexist men would take that as an invitation to walk all over us and abuse us. Even if we showed no interest, sexist males would take our mere femaleness as invitation. No wonder the radical-feminist line hardened around an anti-sex stance, and the whole realm of sex had become tainted by all that uninvited, often violent attention.

But, isn’t it about time to reconquer the realm of sex for ourselves? Isn’t it time for this woman to ask: “What do I want? What turns me on? Who turns me on if I’m not influenced by any attitudes whatsoever, neither from left nor right, neither from straight nor gay and lesbian? Isn’t it time to finally drop all labels of sick or sinful or politically incorrect? Is this not the most revolutionary act as a woman could perform today?””

“It’s one thing to be bisexual and quite another to live as a bisexual person, to make that space in the world for yourself every day, to consciously work to blend those feelings and relationships. It’s a real charge… when I can do it.”

- Billy Jones, Bi Any Other Name: Bisexual People Speak Out

“Up against criticism from conservatives and fundamentalists that the gay lifestyle, if not a sickness, was at least a sin and was wilfully “chosen,” gay strategists instead asserted that they were “born that way” and could not change even if they wanted to. It thus became popular, as well as politically expedient, to argue and assume that people are either one or the other. Related to this, an important question is whether one can demand rights for a “choice.” As long as sexuality is seen as fixed at birth or soon after, gay legal theorists who base their gay civil rights arguments on monosexual assumptions about sexual orientation can argue that gays should be a protected class and deserve civil rights on that basis. No one is currently arguing in the courts that same-sex love can also be a choice and, like religion, also deserves defence on that ground.”

I just want to slap a pretty boy in the face and have him thank me. Dick hard, eyes soft and wanting as he bites his lip. Face reddened from my handprint.

You like that, don’t you, you little slut?
