The Real Truth About Lesbian Love

» pentimento - I never knew!

Ok, I knew all that, but the way you explained it made me laugh and that was a good thing.

Of course you didn't mention sex and I'm not sure where to go with that. Some lesbians actually do have sex, in bed and out of bed. But I suppose we don't need heterosexual women to know that, least they be tempted to join the club. And men already seem to fantisize about this... so.... hmmm.

Thanks for the laughs!

Is it okay to call a lesbian a dyke?

Not unless you’re another dyke.

Then you shouldn't use the word. I feel the same about African Americans using the "N word" and then getting upset when someone with not dark enough complexion uses "their word."

Besides, as an engineer, I'd like say "hand me the dikes" and not get in trouble with the PC police for asking for a pair of diagonal cutters.... which was what the word meant before it was stolen from us.

If your goal is inclusion, then you should not make yourselves out to be a private club with words only you can say.

BTW, I sleep in bed also... that was funny!

Hi Kirk,

I can see your point.

But I would point out that lesbians did not invent the word "dyke" nor did African Americans invent the other word you mentioned. Rather, these were insults used by the majority culture to hurt and humiliate. Calling each other "dykes" is a way of reclaiming the language, and it acts as a show of strength and unity against the people who hoped we would be destroyed by the word.

Of course, in a perfect world there would be no discrimination, so no group would ever feel the need to use "in" words and phrases. In the meantime, if you want to be absolutely safe, better stick to asking for the "pair of diagonal cutters."
