Re: Lesbian Separatists
(Anonymous) 2015-04-06 01:42 am (UTC)(link)when I said overtly male, I was referring to the fact that I don't know their gender. not their personality, but their actual identity.
but to your question: 'Acceptable' is a tricky term. many men are acceptable, if I walk down the street I have to accept their presence, and some don't force themselves into my life or my space or anything like that. this is very acceptable. When I go to into stores, or call tech support or anything like that I can accept that there will possibly be men.
but I think you might mean 'pleasant' men rather than acceptable? men I miss, or men I would choose to allow into my life? I'm sure they can exist in theory, it's a big world after all, but my experience for a long part of my life is that no, the benefits of closing my life to men as a whole far outweigh the possibility of meeting a man I won't regret getting to know.
as for family I have two sisters, no brothers, and no father. one brother-in-law, but everyone knows how I feel about men so it rarely becomes an issue.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-06 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)to answer your question the practical difference from what I have heard - and at this point I should point out that I haven't had the opportunity or the inclination to talk to MGTOW (for obvious reasons). I know lots of people judge us based just on what they hear about us, so I do acknowledge the slight possibility that this info may be incorrect - but the difference is largely in how we go about it.
We - at least people who share my approach I don't claim to speak for every lesbian separatist but my experience makes me believe I am a pretty typical moderate - take the view that dealing with men is too much trouble and quite often dangerous so screw that noise I'm keeping them out of my life.
MGtOW tend to take the approach that dealing with women is too much trouble and hurts their feelings / makes them uncomfortable / whatever, so screw that noise - which is their own prerogative not much judgement here - but then go on endless tirades to keep women in their life by making their entire lives about promoting how horrible women are. It's not a 'men are great' group, it's a 'women suck' group.
Yes, I think for the most part men have shown that they suck, but that is not the centre point for my whole life. This realisation was the point on which my life turned, where as MGtoW have made it the point on which their lives revolve, if that makes any sense?
