[WLW: "woman love woman" a term used to describe relationships between two women]
★ written by mhairicute on TikTok★
We normally look at lesbian and bisexual characters through a lens of sexualisation; Women who like women have sex with them for male attention and dont have any genuine love or connection.
Theatre humanises people- that's the problem. When you're so intimately exposed to someone's genuine emotions (that aren't expressed in a dramatic or melodramatic way), you can't invalidate those feelings anymore; You can't just make a lesbian character onstage an object if sexual male attention because she's not- she has genuine love, genuine feelings and genuine attraction to another woman which is female centric and it's pretty to the male gaze at all.
So, when you can't sexualise a woman she is no longer useful to this male agenda, which is why male composers dont want to write them and male audiences don't want to watch- cause they don't care about us at all. It's pretty disgusting actually.
(Unless they can sexualise us- then they care)
