Re: wank containment area

All my queer women friends are romantically passive to the point of never ever ever asking each other out while constantly complaining about their crushes/forever aloneness.

Why do they do this? Why are we as a community Like This?

Because women are socialized, in many cultures, not to make the first move, and that's hard to shake even when you're a woman who wants to date women and so it has to be a woman making the first move either way?

Because there's a lot of internalized fear of being "predatory" or of making someone uncomfortable by expressing romantic interest that a lot of us learn at a youngish age and, again, have a hard time shaking even when you know the woman you're interested in is also queer?

Because you're a nerd (you're on a fandom anon meme on DW, after all) and your social circles skew towards other nerds, many of whom are deeply socially awkward people regardless of orientation?

Yeah, and part of it is probably the standard "I want my life to change but I don't want to do anything to make that happen" venting.

Not wanting irl dyke drama or being afraid of retaliation in case the person you're hitting on is actually a straight woman.
