asexies claiming spinsters for themselves makes me so mad bc a lot of the spinsters were either gay or having more sex than society was comfortably with outside of marriage
they love rewriting history to center it on themselves. asexuality hasn't even rly been a thing until recently but somehow there were supposedly huge movements centuries back? lol ok if that's true why does nobody know this term? someone would have come up w/ something long before now if these huge movements were happening
but asexuality is also a great tool to take away the sexuality of gay ppl tbh
they want to pretend they have a secret underground movement throughout periods of oppression because lgbt history is a fucking role playing game to them
i forgot they like to pretend only asexuals deal with misogyny. all the sexysexual women love misogyny and sexual harassment bc we just cannot get enough of that dick that it consumes our very being
also it's hilarious they always latch themselves onto trans ppl or bi ppl to look legit but it doesn't even make sense
it's basically like a little sibling tagging along to look cool and hope nobody notices their older sibling is 10x more together than they are
i thought the original thing they got the idea from was interesting, but it seems like they completely missed that 1) it's very specifically about unmarried women in norway from 1870 to 1940, and 2) "spinster culture" is this one person's term she coined to describe the group she was doing research on, there wasn't a "spinster movement" celebrating spinsters
