Weird, thumb out is 3 in ASL (a french sign derived language), but thumb in that position reads as a really weird 2 to me

I think you’ve really got the right idea there. Even my pc which is in an old crappy case isn’t something I want to hide. A desk that keeps it out of the way, easily accessible, and accentuates its presence is much better than one that assumes I’m ashamed to have a computer. That said plenty of drawer space for other stuff is great.

I fucking love kanban. No I will not assume you need something, flip the card and I’ll do it for you

There are a lot of things she does but that aint one of them

Oh that explains why my wife is gay

Wait I thought the brits were the cousin fuckers

Once I’d already rejected my assigned gender I had an intellectual freedom few around me did. I was helped by having psychonaut friends who were also headed hard progressive labor-left but when everything could be questioned and the cruelty inherent to enforcement of the system was clearly visible it wasn’t hard to notice that infinite growth didn’t sound realistic

My wife loves me despite my Dvorak. However in the pursuit of a happy marriage I’ve been forced to concede allowing qwerty on my desktop as a side option

To answer your question:

• When it comes to initiating, somewhat. A lot of queer women, would much rather stand around giving hints than making moves, especially ones who primarily have experience with men (and I’ve noticed a tendency for bi women to especially expect lesbians to play all of the masculine roles).

• Date planning is a toss up, but ime it’s usually a lot more casual.

• We typically both show up at the location or meet at the driver’s home, and honestly I assumed that straight people did the same.

• You show up prepared to pay for both of you, usually you pay for yourself, and sometimes one will offer to pay for the other, usually with a response of “you really don’t have to, I’ll get the next one.” (That one’s also one where women who mostly date men sometimes assume you’re taking the masculine role).

• Driving really depends on how you got there. And who’s place you go back to is often reliant on a variety of factors, like when I met my wife we went to her place despite her having roommates because she was in the city and my apartment was like an hour out of town.

• Once again, had no idea that was an expectation anymore, sounds like some 50s bs

• I don’t think my wife or I could physically do that, and if we stayed out too late or one of us got too drunk to get indoors without being carried there’d be an uncomfortable conversation in the morning. Also a lot of the bi women I’ve dated have been of a size that their husbands couldn’t do that.

• Undressing is a frantic, seductive, and silly display early on and slowly moves to a causal affair as the relationship matures.

• Idk, you usually strap yourself up if you’re going that route. You bring and prepare your own equipment.

• Sex is considered mutual or you’re considered a bad lay unless you were upfront about being stone (only wants to give not to receive) or a pillow princess (only wants to receive not to give) beforehand.

Ultimately I think the difference comes down to expectations. In sapphic relationships the expectation is communication and mutuality. Straight relationships have existing roles and it’s very easy to not see what you’re not doing or to think of it as only fair or even worse as adversarial. I’ve long been an advocate to women who date men to take on some of these masculine expectations at the beginning to create a foundation of equality and to weed out men who are uncomfortable with it. Hell, a lot of these expectations you listed are elements of agency and while yes it would be nice to have a no effort on my part but showing up and looking pretty date, it wouldn’t be a good foundation for a relationship.

I will note that I don’t do butch-femme which is more likely to follow traditional gender roles, and I mostly date neurodivergent women who tend to be more insistent on clear communication regardless of orientation.
