Yeah, I can’t tell if s/he just had trouble finding it, or s/he was trying to… build new words??

“They” is a word that exists!

most likely copied from PDF, and the line break is copied properly.

they’re waiting for someone like you to come along and fix it.

Not surprising considering how many human lesbians do the same thing when interested in another.

As a human male I have never felt so strongly that I belong to the opposite sex.

I’m so offended by how absolutely correct you are

That is an absolutely incredible mental image.

The lesbian black widow spiders have entered the chat…

I just can’t find the paper. One Link to Harvard gives 404. Yay for the censorship of lesbian sheep

yeah this is kinda fascinating, would read

Sounds like rams could have a similar problem where they both think they want to kill each other

… but end up having sex?
FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah, but i won’t get into the mechanica of how it all plays out. Ask the scientists for more information
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That’s why my main advice to any woman seeking women is to make a move. Like, girl, you can’t just sit there looking pretty at a gay bar and hope to get a girl, most of the women there are already trying that to no luck.
janus2@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
this is why dating has become orders of magnitude more difficult for me after i quit drinking. my entire strategy was drinking enough to drown out “what if she thinks I’m being creepy, what if she’s mean, what if i say something stupid and get ostracized” until i could finally hear a tiny, slurred voice saying “lol wouldn’t it be funny if you talked to that girl you think is pretty and it turns out she can tolerate your presence” enough to go talk to the girl
but now i am 31 and my cells have decided making enough alcohol dehydrogenase is too much of a hassle and i have decided being hungover is too much of a hassle, so now i just drink soda in the lesbian bar trying to look available but not pathetic (it’s not working)
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Ope, yeah. I’m the same age and currently facing the increasing brutality of hangovers pushing me to be more responsible with my drinking. It hasn’t yet hit the point of not being able to take advantage of the liquid courage to talk to people. Fortunately I do have a sober trick from my crippling anxiety days of psyching myself up to just cross the point where it’s more awkward to stop. It’s weird to think I was stone sober when I tried a stupid line on my now wife lol.
And yeah I think the big trick is to learn to casually chat with anyone and to learn to flirt. The first gets you comfortable and the second lets you figure out if someone is interested. I’ll admit I rarely make moves on someone because she looks available, but because she looks interesting or she’s been interesting in conversation.

This is even better than gay swans

I just think that’s really nice.

I’m a big fan of Doctorov , but I’m this case I would like a citation.
I’m making interested to see how the gender of the ewes was determined. I mean if the indicator of sexual attraction is indistinguishable from normal behavior: standing still how could one prove the sheep to be lesbian?
jj4211@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I suppose he should have said “gay ewes would be hobbled” and lesbian sheep *would be incapable of coupling up".
His quote shows that people say there’s no way of knowing one way or another, like you say, but Doctorow changed the language to be a bit more suggestive of certainty that the phenomenon exists.

Where is the metaphor

The joke probably is that lesbians are shy and often do nothing if they think someone is cute. Just like standing still.
KeenFlame@feddit.nu 2 weeks ago
Ahye I get that totally, but it just says it is a metaphor inside the image so I was confused because I was expecting layers

I may just be a humble penis operator, so excuse the ignorance, but don’t they make toys for this situation? Something the sheep lack?
hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
I’m also just a penis operator, but the joke to me is that neither of them is capable of initiating anything, just waiting for the topper
trublu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
A different interpretation: a “bottom” doesn’t like to play the penetrative role in sex, and so two bottoms become frustrated in a sexual scenario with each other.
CallMeButtLove@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Serious question: is this as big of a deal with lesbians as it would be for gay men?
