If lesbians didn't exist, men would have to invent them

It's been a busy week for fake lesbians. Hot on the kitten heels of the Gay Girl in Damascus who turned out to be not nearly as gay, as much of a girl or as near damascus as advertised (Tom MacMaster, married man in Edinburgh), comes Paula Brooks (Bill Graber) executive editor of LezGetReal.com.

Personally, I think these are lovely stories. After all, it puts to rest the notion that you have to be a member of a community to understand or comment on issues that affect them - because presumably if someone can, over a period of years, convince people that they are a lesbian, then they must have a reasonable understanding of things.

Or do they? This notion presupposes that any of The Blogging Lesbians (which would be a brilliant name for a band, now I think about it) are actually real.

Maybe there are no lesbians blogging? Maybe they're too busy putting up shelves and moving in with each other (*irony alert* of course this is just another boring stereotype. Everyone knows lesbians actually spent literally all their time showering).

This would mean that the internet is full of men posing as lesbians flirting with other men posing as lesbians whilst, in the final irony of all, the actual, real women in their lives wait for them to get off the damn computer already and come back to bed.

Sometimes, just sometimes, I feel like I've been given a tiny glimpse into God's plan.
