Political lesbianism is a practice of intentionally choosing a lesbian identity for feminist political reasons. Political lesbians reject sexual and romantic relationships with men and choose to develop relationships with women instead. They may or may not be sexually attracted to women, and they may or may not engage in sex with women. They may believe that sexual orientation can be freely chosen, or that "lesbianism" doesn't require homosexuality, only not having sex with men and orienting one's life around women. The concept of political lesbianism originated in the 1970s and '80s. It is controversial; many lesbians find the term offensive because they regard their sexual attraction to women as innate rather than chosen and define their lesbianism based on that attraction, regardless of politics.
Feminist scholar Sheila Jeffreys advocated political lesbianism as a way for feminists to center their lives around other women.

Get the Political lesbianism mug.The left-wing's intentions to be disrespectful to Americans by trying to censor media, video games, books, and other things to suit their needs rather than the people. Also, they tried to pin it on the Republican and Conservative side because of their rivalry between the two parties.

Get the political disrespect mug.Political theatre is an illusion of choice presented by the political elite to the voter, that their vote has an impact on the future of the nation. It in fact does not, you are simply an observer while Republicans and Democrats are two sides of the same coin, America is technically a one party corporatist state.
Person 1: Why has nothing changed in America, why do we still suffer even though we vote for people who are supposed to represent us
Person 2: Political Theatre my friend, it's all a facade.

Get the Political Theatre mug.Politically radioactive people create irreparable damage and loss of credibility through simple association. Usually because they have no credibility and make crazy statements that lack basic truth.

Get the politically radioactive mug.A seduction into power. A candidate promises all kinds of bullshit to increase their appeal and convince the blissfully ignorant to vote for them. Once in power they have everything they need and therefore don't have to give a damn about the masses anymore. as well as this all the bullshit they promised beforehand is revealed to be: bullshit, much to the dismay of voters. Strangely the majority doesn't seem to catch on about this, and this method has been utilised to the same effect ever since.
Political elections are bullshit. Next time you see the successor to the throne preaching about how much better your lives are going to be once they're in the power palace, get out there and hunt these traitors down, hang them for deceiving the public and take back the money they were taking off you to fund the austerity brigade, arms dealers, media circus, conformity agents and the domination state.
