let's discuss the "player" masc lesbian stereotype

this week we're talking the "player" masc lesbian stereotype in media and real life. where did it come from? what are the repercussions? how can we beat the allegations?!

ultimately, this leads into a discussion about toxic masculinity in the lesbian community and why it's harmful.

i use examples like shane from the L word and Alex Vause in orange is the new black. hopefully one day we can get more positive masc characters in media. damn!
