As a man married 51 years to (and 53 years in love with) the Love of My Life, Nancy, I have long come to believe that the best relationships are long-term lesbian love.
It roils me that women suffer such violence and violation in our society.
I think in lesbian love there is transparent communication, mutual respect, and respect of boundaries. I think in such a relationship, the person can develop her freedom with the best of support.
As a man that loves his wife, I recognize my own limitations.
Hm, I presumed she was bisexual? She and Sartre had an open/polyamorous relationship, and she supposedly sent her female lovers to him sometimes (I'd have to dig up the source for this). As well, Violette Leduc and Simone de Beauvoir also had a romantic friendship, with de Beauvoir romantically rejecting the bisexual Leduc, but going on to mentor Leduc and champion her work.
Bravo and thank you
thanks for reading!

it seems likely that she was! i think what’s interesting is thinking about her writing when it comes to desiring women specifically
