when i was younger i kinda found it embarrassing that i liked older women and i felt kinda defensive about it but now that i’m slightly less young i think it’s actually a part of my Gayness that i think i should appreciate? like, you look at straight men and to them women might as well be fucken dead after 30 or 35. but to lesbians women don’t have an expiration date. the qualities of age that repulse straight men as a sign of women’s experience and maturity are attractive to lesbians because we value women’s experiences.
