Androphobes

Some of my lesbian friends tell me that they often have to deal with the assumption that they are man-haters. How hard is to understand that just because a woman is attracted to other women doesn't mean that she hates men? No one assumes that if a woman is heterosexual she must hate other women, right? And similarly, people don't seem to make such assumptions about men, whether gay, straight, bi, or other. Sure, there have been some lesbian separatists who prefer not to socialise with or live near or have any other real connection with men. But most lesbians are not man-haters.
