Lesbian humour on the YouTube

As I mentioned before, I spent the first months out of my own closet in the Ukraine, where my only access to anything remotely homosexual was the net.

This is probably the reason why I'm now doing this blog. It's the kind of thing I would have loved to have, to group together lesbian popular culture instead of having to research it myself and painfully find the good stuff amidst the tons of rubbish out there.

So this is a post about some interesting home-made videos I found on the YouTube.
Some of them are informative, others just funny ☺
 

I have my own personal ideas about videos on the YouTube. Too often they are just poorly made. No script, horrible sound, just a bunch of chicks (obviously given the topic, but actually not only) that babble in front of the computer.
Annoying.
Some videos, however, are just as I like them. Not too long, for starters. Broken down into points or little chapters, so that they just make sense, in a way. And with hot chicks. Well, ok, what they say is more important, but, let’s see the first one:

 Ten reasons to be lesbian

This girl is reeeeeeally cute. Apart from that, she also says some interesting things. A couple of her ‘reasons’ are not so obvious. They are:

1. Girls look good
2. They fuck much better
3. You don’t need that much make up
4. Straight girls like to play
5. You don’t need to dress that well
6. Girls understand each other
7. You don’t need to be fake (meaning: you don’t put yourself in competition with other girls)
8. You don’t need to watch TV anymore, because you already have enough drama in your life
9. The environment is small
10.  You don’t have to think about sleazy disgusting guys that stare are you (they don’t look at you anymore because they can see that you’re a lesbian)

It’s not like I totally agree, but it’s a nice video. Reasons 1, 2, 6, 7 are in my opinion very true. Reasons 3, 5, 10 are not so true in every case. I mean, the point of view of this girl is that of a ‘butch’ (for want of a better word) lesbian and these reasons don’t really apply to ‘femme’ lesbians. Point 4, 8 and 9 are just plainly amusing. I don’t know if I have to wish them to be right or wrong.

The same girl made another video to clarify the points about appearance. The video in itself doesn’t add much, but the final remark is bloody hilarious.
"Be real. And if you’re a lesbian, be a fucking lesbian! Ok?"
LOL 

Then we have this other girl, listing a lot of stereotypes connected with being a lesbian:

Let me to a little checklist:

Rainbows everywhere, especially tattoos  ✘  I don’t have tattoos and I quite dislike rainbows anyway
Short hair  ✔ 
They all want to be boys  ✘
G.I.Joe  ✘  but I used to watch ‘Fist of the Northern Star’ and ‘Tigerman’ does it count?
Tomboy  ✘  well, I was a bit of a tomboy when I was, like, two ☺ 
Secretly trying to convert people  ✘
Polos  ✔  I don’t think I own polos right now, but I don’t mind them
Sport bras  ✔  
Softball  ✔  and cricket, but I don’t play them anymore
Knives  ✘
Motorcycles and bars  ✘
Muscles  ✔
They don’t shave  ✘
Only have gay friends  ✘
They all watch L-word  ✔
STDs and sleeping around  ✘
Flannel  ✘
They hate guys  ✘
Low voices  ✘  
They work in construction and drive trucks  ✘
Men boxers  ✘
Ani di Franco, Teagan and Sarah  ✘  never heard of them in my entire life
They all identify with either butch or femme  ✘
Vegetarian  ✘ (I've been a vegetarian for two years, but I'm not anymore)
Birkenstocks  ✔ as with polos, I don’t own a pair right now, but I used to

Only 7 out of 25. Uhm...

Now, let’s talk about the different types of lesbian:
