Here is a reddit comment about (I suppose) this screenshot of a tumblr exchange https://www.reddit.com/r/SapphoAndHerFriend/comments/rbbjsh/comment/hnouwxp/. The comment links to this https://artlark.org/2022/06/11/renee-vivien-the-misunderstood-lesbian-sonneteer/ and quotes

wrongly assumed that the love poems inspired by Natalie Barney were written by a man to his mistress. The two women actually attended a public “misreading” of Vivien’s poetry incognito, and according to Barney’s account, were forced to stifle their giggles at the lecturer’s mistake.

Skepticism is as essential as empathy on the internet.

I’d go insane, knowing that the professor is wrong like that. In that situation, I’d had to tell the professor afterwards…

I mean that just proves that love is love right? :)
