Feminism is not a dirty word.

Nov 10, 2009 08:22

Gloria Steinhem said that “any woman who chooses to behave as a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That’s their natural and first weapon.”

Wise up. Rise up.

its also said that any feminist woman who is not a lesbian is a masochist. ;)

Sometimes I think that would be easier. I often entertain the idea of women-only communities and communes....not because I'm a lesbian, but it would just be a safe place surrounded by great people. And there needs to be more of that.
Oh wait, I'm getting married, aren't I.....:)

all girl communities would probably be the most dramatic living environment ever. not to mention if you add lesbians to tje mix. everyone is going to argue. fight. be offended. sounds like fun

How is that any different than now?
All-women-all-the-time would only draw a certain crowd. Some lesbians (in my limited opinion as a straight) wouldn't want to be in that type of environment. There are women-only communities all over the country, so there are some women that do.
If one is a certain type of lesbian or straight and doesn't want to deal with men in the real world, they can create their own world, which I think is pretty f-in cool.
