[edit] May 5, 2006.
May 5, 2006. Slightly offensive, I quote "A large portion of lesbians are feminists, but only a smaller fraction of those lesbians who are feminists could be classified as lesbian feminists."
This is actually borderline homophobic, certainly inaccurate. It also fails to distinguish between lesbian feminism as a cultural movement and lesbian feminism as a critical perspective. Which is important (e.g. separatism was certainly not advocated by all lesbian feminists - did not define the whole movement, although certainly it was important). No reference to other schools of thought/contemporary lesbian gay movement. No sourcing. Out of all proportion to attention given to queer theory etc.,

At end of "Tensions with Feminism" section: "Nevertheless, it is worth surmising that since lesbian feminism was often confined to feminist disciplines, and arguably, seemed quite happy with this arrangement." This isn't a sentence. I was going to edit but I'm not sure what it's supposed to say - e.g. since a particular date? when? If anyone knows... thanks! Rhoganjosh 17:35, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
