Nora's presentation on radical feminism last night was the bomb. I had to blog this quote from "The Woman-Identified Woman" by Radicalesbians because I think it perfectly describes this recent phenomenon of women fearing the label of "feminist" like the plague in order to avoid also being labeled as a lesbian. Homophobia has become just another tool that the patriarchy uses to keep women in their place.

"Lesbian is the word, the label, the condition that holds women in line. When a woman hears this word tossed her way, she knows she is stepping out of line...For in this sexist society, for a woman to be independent means she can't be a woman-- she must be a dyke."
