There is a kind of conservative who imagines that feminism is essentially 1970s lesbian separatism despite the fact that this essentially ended decades ago and the radical feminists, lesbian or not, are primary targets of the current dominant feminism - intersectionality.

I'll just give one example but there are many like her: Roxane Gay has been given massive media exposure in the USA, regularly featured in the most prominent liberal papers such as NYT. She is an overt misandrist, lesbian intersectional "fat feminist" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_feminism …

I know her bio and her work and her history. I'm sure others may get something out of that. Your assertion that it is a conservative fallacy academic feminism is dominated to this day by lesbians is unsubstantiated. We'll find the data on who is leading the conferences and post.

Then you know she's not a lesbian. Please do find it. I'd be very interested to see figures. I think I know who most of the leading feminist scholars are.

2 white male lovers does not a "straight" woman make. Neural imaging studies most women are aroused by non-preferred sex (most bisexual) so most of these groupings are basic sexual ID pol. Her preferred sexual partners have been MOSTLY women and she admits to being a misandrist.

No, it makes a bisexual. I'm certainly not denying that leading feminist academics are misandrist. I'm saying that political lesbianism is dead.

It does not make here a bisexual unless she identifies as a bisexual. Depending again on how you measure these things. Either way if you admit leading academic feminists are misandrist that is more damning than a conservative narrative that they are merely lesbian separatists.

No, I'm not going on self-identification here. A bisexual is someone who attracted to both sexes. Also, she does identify as bisexual. Well, yes. I have spent considerable time arguing about the misandry problem. It doesn't help to conflate this with lesbianism.

It confuses the issue and makes it easier to dismiss if feminists are being 'accused' of being lesbians which is morally neutral when what they are is misandrists which is a form of bigotry. It just looks homophobic and bigoted rather than addressing bigotry which actually exists
