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.,

Permission to fully rework! lookatyougo

You do not need to seek permission. As long as you upheld Wikipedia:Neutral point of view policy, you can go for your life. Dysprosia 04:45, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

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)
