This is part of the re-writing of our history that I worry about. Many of us Lesbian Feminists never stopped saying our differences with males was biological. Only those who were thinking about this issue on a superficial level argued that male hatred of females were from "socialization" or that females were really no different from males. But unfortunately that has become the story of our Lesbian Feminist history. And that's partly because liberal to right wing fake feminism has more power, money, and therefore media access.

The Lesbian Separatists as well as others I knew in the Seventies never thought of the Lesbian Tide as a "radical feminist magazine." It was liberal at best. There were much better Radical Feminist magazines in the Seventies and later as well.
