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.
I'm so happy for your perspective, Bev Jo! I'll have to do an update on this with your comments and insight :) Thanks for reading and providing that important info!

Thank you so much and for all the work you are doing for us all!
It's very hard now to find out what is true or not, as well as protecting our massive history.
