So I was excited to check out the new zine based on your article. I know the material is not all up yet, but I was dismayed upon reading "How I Got Bored With Feminism" by Terry Castle. This quote here where she explains why it's been better to be a lesbian:
"I didn't have to hold down a miserable poorly-paid job while also caring for children. I'd never had some slob beating me up or threatening me with a knife" is the kind of smug attack on other women in the name of self-expression that just kills me. Is she trying to be weirdly sympathetic, or funny? I just don't know. As someone on the business end of both these problems, it's left a bad taste in my mouth.
