I was reading an article today in the New Yorker about the "lesbian" separatist movement in the 70s. Ariel Levy says (emphasis mine):

The feminist Ti-Grace Atkinson went so far as to claim that her brand of celibate "political lesbianism" was morally superior to the sexually active version practiced in her midst. Atkinson was not alone in this martyred line of reasoning; a 1975 essay by the separatist Barbara Lipschutz entitled "Nobody Needs to get Fucked" urges women to "free the libido from the tyranny of orgasm-seeking. Sometimes hugging is nicer." This argument was never particularly compelling to the lesbians in the movement who were actually gay.

Hilary Clinton is on my TV, wearing a largish gold pendant. Inigo is trying to play with it.
