Hey, You Guys, It Is Now ‘Anti-Feminist’ to Say Feminists Are ‘Not All Lesbians’
28th December 2015
The Other McCain explores the dark nooks and crannies of American culture so that you don’t have to.
Carmen Rios (@carmenriosss) has described how she “became a women’s studies major and a raging lesbian feminist in college.”
This is what happens when you send your daughter to college. An unpleasant surprise.
She is communications coordinator at the Feminist Majority Foundation. She speaks on behalf of the movement, and Carmen Rios is tired of hearing heterosexual women say the wrong thing.
Sounds like a personal problem.
What is mystifying is when Carmen Rios says she has “done a lot of work alongside straight women.” Who are these women? How does feminist heterosexuality happen without reinforcing the “gender binary”? And what about the males who are (allegedly) involved with these (allegedly) heterosexual feminists? Exactly what purpose do these males serve in the lives of feminist women? Because feminism denies that males have any distinct social role or function, it is logically impossible that a feminist would ever actually need a man. Why, then, would a man wish to associate with a woman who considers him useless?
Very good questions.
