Feminists

Could you give me a few examples of issues where straight women would want something that gay women don't, or where gay women want something that straight women don't? I thought about it a lot after I read yr post, and I can't think of a single thing, but my head is all clogged up with a nasty head cold right now and my thought process is: 'self-identity, I get it *cough* *sniff* *sneeze* *cough some more*. Now what was I thinking before I dived for the lozenges and tissues?'

I'm with another person in this thread who said they don't see why there needs to be sides taken. We're all feminists, and of course we're all going to self-identify in different ways that takes us across a whole lot of different groups, but the bottom line is that we should be supporting each other, especially when it comes to women who've suffered discrimination, imo...

This thread is a bit heated and I don't want to be mistaken for being confrontational or anything like that, especially as I've got a lot of respect for what I've seen you post at DU2 about I/P and speaking out against anti-Muslim bigotry. So when I say that my life experience as a woman and how I self-identify have the word 'privilege' nowhere to be found, that's not meant as an attack or to be hostile. If you want to reply by PM so as it's taken away from what has become a heated thread, yr someone who'd be more than welcome to pop up in my inbox
