1) Gay conversion therapy is still a thing. Currently it mostly flies under trans colors. Political Lesbianism was a trend among some feminists who couldn't find any other way out of the morass that is patriarchy. It probably began as a tribute. As others have explained, lesbian is something that happens in the woman lane. Just like MSM, gay, biman all happen in the guy lane. JB's claim never left her lane. As a woman, it was a perfectly feasible claim. The fact that it's a lie is beside the point. 2) Crap dude, were the female mathematicians saying this?
3) Sounds like you're just here to give the women a scolding for daring to question the values reflected in common usage. Your analogy falls flat because feminist language analysis, never had anything to do with hurt feelings and everything to do with the enforcement of the male hierarchy through language and the possibility of female liberation through language. You cannot give me one example of feminist language usage that is analogous to the fabrication and policing of language that are happening today. 4) Radical feminism is leftist. Just because females have common interests across the political spectrum (due to being in the same *sex-class** in the sex-hierarchy*), doesn't mean we support imprisoning children, gay conversion therapy or bombing foreign civilians.
