Keep up the post and the comments. There is value in the breakdown of this article in these comments. There is both good and bad in there. I do have the same concern about radicals feminism. In general, lesbians are almost never represented by actual lesbians.

But potentially giving Stock the benefit of the doubt where she says that it’s not about who you are attracted to right now, which in general I disagree with, it’s depending on what she is calling “attraction” and to what that person is “attracted” to.

Thanks for the suggestion. That's true, deleting it would hide all these thoughtful comments!

That's true, I was hopeful that there might have been some ambiguity there because she is allowing for cases where, say, someone might be persuaded to have sex with someone while drunk and become sexually aroused just because of physical manipulation-- I suppose you could call that "attraction" too. Guess we'll see in the long run!
