Reading about Lesbian Separatism. The thesis is basically that men "just need to go." Okay, beyond the familial and cultural ties one would have to leave behind, beyond the general whiteness of queer communities one would have to enter, beyond that hetero- and bi-sexual women are kind of screwed (or not so much, I guess) as well as women who want to be friends with men, beyond that it doesn't go "beyond" the ninary at all for something from the 80's, it doesn't really explain where the men go. Are they killed, are they on another planet, are they underground, what? And does no one miss them at all? And what about gay men? Are they also bad? And what happens when separatists get separated, does one have to go back to the mainstream?


Alright, I have to go grill some chicken before Stef gets home and I have to pretend it's tofu. We got all this furniture that was going to be thrown out and matt put sheets on it and it looks so cool. We're such grown-ups. I, like, even pay bills and stuff. And I make awesome cookies with my easybake oven.
