I mentioned GS, because she is probably the most mainstream feminist to many people, and we have quite a few "new feminists" who read these groups, and I wanted to use someone they would definitely know.

GS did stand up to Betty Friedan in the early 70's in regards to openness of lesbians in the movement, I stated that her views had evolved.

Excuse my snark, but no, I won;t cite sources for someone who signed up just to respond to my post, especially after the last few days. Sorry.
