I guess feminism can emerge and be expressed in both radical and conservative ways. I have read a radical view of feminism that argues that we live in a society in which all its institutions foster gender inequality. The union of men and women is one of those institutions that fosters gender inequality. Therefore,   radical feminists, even though they may be attracted to men, must choose lesbianism as a form of resistance to this gender inequality. Can anyone comment on this?
