If the child had been male they would have been "ordered" to have leave him behind. Second wave feminism loved its hierarchies of who was real, who was more victimised, who was the real lesbian. It was a caste system invented by the rule makers to ensure they remained top dog bitch to enforce a "natural" order.

It's where the slur about "black gay diabled whales" originated. You'd read Spare Rib and the writer would slip in what their position in the hierarchy was to ensure everyone knew where they stood in relation.

Of course, women aren't competitive or bullying at all. How could it even be suggested ?

Possibly power is made more alluring by having been on the receiving end of domination...

What was interesting was watching people create pecking orders whilst angrily denying they were doing any such thing. Everybody involved really beieved fervently that they had flat structures where all voices were equal when it was blatantly a hierarchy of assumed privilege. Such a joke.

I do not understand what this slur is about at all. If anyone could explain it to me I would be grateful.
