"I'm Julie Bindel and I want to recruit you!"
And now, something that might amuse ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
auntysarah: Julie Bindel on her sexual liberation.
At 15 then, having only ever had one, non-serious, boyfriend, I came out as a lesbian. Three years later, I moved to Leeds... [and] finally met the R[adical] F[eminist]s. The RFs told me that, to them, lesbianism was a choice that women could make, and not a "condition" we are born with. "All women can be lesbians" was the mantra. I loved the sense that I had chosen my sexuality and rather than being ashamed or apologetic about it, as many women were, I could be proud, and see it as a privilege.
I wonder if Julie is now going to consult her girlfriend about the possibility of legal action against herself for implying that she chose to be a lesbian? Sadly there is no comments feature on the Guardian page in order to ask this important question.
EDIT: Interesting, people could start commenting after midday. I wonder why there was a delay in allowing this to happen?
