This is what happens when u want to write woke takes but fall flat on your face. You clearly seem to have read one or max 2 articles on Political Lesbianism for you have just produced it as & not thought abt it at all. Political Lesbianism (PL) did receive major flakes in 80s+ https://twitter.com/SanaKhair1/status/1305041079981338625
But it has been severely (also deliberately just like u) misinterpreted to suit the patriarchal narrative. PL states that Lesbianism must not only be a social identity but should also become a political identity, as sexuality is a choice and therefore it must be asserted. +
If one was fighting systemic+ structural oppression, not extending the identity into political spaces wud make it reductant and yield no change, by change we mean liberation and emancipation of women. PL is abt rejecting heterosexuality as the only form of sexuality and +
not rejecting men and definitely not necessarily about having sex with women. PL was an extreme idea and not a representative of radical feminism.

Your take on Domestic Violence (DV) is severely problematic but also pointedly shifts the onus on women and localized +
the problem in women. Are u saying that women face DV because they do/did not meet the men’s expectation or u saying they deserve DV for every action meets a reaction?
Mother Theresa faced criticism for anti-abortion stance, but how’s is that related? One can be a humanitarian+
but that doesn’t guarantee perfectionism. Lastly, read Indian feminist literature, Fatima Sheikh, Savitribai Phule, Tarabai Shinde, Ramabai, and many more. I have a question, would you have accepted if the patriarchs in the family would have decided against your education?
Ms. Khair, that you are conflating sexuality with "FEMINISM" is telling enough that your understanding of feminism is zilch. I am sorry that even Jamia couldn't do much to change your archaic mindset.
