'Genuine lesbianism still stands for courage and integrity in the face of pressure to be sexually available to men; to betray this ideal, and use it as a party trick, is a contemptible sellout, indicative of a sexuality that, frankly, the owner couldn't find with both hands.

One day soon there will be a Bateman-style cartoon situation, as a young woman walks through a packed, silent, goggle-eyed Met Bar or Groucho Club: The Attractive Woman Who Doesn't Fiddle About With Other Attractive Women In Public To Get Men's Attention. Now that would be exotic - and that would certainly be feminism.'

Excerpt from Julie Burchill on Men and Lesbianism.
