I don't know if the following agrees with this (and is anecdotal) but... 
Some (what % I can't hazard a guess) of the lesbians my wife has met 
through feminist activites are "politically" lesbian. ie they made the 
decision to be lesbian based on disatisfaction with men and patriarchial 
society rather than a specific attraction to women. Most do however,
love their significant others.
