Someone earlier has pointed out that man can only be supporters, while women are feminists. I'll give them their point, but still demur, and stick to my label. :-) Anyway, I was at Lamda Rising, and saw this quote on back of the original LAVENDER JANE LOVES WOMEN album. I wish I could remember the source to attribute it to, but... Feminism is the theory Lesbianism is the practice. -- ---- \ / JOEL BURTON cs331124@umbc5.umbc.edu {my friend Carol's acct, not mine} \/ "We're Here, We're Queer, We're Fabulous--Get used to it!" - Queer Nation
