She's presented the topics of Lesbian S&M, feminism and "political correctness" quite a few times. I find her writings quite refreshing because she states her positions unbowed by the neo-puritanical ravings of some members of the gay orthodoxy, and she comes across as an open-minded proponent of an individual's right to make free choices, regardless of the "political" climate. -- /Steve Dyer decvax!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca
