“Radical/lesbian feminist approaches to gender could not be more different [than queer theorists]. Rather than seeing the political task as the creation of more and equal opportunities to act out masculinity and femininity in various varieties, radical/lesbian feminists seek to abolish what has been called ‘gender’, altogether. I am no fan of the word ‘gender’, and would prefer to abolish it in favour of expressions which refer directly to the political foundation of male domination. Thus I prefer to describe masculinity as ‘male-dominant behaviour’ and femininity as ‘female-subordinate behaviour’. No multiplicity of genders can emerge from this perspective.”
