📍критика НЕмоногамии лесбийскими феминистками:
The practice for feminists was, she says, based on ‘good ideas’, which were ‘that we didn’t own anybody else, and that we could express ourselves freely’, but it was ‘very much a continuation of the sexual revolution, I’m afraid’. She was non-monogamous for only a few years because it was ‘emotionally very difficult’, probably for everyone involved, but ‘we were all very busy not admitting it’ and ‘being brave’ (Sibyl Grundberg, interview 2013).
Kate chose not to engage in it, saying that ‘activities’ that ‘really hurt other women’ were not ‘justifiable’ because, ‘if morality isn’t about trying not to hurt other people, I don’t know what it is about’. She says that it was ‘all ’60s sexual revolution stuff, wasn’t it? It wasn’t women’s invention, as far as I know. I can’t see what is liberating about adopting the practices of men.’ Such practices ‘came in as part of the uncritical copying of what was going on in all sorts of so-called freedom movements. That particular one, I really believe, operated in the interests of men. They got access to more women than they could possibly hope for, without any caring responsibility’ (‘Kate’, interview 2013).
