Primarily abortion and the pooh-poohing of traditional values...honesty, integrity, nuclear families and such.
Honesty and integrity are not pooh-poohed by anyone, but I now understand better where you're coming from. I think you're wrong to label a non-traditional approach to sexuality "militant dyke values" (I am certainly not a dyke -- wrong gender for it). It has become the mainstream among heterosexuals as well, although obviously an acceptance of homosexuality is part of that. In fact, I would say that what you are calling "militant dyke values," and which should better and more accurately be called a sexual morality based on mutual respect rather than on authority and ownership, arises from the rebirth of the Goddess in our hearts. It is an inherently feminist ethic in that it requires recognizing gender equality and not treating a woman as the possession of a man.
How odd you have all these lesbian friends but don't know what a militant dyke is. My lesbian friends could certainly fill you in....
Oh, I know what most people would call a militant dyke. It was just unclear what you meant by the term, since you were using it to describe people who obviously aren't dykes, militant or otherwise. You have now clarified that, and I thank you.
I didn't use the term initially to describe anyone. I simply said unless you were a militant dyke or a liberal black, you have no value (specifically within the progressive movement).
That's what happens when you have a whole political group who determine value based upon sexuality and color.
