  • (In)Quest of Liberal Feminism

  • Loretta Kensinger
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    25 March 2020, pp. 178-197

  • I am interested in exploring the usefulness and limits of traditional categories of feminist theory, such as those laid out by Alison Jaggar (1977; 1983). I begin the analysis by critically comparing various treatments of liberal feminism. I focus throughout this investigation on uncovering ways that current frameworks privilege white authors and concerns, recreate the split between theory and activism, and obscure long histories of theoretical and practical coalition and alliance work.

  • In Praise of Unreliability

  • Lisa Heldke
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    25 March 2020, pp. 174-182

  • Bisexuality challenges familiar assumptions about love, family, and sexual desire that are shared by both heterosexual and homosexual communities. In particular, it challenges the assumption that a person's desire can and should run in only one direction. Furthermore, bisexuality questions the legitimacy, rigidity, and presumed ontological priority of the categories “heterosexual” and “homosexual.” Bisexuals are often assumed to be dishonest and unreliable. I suggest that dishonesty and unreliability can be resources for undermining normative sexualities.

  • Warning! Contents Under Heterosexual Pressure

  • Peg O'Connor
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    25 March 2020, pp. 183-188

  • This essay examines some stereotypes of bisexuals held by some lesbians. I argue that the decision that a lesbian makes not to become involved with a bisexual woman because she is bisexual can recenter men in lesbian desire, a consequence many lesbians would find deeply problematic. The acceptance of these stereotypes also results in sex becoming the defining characteristic of one's sexual orientation, thus privileging sex over any emotional, affectional, and political commitments to women.

  • Swear by the Moon

  • Corrinne Bedecarré
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    25 March 2020, pp. 189-197

  • In this article I discuss the argument/criticismi'concerns of bisexuality that arise from within progressive communities which already accept gay and lesbian rights. Issues discussed include trust, heterosexuality and the body, the power dynamics of patriarchal oppression and subjective verification. The moon is evoked as a material metaphor for phases and changes. 1 argue that conditions of the world preclude political attachment to an excessively fixed standard of many things, including sexual orientation.
