. . . And Lust For All!

It would appear that the discussion on sexuality within the women’s movement has made way for other themes. If you use the feminist press as a thermometer for determining currently ‘hot issues’, then you will find it presents a totally different picture from a few years ago. The bad girls and the sad girls of 1982 are now all installed behind computers in sisterly fashion, and feminists today appear more involved in the pleasures and dangers of career strategies than in those of sexuality. General questions such as ‘what aspects should a feminist strategy on sexuality comprise?’ are no longer talking points. The struggle against sexual violence - one of the answers to that last question — has now joined the ranks of policy and research. Questions on what feminine sexuality is and should be are yesterday’s news. Not long ago, the first ever ‘darkroom’ for women was opened at a well-known (women’s) disco. However, rumour has it that this room’s main use is not anonymous sex, but provides a place for intimate chats between bosom friends.
