It fits into all the Norman O. Brown theories of polymorphous perversity being the true and proper and right form of sex. What I don't like is people with very strong beliefs that cause them not to look. I'm a political feminist. I think women's lives need quite a lot of improving, some of which has now happened. I'm interested in feminist themes, women's freedom.
Literary feminism is a much more dubious thing.
I meet a lot of people who have spent so much of their time being educated by women about women's writing. They don't notice perfectly obvious things because they've not looked at anything else that might have contributed to this woman's life or writing other than women. In England, not in America or France, there's been a kind of myth constructed that women writers were always persecuted, despised and put down. We do have that theory here. Yes, but possibly here it may have been true, you see.
