Because each case of sexual dominance is different, the reactions will range. Sometimes the reactions are so radical as to lead to completely different lifestyles. Although some women do fall through the cracks, the vast majority find a way to cope. One of the reactions littered throughout our research is lesbianism, as shown in Churchill's Cloud 9 and Mason's Double Vision . This lesbianism is a rejection of men as necessary sexual objects and caregivers.
Women turn to one another for the love and support traditionally provided by men.
The use of role reversals is also a reaction to male sexual domination. Aphra Behn uses transvestites, specifically women dressed as men, as a method of granting women power. The Mod Donna and Scyklon Z by Myrna Lamb goes radically in the opposite direction as a man acts as a host for a fertilized embryo. He is made to assume the female role of child bearer, thereby blurring the lines between man and woman. This lends itself to the equality and autonomy that so many women strive to achieve.
