Ugh. For those who deny how f-ed up it is that PeTA marginilizes people on the basis of race, try this. I am not a person of color - I am half-"white," half-Taiwanese, and grew up in more or less mainstream white culture. I have not much been marginilized on the basis of race. I don't identify with PeTA's naked women. I don't identify as "lesbian," despite what people would like to call me. But I really take this personally. I feel I am strongly being objectified now, marginilized again.
Thanks, PeTA. Thanks for fortifying the idea that my love needs a man.
By the way, I doubt that women who ARE attracted to women would lie there smiling about how much they need a guy peeking over their shoulders. I have read way, way, WAY too many stories of women feeling disinterested in men and getting into threesomes in order to realize their true feelings toward women, NOT the other way around.
