Lesbian sadomasochism

Por sugestão do Paulo, li um artigo interessante na New Yorker sobre um grupo de lésbicas separatistas na década de 70. Segue um trecho:

"During yet another fight among the Van Dykes over who was sleeping with whom, Heather recalls, Judith left in a huff and caught a ride to San Francisco. There she met the sex radicals Pat Califia and Gayle Rubin, who had started a lesbian sadomasochist group that they called Samois, for the house of torture in The story of O. "She hooked up with those women and when she came back she said, 'You're going to love this'," Van Dyke remembers. Judith was not mistaken: tofu quickly gave way to leather in the vans. The Van Dykes loved the drama of sadomasochism, the way it gave them license to play power games - which, really, they have been engaged in all along."
