Women in Scotland are sex mates to be chatted up, family to be
patronisec, or servants to be used and ignored.
Ms Chris Campbell [said of comparing her to the male homosexual]
the female homosexual neede far more. "Her non-acceptance is
deeply rooted in society's belief that, whatever surface concessions
are made, women exist for their sexual and domestic usefulness
to men. Gay women cannot be free to live as they wish until
society's attitudes are changed." ...
