Since our society continues to be primarily a "Christian" culture masses of people continue to believe that god has ordained that women be subordinate to men in the domestic household. Even though masses of women have entered the work forces, even though many families are headed by women who are the sole breadwinners, the vision of domestic life which continues to dominate the nation’s imagination is one in which the logic of male domination is intact, whether men are present in the home or not. The wrong minded vision of feminist movement which implied it was anti-male carried with it the wrong minded assumption that all female space would necessarily be an environment where patriarchy and sexist thinking would be absent. Many women, even those involved in feminist politics, chose to believe this as well.
Although it is recognized that feminist theory has made significant contributions to the developing fields of lesbian, gay, and queer theory, the interrelationships among them are exceedingly complex. Whereas some theorists attempt to separate feminism from lesbian, gay, and queer studies, others do not (Cook, Fonow, 28).
In addition to the pivotal role played by this sex-gender distinction, feminist theory has made a number of other significant contributions to the burgeoning fields of lesbian, gay, and queer studies, including the development of techniques to analyze the erasure of women and other socially marginalized groups from literary canons, the recognition that interlocking systems of oppression shape gendered identities differently, and arguments concerning the political implications of apparently personal issues (Cook, Fonow, 31).
Given feminism's early emphasis on woman-centered issues, it is not surprising that feminist literary theory has had a more extensive engagement with lesbian literature than with gay male writing.
