IIRC, they want to go and live in lesbian-only communities. No contact with teh smelly menz. Or something.

I don't get what's so radical and political about it. People have been shutting themselves off in weird only-people-like-me communes since forever.

I think it's a radical act. Not necessarily saying it's a bad act, I don't care if that's what some people want to do, but any specific instance of saying "I'm going to go live in a cloistered community" will be radical unless it becomes commonplace. It's a very big and unusual life decision.

By what definition of radical? Depending on the type of community, it's downright reactionary. Take religious monks and nuns--they're carrying out an act that may have hundreds, if not thousands, of years of historied tradition and societal support behind it.

Something being unusual or uncommon doesn't make it radical.

"Radical" isn't mutually exclusive with "reactionary". It just refers to a drastic change. You're right, I didn't think of monks and nuns (though not all of them are really cloistered) and that's a tradition that's been going on for a long time. But if you just up and say "I'm going to start a new community and only lesbians are invited", that's not a trend with any real precedent, and it's a pretty drastic change from a typical lifestyle (in any society where your average person can afford to make a choice like that).

Try googling "political lesbian" and you'll see what's so political about it. Lesbian separatists are often also anti-trans people, aka TERF, and unfortunately concentrate more on "who is an acceptable womyn" "who is an acceptable lesbian" that it makes the worst SJW online wank look like kids arguing in a sandpit.

/a lesbian who is most definitely not a separatist, especially after sharing a flat with two political lesbians

I'll take your word for it. I've already accepted that political lesbians are just one of those things that I will never, ever understand.
