As Village Voice Columnist Jill Johnston put it in a rare terse statement, "Feminism at heart is a massive complaint. Lesbianism is the solution...
...monthly meeting of California's Pick and Hammer Club expected an evening of socializing and routine gossip about faults, core samples and volcanoes. Instead, they heard scientific history in the making.

He cites the Village Voice, which doesn't have the Real Paper's staff share holder structure but whose pages are peppered with fiefdoms where writers like Jill Johnston and Jonas Mekas run amok without editorial interference.
