"Orchards in the Arctic: Women Who Love Men"
By Kay Leigh Hagan
From Ms. magazine, November/December 1991
Background on the context in which this essay was written.
Date Reading Was Discussed: January 12, 1992
Present: Kallsa, Colleen M., Catherine C., Cathleen M., and Robin Z.
For the heterosexual, bisexual and lesbian women present at this session, Kay Hagan's essays were the Catalyst for a deeply personal discussion on what it means to be female in a patriarchal culture. Hagan asks, "Can a woman ever trust a man?" We basically agreed with her response that a "woman can trust a man to be a man," i.e., men are socialized to be male supremacists. Our conversation did not particularly center on attitudes of overt sexist behavior, nor were we preoccupied with physical sex.
