failure or steady. Not sure if u agree:
1)Many female radicals turned to political radicalism after their relation with men failed(divorce or otherwise). May not be caused by the undesirable political outlooks of their male partners. I suspect just a way to re-channel their anguish. I have a female colleague whose BF(according to her) was snatched by another female 30 yrs ago and is still grudging to this day. She often makes stupid political comments.
2)Many homos pick up the political views of their mates. I suspect their initial encounters were impromptu & anonymous then regrouped according to how well their posterior can convey ideology/nationalistic causes. Jewish homos sure have a job here
