“Critics attacked what they perceived to be the key feature of lesbian chic, i.e., 'cheque-writing dykes who [look] suspiciously like the average Tory shithead's daughter' (Solanas 1993, p. 5).”

“[…] the fever surrounding lesbian chic in the 1990s belied "a larger cultural anxiety about the dangers of the lesbian body, exemplified by the simultaneous embrace of the 'new femme' as cutting edge and the denunciation of real-life lesbians as perverse and depraved".”
