Yeah, there was a lot of infighting in feminism at the time—there was the Old Guard, kind of personified by Betty Friedan, who wrote The Feminine Mystique, who was kind of opposed to the gay contingent, which she called the Lavender Menace, which she believed prevented mainstream society from accepting feminism and seeing it as credible.
