Theme & Character Lists: Feminist & LBG SF Er*tica

Even with my relatively lax definitions of "feminism," it's hard to come up with "feminist sf er*tica." Is anything that celebrates women's sexuality feminist? Only stuff that specifically defines itself as feminist? Somewhere in between? Of course usually the writing is too focused on, well, sex, to be concerned with politics. Still, I might include in this bibliography works which are strongly pro-woman, explicitly feminist, or gender-tweaking in a manner especially likely to inspire feminist (as well as dirty) thoughts.

Note: Alas, because of the distressing types of spam I have been receiving lately, I'm forced to make this website a little less user-friendly. So, I'm spam-proofing a lot of words that might trigger offensive spammers to add me to their lists. This will make it more difficult to use this site as a legitimate research resource. Hopefully the problems will be resolved as I move towards a database which is not so easily spidered / spammed.
