the term "dyke" just doesn't mean what it used to.
When "Dykes to Watch Out For" creator Alison Bechdel named the comic back in 1983, the word had a different meaning than it does now.
"I think I gave it two brain cells of thought," she said. Back then, she said, she knew many women who identified themselves proudly as dykes and didn't give it a second thought.
