Actually, there are lots of sex-positive feminists out there; some were
just overlooked by the mainstream media during the 1960s and 1970s. 
Germaine Greer, Ellen Willis, Erica Jong, and Betty Dodson are
examples.  Jong has (rightfully) criticized more puritanical feminists.
But I think you make some very valid points there.  I think that these
days we are seeing a reevaluation of the claim that "the personal is
political."
