With or without you

Yesterday we went and I Etwas meeting with Cristina Gramolini and after his speech, a lot of stupid questions and some intelligently, I left the room with a list of books to read and something to think about.

The intervention, which followed a chronological development, has addressed many of the key issues, different from today the myth dell'impunibilità lesbian discrimination in the past, from romantic friendships of Victorian weddings to Bostonians napulatinelle Italian, from class struggle to feminism, from extremism to separatism. And this

theme is extended in questions, responses, memories and data. Perhaps because it is particularly felt, maybe because a little 'issue, and in need of clarification. Even for someone like me, felt a bit 'around and had become an idea of \u200b\u200bthe existence of extremist and his opposition to Arcilesbica Arcigay, generic or other associations.

extremism There was, however, in the words of Gramolini, only a glossy, even painful awareness of the different identities and different ends, and darkness of the issues more closely lesbian associations in general. We are born, he said, with the illusion of equality, the new generations of old ones, you start thinking that we can really work together on an equal footing, dialogical, neutral. But it is not, because the starting conditions are different, the historical and material conditions that lead a boy to be a gay guy to be gay and a lesbian lesbian, and even before that lead a woman to be woman. And there is still so much need in these times, a reflection on the figure, the role, the dignity of women. There is still a need, we have also called us to be feminists.

And suddenly I do not seem so strange, so wrong and fields to air the desire of an association that deals in the first instance of us lesbians and women, often still invisible. An association that still does not flinch, but is actively working on common ground, as the demand for rights and the fight against homophobia.

not yet fully convinced, the question is not easily remedied, for example, could respond by trying to change from the generic types of associations. I do not know. I, however, that for some time bouncing from one group to another with vague desire to be helpful, and I still have not found one that satisfies me, Arcilesbica maybe there's a jump to do it.
