deny who I am. That's sick! That's profoundly sick and I'm not going to do it. However, I understand that the nature of my, that the fact of, the how can I say it, for me to be perceived means for there to exist a power structure of women who evaluate each other's perception, ideas, and relations about reality. It's girls who have to measure my experience, not boys; it's  women who have to say, "Yes that's on or, that's not on" "Yes, that reflects my experience in life"; but that means a fundamental change in the basis of society, because women do not have power, they have now power to determine their own lives, they can only live covert lives; they can do what they want as long as nobody notices.

Well.  Let me talk a little about how I see, before I go on to my particular plans in this area, let me talk a little bit about how I see the situation of women in relationship to the rest of the revolutions that are taking place in society.  I think there's a fundamental problem in our society; it's the problem between the sexes.  I think that all the issues of racism, pollution of the landscape, rape of the natural resources, lack of respect for the species is tied up and linked directly to the fact that the whole basis of our society is non-egalitarian; that is, in order for a man to be able to not perceive the humanity of his own sister or his own wife, to be able to use her as a sexual object, demand that she do work that he is unable, unwilling, and absolutely would flip out if he was asked to do: in order for that to go on, a man must be cut off from the wellsprings of his own feeling.  Once he is cut off from those wellsprings, once he can deny the humanity of his own wife, it's easy to deny the humanity of a black, or of a Vietnamese.  As long as we have revolutions that are just a change of power from one set of hands to the other, we're going to keep on having the same shit we have.  It's ludicrous to see Dr. Spock marching for self-determination of the Vietnamese, while writing articles saying that it's women's duty, and actually that their fundamental happiness is derived from having babies and staying home.  Well, having babies and staying home and having a relationship is a wonderful part of life.  But that's what it is; it's a very small part of life.  There is much more in the world than a man for a woman; there are so many
