MEN TAL IMPINGEMENT

Mental impingement keeps going through my head.Well if its mental i suppose my head is where it suppose to go eh.what is mental impingement?is that anything like when we are constantly told that women is the way to spell wimmin and we become convinced that that is it the only way to do that? or that we must eat (meat)in order to be healthy?or that (money) equals success?or(men)are to be honored and looked up to?well i certainly can see mental impingement,but when is there no mental or any other impingement's?so to get back to where we were, i asked the womon who had called herself a lesbian separatist,her thoughts about the third of the divides that we were talking about (men).what she said surprised me and i quote" i do believe you are accurate when you speak of the 3M's as the three divides,however i think that the divides are the tools of women and wimmin who use them as such,i think that they in and of themselves have no dividing power over us until we allow that to happen". i asked are u suggesting that (men),(meat)and (money)have no power in and of themselves unless we give it to them?"Yes"exactly.well now my brain needs quiet

WORDS OF POWER OR CHOWDER

well now the chowder was good,did cool us down a bit,however we must begin again,never again just begin.(LHD-in wimmin-only space) is the place to come to terms with all that is dyke,lesbian and dyke and lesbian centered.we place all that is a concern or concerns on the table,we agree to at least talk, sometimes loudly,sometimes quietly, sometimes slowly ,sometimes rapidly,nonetheless we talk,often this talking leads us to not talk to each other for awhile, to sometimes seek solitude which allows us to digest,assimilate,absorb,eliminate, all of this is absolutely necessary to bring us back to the table,to begin anew the talking.Now with that said let us go on to the next divide of the 3M's those M's that divide us wimmin.We talked about (meat)and(money)and now we talk about(men).When we said this three wimmin got up and announced that if this was to be the next subject we discuss they would leave,because they could not see the need to bring (men)on any level into our conversation and especially in a(LHD-in wimmin-only space).I told them that of course t'was their choice to leave if they wished,however i asked them to consider,when we were talking about (meat)and(money)they did not leave,so what is it now that makes leaving so important?did they fear talking about (men)?I also noted that indeed the 3rd divide was working should they choose to leave.At this one of the wimmin said we are (lesbian separatists),and find the discussions about (men) impinges upon our mental space,and is particularly inappropriate in this space.I asked what better space to clear the air on impingements on mental space and to become more acquainted with the tenets of (lesbian separatism),at this point one womon agreed to stay the other 2 wimmin left.At this place i said well see the divide seems to be accurate
