WHY WIMMIN-ONLY SPACE?

As i sit around the fire awaiting my verdict my mind wanders off to other places. I question myself well what is so bad about being homeless, i feel homeless right now. Did my leaving really create such a roar or am i being used as the "cat's paw"? I now realize that many of the wimmin who were in the group when i left had some real issues with me, but they never told me so. So is it so important to me to be a part of the particular group? There are many wimmin who are not a part of this group so becoming a part of another group certainly can not be that difficult. Why am i pondering being in another group as i await my fate with this one. I realize that i do like this group of wimmin or is it that i am dependent on them? The fire looks good, i could walk out the gate right now and never come back but what is that about? I really want to be here, and if the group decides no can do then i will concern myself with what else, but for now the fire looks good. I realize that wimmin-only space is very very important to me and i find myself asking myself as me alter often does, how bad do i want this? I want wimmin-only space, i would love to be solely in wimmin-only space, there are feelings i have when i am in wimmin-only space that i don't feel in any other space, and yes i want the space bad enough to fight for it. How do you explain to wimmin the intensity of the space? There are some women who feel that wimmin-only space is discriminatory, well isn't everything. I mean don't we all discriminate or discern all the time? I mean if not how could i get the message over that i am a vegetarian, is not that an act of discernment and discrimination? Is it because i make a concious effort to be with my kind? And if that is it then how do i remain true to my heritage? When i asked or when anyone ask to be with who they see to be there own kind is that not discerning and discriminating? If not how do you explain Polish, Italian, Jewish clubs and or organizations? How do you explain the NAACP? How do you explain Indian Reservations? How do you explain those who dress a certain way to indicate their cultures, religions and customs? Why wimmin-only space well figure it out.
