some fragments from a friend's mail:
"all categorizations obstructs sponaneity and causing conflict inside and outside and destruct the beauty of the relationships actions.
being part of a specific category one has to analize every action according to an ideology created by someone (may be neurotic personalities) such as feminist, anarchist, activist.....
so one should have to supress the spontaneous actions and even the emotional urges because of this ideologic analisis. it will create conflict within and there by conflit in the society, for one has asked to oppose all the activities, good or bad of others which one thinks are againist a specific ideology.
so there will be no more creative activities of wholeness but paternalistic things like feminist writings, feminist thoughts, femiist romance.....
and ofcorse these are neurotic..."
So how would I reply, a feminist who have not stuck to anything so far, even to feminism and dont believe in a state of settlement untill fully evolved..(if ever such a state is achievable!)???
Here is one kind of a reply,
"I agree and do not agree.
We have to fix the context while talking
if we talk as mere human beings living in mind, not transcended individuals, then all of us are neurotic so are feminists activists and painters.
I disagree while talking of it from among the mix of conflicts we live. There are so much to be noticed about the rules that governs us either in family society or in a nation.When we (the "I" is) are subjected to such rules we should understand its origin and try to equip ourselves at least to defend and keep going. So if u dismiss activism and feminism on the ground of being elivated, u r disregarding the world where it really matters.
we mix...too many things. While talking of certain things we occupy the position of superior individuals or at least healthy ones, and dismiss so many categories as belonging to the unhealthy. But we are not yet out of so many inllness. So madness can be cured, how?
u can depend on ideologies for such cure.
and once u r healthy u dont need any medicines.the healthy one should stay away from any ideology. I will leave feminism once i become healthy enough and am sure of the people with whom i ineteract( I mean they should also be healthy, otherwise my healthy state will not in itself suffice and make me fit to disregard ideology.)"
I would be glad if any more clarification is posted on this subjects by feminists.Discussing feminism as a passing phase is what i always preferred though language is insufficient to make why i think of it so.

I suggest reading an essay by Jean Luc Godard. It is called Two or Three Things I Know about her. By the way the essay is a film and not in writing.
