This is a collection of impressions from women who travelled down to participate and get anything out for their efforts. There were many divisions Wellington over Easter Weekend to attend the Women Learning seminar. We and splits, much disagreement, but only by hearing and experiencing other thought it would be better to have a number of women comment on what they points of view could we hope to come to a final viewpoint of our own. thought about the weekend as, from the start, there were many different The premise for the weekend (which was not widely known beforehand, opinions on the weekend, its structure, and the ideas that came forward. because of some dissension in the organising collective..more of that later) Advance advertising described the seminar as “a three day learning was “that all women are oppressed by all men." I t was said that this premise experience... with a woman only environment" You were “assured of by its very nature was dividing. The premise was not meant to be a stimulation, provocation and sharing." One key statement seemed to be conclusion, but rather a starting point for discussion. forgotten occasionally..."your participation is the key to the weekend's And likewise, the following comments are not meant to be a conclusion on success. " the weekend was successful Those who argued that it wasn't didn't the weekend's events but rather a starting point for discussion and thought.

I found the weekend was largely attended by white middle class women (perhaps an Women Are Learning -about our own bodies, aobut our sexist intrinsic fault of the ‘seminar’ way of The Venus Curfew education, about our degraded social position, learning), so I felt racism workshops and the time spent on discussing domestic racism was about defending ourselves, about affecting/ a very good idea. One point that came out of effecting change, about holistic health, about our oppression, about our black sisters’ the discussion of a video and a NPR (New Male masturbator at the window: double oppression, about our lesbian sisters Perspective on Racism) roleplay was the a sickening exhibition of ‘penis power’ anger at our rejection/oppression, about fear mono-cultured nature of the society that we kept at bay by the hairsbreadth of glass, and fighting it, about our mothers and live in.

I’ve also been made decided that a small lounge would be set aside discussion depends on the people that “ALL MEN ARE SPACE INVADERS.” acutely aware of the way the women’s as a ‘Lesbian Space’. This was branded participate and the direction in which those “A WOMAN NEEDS A MAN LIKE THIS movement by and large ignores the needs of elitism, separatism and a few more people wish to take the discussion.

This and the general issue of uncomplimentary terms by some straight more keeping to the topic could have meant a racism continued to be raised throughout the women present. It was not intended like that. little more knowledge being imparted on an Fiona Cameron weekend, an obvious effect of the Saturday workshops. As valuable as the formal workshops I attended were the spontaneous discussions that sprung up between women over meals, and in the pub. A lot of the good feelings I had about the weekend come from talking to other women informally and sharing experiences. GRADUATION PHOTOGRAPHS One of the things that moved me was, after watching a video on the four month fight of Rixen women for redundancy pay, meeting a woman who had emerged as their spokesperson. Because of her involvement, she has been unable to get a job since, and is BEDE leaving New Zealand. On Monday night I came home from a really nice evening spent talking in the pub with two ther women, to find police at the hall we were PHOTOGRAPHY staying in. While one sister had been there alone, a man had come prowling around and stood masturbating outside the window in DOWNTOWN UPTOWN front of her. As women, most of us know the fear and helplessness that she felt. I also feel angry at how easily our strength and confidence could be undermined like this.
