The Price We Pay

October 25, 2008

Another piece from a womyn of colour at Michfest. This one is close to my heart. She talks about resisting the shitty dom/sub, butch/femme destructive heteropatriarchal dichotomy in lesbian relationships… as well as other things. Thank goddess for sane womyn like this.

  2. YES. There is no place like Michfest, that I have ever found, where you can EXPECT to see this kind of amazing womon in this kind of amazing performance. The hairs stand up on the back of your neck and they stay stood up! HA.

    Allecto, Dissenter, and everyone, I SO WISH you could go to the Festival. I don’t know how many more years we will have it as it is now– I’ve vowed come hell or high water, I’ll be there this year and every year thereafter.

    Thanks for this encouragement, Allecto!

  3. I wish I could go too. It looks just unbelievably awesome. Sigh.

    I’ll have to make do with the bits I see on youtube!
