Within political collectives, and also in small consciousness-raising or depth-analysisgroups, the masculine and eminine roles, the maternal and paternal roles recreatethemselves through the intricate inter-relationships o leadership and delegation,complicity and discomort that emerges rom the progressive discovery o individualdifferences. As soon as the political denition o identity against collapses andthe male quaopposition uses with a hypothetical outside, it is the inside o thecollective that is threatened by a reection o the male-emale bipolarity, under theguise o aggression-passivity. Te woman who is able to take the oor more easilybecomes, in the Movement, a typical gure o male power. Power, in act, takes theorm o a tendency to exclude someone different rom onesel and to solidiy a col-lective usage into linguistic and ideologic norm. Word power is thereore exerted by

women who appear to be sexually repressed and with dependency needs.

Since the exercise o power always reers to a relationship o seduction and thereoreto reciprocal dependency, the reverse o word power is silence power, springing

rom old eminine seductive guiles (beauty, sweetness, emotionality, instinctivity).Anyway, what eminism intuits is that the rst type o domination which is consid-ered the more dangerous because more introjected and omnipresent, is not less realthan the second, since it too is a distorted and partial reection o the real relation-ships o power active in the so-called outside.

I try to represent mysel, act out the inconsistencies,contradictions, how I play, desire, labor. Its not enough or me just to give anaccount o mysel. Behind that pointing nger, raised to accuse, I want to hear not

only I heard you! but also I saw you! Yes, this character o mine is positivelypolitical.
