I was living in Oakland, California when we began mapping plans for a "Women's Safe Space." It was to be a community space run entirely by women; an environment in which sexual tension and gender-related power dynamics had been dissolved; we would feel empowered while teaching and learning from other women; we could freely relate to each other about the common roadblocks and pitfalls of being female in a male-dominated world.The rules were only this: while men were welcome in the space, women controlled the decision-making process.
