When living as you like, its very important to have the freedom of choice. Often the lesbians dont want to imitate heterosexual style of relationship.

10. How do the lesbians fight against being pressed?

We believe, that every woman has the right to use her body as she likes. She also has the right to love and to be loved. These rights were taken off by men, who ruled the states, dominated at home and even in family bed. We need to fight with the laws and institutions which cut off the female liberty and freedom of choice. Female discrimination as well as the lesbian one is the result of male domination in all these fields. The feminism should also deal with the problems of heterosexual pressing. If women are afraid to talk about it openly, nothing will change. Its very important for the lesbians to be together, because only together we are more powerful and can achieve good results. While communicating, talking about our feelings, successes, work and problems we feel closer to each other. Remember, that there are millions of lesbians all over the world and together we can resolve everything!
