34. Little reminder for you---feminism forum
Edited on Fri Feb-22-08 06:27 PM by bliss_eternal
From our mission statement-

The purpose of the DU Feminists Group is to provide a safe and non-threatening community where all those interested in discussing and trying to resolve the problems that are inherent to women in society can come and work together free from defending the basic premise that issues do exist which specifically affect and limit women, their rights and their potential.

We believe that women do not start on the same rung as men on the ladder of success; that misogyny and sexism do indeed exist in America circa 2005; and that the progress made for women's rights is being seriously and immediately threatened by this administration.

The goal of this group is to understand the problems (and how they affect women), identify the myriad causes (and how they can limit a woman's vision and opportunity) and propose solutions (and how we can bring those solutions in a meaningful way out into the greater community).

Pay attention now, this is important:
Attempts to minimize or dismiss women and/or the issues being discussed are not welcome.
- Like-minded DUers of all genders are encouraged to participate.


You of your own free will, come to this forum to tell women what they should or should not believe in...as feminists.
You also come here, telling people how they should eat, and what they should feel about what they eat....as feminists.

At the same time, you seem to believe that if you spout a bit of feminist jargon, no one here will call you on your overwhelmingly sexist assertions.

But you're calling ME a troll?
:rofl:

How very interesting, and transparent.
