1. I think during the Prop 8 we fiasco lost good members

From the black and Gay communities. I know the more vocal Gay members talk about a gay purge from that time. I feel like AA members are less, but those a really good questions. I hope you get answers from those communities

Sea, the feminists left. I know a few were PPR'd, but most just walked away without a word, unless it was in a thread. The rise of other social media allowed them to find feminist friendly places. Remember Bliss eternal? We often exchanged pm's. The Ridiculous MRA's sealed the deal-- they make no sense whatsoever, but are good at derailing topics. It's one of the reasons I was so upset that anti- choice views are allowed here. First you have misgoynist assholes of one variety and then an another variety of asshole who thinks women shouldn't have human rights. I'm just glad the feminist groups exist.
