Combined Groups Draft SOP

Be kind, my friends, because I just banged this out after eating dinner. I tried to keep the essential parts of all the SOPs, as well as adding a bit of "linking language," so it is a bit long.

For discussion:

"Looking for a Group to discuss all issues affecting women in the U.S. and around the world? NAME OF GROUP is a safe haven where anyone interested in discussing and trying to resolve the problems that are inherent to women in society can come and work together, without having to defend the basic premise that issues do exist which specifically affect and limit women, their rights and their potential. This includes “traditional” feminist concerns and theories; intersectionality, the concept often used in critical theories to describe the ways in which oppressive institutions (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia, classism, etc.) are interconnected and cannot be examined separately from one another, as well as lighter topics including recreation, movie and book reviews, and anything else that is a part of our lives. We believe that the best way to build a strong community is to laugh with and learn from one another."

But that might be complicated for an SOP. It looks good obamanut.

Can we add ageism to the list of theories?

Excellent job!

I was impressed you put in ableism. Knowing you, I should have realized it was an accident.
