Feminists
In reply to the discussion: I would like to officially volunteer to be the host of this group. [View all]Violet_Crumble
(36,157 posts)I'd like to see what you think are areas where you think what gay women want conflict with what straight women want, because I can't see anything and would like some help understanding...
Personally I don't give a shit about all that second/third wave crap, and I think pigeon-holing feminists into little groups where you tell them what their priorities are supposed to be is just a bit on the exclusionary side. Shouldn't we be committed to fighting all discrimination and exploitation of all women rather than focusing on which feminist is sitting under what tidy labels, and discarding some because their fight isn't yr fight? See, I've got some pretty different views of prostitution than probably a lot of other feminists in this forum, but if the subject comes up, I'm not going to rush off and demand my own feminists group so I can block anyone who disagrees with me
btw, you've confused the hijab with the burqa. The hijab is the headscarf worn by many Muslim women, including a friend of mine, and has been banned from countries like Turkey. The burqa, on the other hand, is that all-encompassing sack thing, which is a very different story....
I'm not sure what rights of gay men you think trump anything to do with feminism. Would that be the right of them and other men to come into the group if the mood took them and yell abuse at some of the feminists in this group?
