Feminists

btw, that pigeonholing thing I was talking about is there loud and clear in yr post. You don't know the first thing about me, yet you've been peppering yr posts with comments telling me all about what I'm supposed to be and what I supposedly think.

What a bunch of silly 'questions'. Where did I say anything of the sort? I didn't....

So according to you, a homeless woman in the US with a history of mental illness who just happens to be straight would be more privileged than you? And that if one were to post in this group talking about her experience as a woman and a feminist, you'd inform her that she's straight and she's more privileged than lesbians? I'd really hope not, because that sort of attitude would be a self-centred and exclusionary one...

I've noticed you make a lot of claims that just aren't backed up when yr asked about them. You claimed there were things gay women want that straight women don't and when asked about it the only thing you could come up with was porn and prostitution, something which opinions don't divide neatly down straight or gay lines. I've seen you up in H&M claiming that any views apart from those of a few people in this group aren't allowed. I've only been here since DU3, but that's completely wrong. There's nothing stopping you from discussing feminist issues that are of interest to you, but I haven't seen you do that, which is a shame because for all you know I could actually agree with some of them. And so what if someone disagrees? Isn't that what discussion forums like DU are for? When someone disagrees with you, they're voicing a dissenting opinion, not disallowing you from voicing yr own opinions. So what I'd suggest is that you should start voicing yr opinion and go from there instead of going off in a huff because people have opinions you don't agree with or don't hold the same single-minded focus as you do....
