Feminists

This forum is for discussion of women's rights, concerns and interests, and discussion of issues as they affect women, from the perspective and experience of women.


Seems clear.

Hm, I'm used to the use of "interests" as meaning things like "women's security interests" or "women's economic interests". I find it useful. But it comes off there sounding like it might mean baking or snowboarding.


Sharing news is interesting, but without some subject matter for discussion the proceedings would be dull. As I say, I personally would welcome discussion that reflects particular women's experiences and perspectives -- but not discussion from the perspective that starts from the premise, or makes the argument, that the concerns or interests of some other group a woman may belong to supercede the concerns and interests of women that feminists here consider to be legitimate.

Yes, we're caught in the vortex of "who's a feminist". Well, my own position, I guess, for the purposes of this group, would be someone who starts by putting women's concerns and interests (not their own, not some subgroup of women's, not some other group's) at the top of the list -- a spot it might share, but not be ousted from.

Does my brief restatement work for that?
