Feminists

I mean, having the guts to come out and admit to being rich (I merely hinted at it with that art acquisition thing -- and unless property prices go up a little more, I won't hit that mark for a bit longer) ... that's the bravery that's needed!

Other than real estate price inflation, every penny I have I have worked to acquire, at what is essentially a piecework rate, although in a highly skilled "intellectual worker" occupation -- and did that for over a decade while also working for peanuts to provide legal representation for various disadvantaged client groups, including women refugees who had been victims of sexual violence, for example.

What was I supposed to do? Not go to university? I struck it lucky there; I'd been too young and too preoccupied with politics, and too working-class, to know about the importance of applying to "good" schools, so I applied to where I thought I'd like to live for law school. I arrived the year the old Irish Catholic boys' club dean left -- which mean that my class was 30% women, instead of the 6 women out of 107 in the class before me. Had I not made it into law school, I'd have found some other well-paid occupation -- but a lot of vulnerable people would not have had the legal representation they got from me. My success was crucial to their success. I think that's an intersectionality that might be worth noting.

I suspect that your gay male Republican would not be safe at the hands of our third-wavers / other perspective-ers. What I can't figure out is where that line is drawn, and how it affects their relationship with the broader feminist movement and we who are on the other side of the line -- which is why I started the thread that has been hidden from the board now (but you can still read it).
