Feminists

(1,532 posts)We're all feminists--even though we may not agree in every instance.
I am a feminist. I don't classify myself as second wave or third wave and I allow no one to put me in either category. I support other feminists, whether they be white, black, straight, or gay. I will not always agree with them but that doesn't mean I'm not on their side.
It's almost like this thread has become some sort of litmus test for feminists.

"a person should not be able to throw out a one two in insult, walk away and not own up to her mistake. then be patted on the back as being picked on by the white middle aged women"
I think you may be taking some of these posts much too personally. I see people passionately standing up for their beliefs (from all perspectives), and sometimes that can come across as harsh or insulting. I've seen insults by both "sides" as it were (not by you). I'll admit there are references to other threads in other forums that I have not followed, so I may be unaware of exactly what you mean.
The purpose of this thread is to select hosts/subhosts. Ultimately, I hope those hosts can be even-handed in their duties even when they see a post or feminist perspective with which they disagree.
