1. I second this.

If you post here or just read, please weigh in on Pri's suggestion that this group, Feminists, and Feminists and Diversity fold into one group.

I've posted my comment here:

2. should we open a poll here? i think it would be better for all communities of WRA and feminist

to have one vibrant place to post in, rather than smaller separate groups.

of course if this makes most members in this community feel unwelcome, then we should not do it.

3. Separate thread and poll. n/t

4. do you want to start one, please?

5. I think there should

be a women's rights group for women who don't identify as feminist (and it should be protected for women who really don't want to argue with men). Many of us who do identify would rather stay away from the harshness of that kind of group. Honestly, they're scary.

And, after all, women's rights are for all "women" not just for the ones who wave the right way, or even care to figure out which way might be right.

It shouldn't be so hard to have discussions about how life is treating you, and me, as women.

6. Thank you for your input, Control-Z.

Please vote in the new poll too.

7. "Serious Feminists" aren't scary

Well, most of them. It sucks you have had harsh experiences.

8. There are quite a few

who will no longer post regularly in those groups, if at all. I'm not the only one with that experience.

But I'm not sure what you mean by "Serious Feminists". How does one determine who is a "Serious Feminist" and who is not? And what exactly is it that scares people away from a group? Feminists who aren't serious?

Your comment really doesn't make sense to me.
