I used to look in on all the feminists forums now and then but I've never participated even though I enjoy the academic side of feminism. But these unrelenting attacks have, in essence, "driven me into their arms" and has inspired me to speak up more in defense of the misrepresentation of much of the feminist theory discussed in GD.
As a feminist, I really do not feel safe in GD. If I happen to agree or take the side of the women who are regularly derided, I am accused of being part of the swarm or the hive and to watch my tone. Tone? Tone is mostly in the readers head.
I believe the participation in History of Feminism (HoF) has increased since Meta has closed down and some DUers have begun to openly mock some feminists in GD with petty door threads (I think I hid over 30) and "joking" tit threads. So, despite all those who claim that HoF is ruining it for other feminists, quite a few women are liking what they see there and what they are trying to do in GD.
