Women's issues seem to get lost and drowned out by intersectionality. The focus is on class and race. Not gender. There was also alot of tension when LGBT voices made themselves heard. That upset me.

Occupy depressed me and I abandoned it. Too much infighting. And if you weren't an anarchist, you got run over. Here, anyway.
