Member Discussion ~ SOP (Statement of Purpose)

[hlthe2b]

19. Just to clarify, I was in no way suggesting obvious misgoyny/disruption be given "benefit of doubt"

only that in the context of speaking to the history of feminism, those who simply bring up older, perhaps outdated, or controversial theory or premises for the purposes of discussion, be given initial benefit of the doubt and not automatically and immediately assumed to be proponents of those views. That is really the only way one can discuss the more academic aspects of feminism-- to have that safe venue, fostered on an assumption of mutual respect.

But, again, my post was in no way meant to suggest condoning those who would come to disrupt based on denunciation of the basic premises upon which this group was formed--the SOP. I agree that this needs to be a protected and safe haven for our purposes.
