History of Feminism

(115,186 posts)Not sure how any of these groups could become prisons, but they kind of have to become fortresses. If any constructive, relatively enjoyable (given the subject matter) discussions are to take place, they simply have to block out those who would come in and disrupt, derail, and basically waste everyone's time demanding to be educated on feminism 101, all the while denying that any of it is in any way valid or real.
As for us vs. them, IMO it helps to know who the opposition is. For too long certain types have been ignored and thereby allowed to flourish. Now, finally, the SPLC has stepped in and called these people out. Finally people are noticing that this most recent pushback is not just some people who stand in opposition to progress, they are actual hate groups.
