Why I joined the Feminist group. [View all]

I decided to join the Feminist group on DU3 because I had several good conversations with Women that belong to this group. I have become more interested in learning and becoming more aware of Women's issues in the last several years.

I am not an expert on the subject, and I am not an expert on different Phobia's or different accronyms. I am learning about these things now thanks to the participants of this group. I am hoping to become more educated and try to take that education on into real life events.

I didn't sign up to see snipping, flame wars and pile-ons. As a protected group I had more faith in it quite frankly. We have GD for that!

I hope that this just an odd "flap" and that the group will recover and move on towards what really matters.
